A former House of Representatives member, Mr. Eseme Eyiboh on Thursday in Akwa Ibom has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should zone its presidential ticket to the South in 2023.
The former lawmaker also noted that Nigeria needs a detribalised leader.
He dismissed the agitations for micro zoning being canvassed by some politicians for the next president to come from one of the three regions in the South.
The one-time Chairman of the House of Reps Committee on information and immediate-past board chairman of the Cross River Basin Development Authority, spoke on the state of the nation in his Akpautong country home in Esit Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
According to him Nigeria was in a critical stage and therefore in dire need of a leader who will set aside every ethno-religious sentiment in administering the country.
Eyiboh described Asiwaju Tinubu as a nationalist with a large heart who accommodates everyone regardless of ethno-religious backgrounds, an attribute the incoming president must posses to unite Nigeria.
