Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election there have been consistent calls for the presidency to return to the South region of the country particularly the South-East.
And in view of the clamour, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state is reportedly plotting to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) over their failure to zone the presidency to the South-East.
Ohanaeze Ndigo Youth Council also called on the PDP to zone the Presidency to the region or experience major defections.
Senators Rochas Okoracha and Orji Uzor Kalu have been seen touring different parts of the country, especially in the North, to align themselves with political heavyweights in the country.
