South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 (A project of South-East APC Integrity Group) has urged South-east All Progressives Congress members to rally round Senator Ken Nnamani for president in 2023.

In a statement signed by the National Coordinator of the group, Dr. Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu, the group warned that no South-Easterner must be seen or heard anywhere using religious affiliation or personal relationships against the candidature of Ken Nnamani because South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 is a collective Project which supersedes any personal ambition.

It said that in order for the region’s ambition to materialise, members of the APC in the South-east must present a united front by putting up structures in Abuja and all 36 states of Nigeria as part of the sensitisation efforts.

“We must be seen across Nigeria canvassing for support for the South-East and our preferred presidential aspirant. Really, we have lost some time and must not waste more time on frivolities. Support the Project and our preferred presidential aspirant.

“After we have won both primary and the general election, all will be accommodated in the Ken Nnamani-led Presidency of Nigeria. We cannot all become President, but President of Nigeria of South-East extraction will cater to all our needs.

“Our campaign is ultimately to usher in a glorious era of security, peace, unity and prosperity in Nigeria and for all Nigerians. Support the Project and our preferred presidential aspirant, Senator Ken Nnamani, GCON.

“A special appeal is here reserved for South-Southerners who are Muslims or who pride themselves as having special relationships with Muslims and non-South-Easterners. Yes, personal relationships are important, but they must not be used personally, selfishly or maliciously against anyone else. And it should not be a sole advantageous basis for anyone to want to become President of Nigeria.

“We know we have many real and presumed Alhajis who are from the South-East and who are of APC, but the choice of who represents South-East in what will be a hard-fought presidential contest on the APC platform must not be because of anyone’s personal religious preference or personal relationships.”
