2023 Presidency: Vote Credible Candidate From Anywhere – Gov Uzodinma

He urged Nigerians to vote for credible presidential candidates based on merit rather than zoning when casting their ballots.

On the sidelines of the first plenary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria in Abuja on Sunday, Uzodinma revealed this to journalists.

“Of course, it will be a good idea to zone the Presidency to the Southeast,” the governor says, “but in my best interest, the process is what we should be looking at.” Tribe or place of origin are not a factor in our democracy’s books (1999 Constitution).

“So, in my good conscience and moral instinct, all I say is that Nigerians should vote in a representative manner so that everyone gets a sense of what the presidency is in reality, but beyond that, and most importantly, is the need for merit and competence.”
