Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Regional Colligate Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, South-South, Onochie Osheokwu, has called on the African Democratic Congress to zone its presidential ticket to the South.
Osheokwu stated this on Monday while appearing as a guest on Arise Television.
His remark is coming as political parties gather momentum for next year’s general elections.
He said Nigerians are well aware of who would be the strongest candidate, adding that the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, from the Southeast, also represents the South.
Osheokwu said, “We in the South-South want the ADC to zone its presidential ticket to the South.
“Among all the contenders, we in the Obidient Movement believe the best candidate is clear. The one who embodies the conscience of the movement and the leadership that Nigerians are seeking.
“What happened at Chief John Odigie-Oyegun was a consultation. Like every other person is saying. But it’s so bad that the politics of Nigeria has been reduced to propaganda and not the basic issue confronting the country.”
