Group demands zoning of presidential power to southern christian in 2023 Group demands zoning of presidential power to southern christian in 2023 All the major political parties in Nigeria have been enjoined to reserve their presidential tickets for competent and experienced Southern Christians in 2023. This position was canvassed by the Nigeria Equity Group (NEG) at a press conference in Abuja yesterday. The National Convener of the group, Dr. Emeka Nwosu stated that this would guarantee the peace and stability of the nation. The Group observed that by 2023 when President Buhari, a Northern Muslim, would have completed his tenure, the North would have held presidential power for eight years. It argued that it will be grossly unfair for the North to seek to hold power after Buhari as this may lead to national crises.
