Former Governor of old Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has revealed that Nigeria will split up if a northerner again, becomes the President of Nigeria in 2023.
Ezeife, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said what he envisages in the forthcoming 2023 elections is that the two major political parties – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) present their candidates from the southern part of the country.
He said: “We expect APC and PDP to present a south-east person for president.
“What people say far away from the event is different from what they will say realistically when the event is near.
“I have heard about northern interest in this. The north likes Nigeria to survive because if they want to go again, it means they want to break the country completely.
“If they come out seriously, unfortunately, they will break the country immediately.”
He, however, hoped that the ongoing crisis in the ruling party would have no effect whatsoever on the 2023 presidency.
“I don’t think it will have any consequence on the presidency in 2023. Political crisis doesn’t last forever.
“This crisis won’t have any effect on the 2023 presidency,” the former governor said.
