Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to release its 2023 presidential ticket to the south or face a divided house.
Okorocha argued that it’s only logical and sensible for the APC to do this as the North has enjoyed its turn at the central government since 2015 and it is only natural for power to return to the south.

Okorocha who stated this event tagged “Conversation with Owelle @ 59”, noted that there’s no justification for APC zoning the Presidency away from the South.
In his words, “If zoned to the North, the party will be polarised. When I took the All Progressives Grand Alliance to the APC for the South-East to be in mainstream politics, I was called many names. We should develop a national spirit, that high spiritual elevation above personal convictions. It protects the indigent and weak in society. I see positive and new things to come in Nigeria with such a spirit. I agree with Southern Governors on the Southern Presidency.”
