Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi, has said that in 2023, Nigerians should vote for a leader with the kind of personality like President Muhammadu Buhari.
Shortly after a brief meeting with the President in Aso Rock, Umahi told reporters at the State House that Buhari’s successor should also come from the South East.
He said: “For me, I’m very much entrenched in completing my projects. And I will look into politics when my tenure is remaining one year, which is from May 29 2022. And I think it is the same thing with other governors of South East and by extension, governors of APC.
“My position about what you ask is that our people that are in those political parties are making the efforts in selling the need for south-east to produce the next president.
“But I think both the governors and Mr President should not be distracted. When the elections are done and won, it should be governance, but in this country, the moment the election is completed, the next one starts to hear is that the masses are being cheated.
“So, those whose job politics are and who are not into elected position, or appointed position have all the time and the opportunity to do this canvassing. And I think that they are doing it and doing it very well.
“But I continue to say that power rests in the hands of God. And God will also give us the next president who has good heart like President Buhari for the good of this country.
“We need God’s own anointing for our own anointed president for the interests and unity of this country.”
