2027 presidency: It’s turn of South-East – ACC declares

Allied Conservative Congress (ACC), has called for the Nigeria President of South-East extraction come 2027, saying that it would sustain the unity of Nigeria.

The Chairman of the party, Olusegun Peters, who stated this during the inauguration of Abia State executives of the party in Umuahia, said that the Igbo were yet to produce Nigeria President since the assassination of the former head of state, Gen. Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi on 29th of July, 1966.

Represented by the ACC National Vice Chairman, Northwest, Ibrahim Abdullahi, Peters disclosed that since the return of democracy 25 years ago, no Igbo person has occupied the number one seat of the country with North and South West each occupying the seat twice.

He noted that the party stands for equity and would stop at nothing to support the distribution of power among the three major tribes (Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba).

Abdullahi, who described Igbos as industrious people, expressed hope that the prevailing economic hardship in the country can be addressed by the ingenuity of an Igbo man.

Inaugurating the new Abia executives, the National party Chairman called for unity of purpose and collaboration among the State Working Committee (SWC), adding that the party has the interest of all Nigerians, irrespective of religious, ethnic and educational background.

In their separate remarks, the National Vice Chairman, North-Central, Hon. Illya Juan and the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Hon. Abubakar Sadiq and the National Vice Chairman, South-East, Vincent Eberechukwu congratulated the newly inaugurated executives for their steadfastness, expressing hope that they would lead the party to victory in the upcoming elections.

In his speech, the acting State chairman of ACC, Onyekachi Uwalaka appreciated the confidence reposed in the new state executive, promising that the party would be repositioned to win governorship and legislative seats in Abia in 2027.

Other executives of the party inaugurated included the State Vice Chairman, Dr. Jiwuba Peter, the party Secretary, Dr. Innocent Ikoro, among other principal officers.
