Renowned lawyer, lawyer and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Anthony Chyma, has lamented the gale of defection from the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) to the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said the development was a strategic plan by enemies of Ndigbo to ensure that the presidency eludes the Southeast come 2023.
Chyma, in a press statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja said, a calculated attempt was being made to thwart the chances of President Muhammudu Buhari from handing over power to a candidate from the southeast come 2023.
He said, “The gale of defection is a strategic plan by enemies of Ndigbo to ensure that the presidency eludes the Southeast come 2023. I call on all well meaning Ndigbo to lend their support to President Mahammudu Buhari to reciprocate his kind gesture of supporting the Southeast come 2023 for Nigerian President.
“Enough of sectional politics for Ndigbo. Can we ask ourselves why the Southeast people are rather joining APC instead of defecting; those defectors are out to frustrate the plans of an Ndigbo man being president in the next dispensation.
“This is our chance now. We should not be deceived by the antics of anti-Southeast politicians who would rather die than see a man from the region becoming the President of Nigeria.
“Those preaching restructuring are playing on your intelligence. Can they preach it in their regions, which definitely do not support such ambiguous claim? I enjoin our great leaders to jettison the call for restructuring which was coined to deceive the people of the Southeast,” Chyma said.
He stated that the defectors’ only agenda is to frustrate President Buhari’s plan for a Southeast presidency in 2023.
