The Allied Conservative Congress (ACC) has advocated for the election of a President from the Southeast region of Nigeria in 2027, emphasizing that this move would promote national unity among citizens.
During the inauguration of Abia State executive in Umuahia, ACC Chairman, Olusegun Peters highlighted that the Southeast has not produced a Nigerian President since the assassination of General Johnson Aguyi-Ironsi in 1966.
Represented by the ACC National Vice Chairman, Northwest, Ibrahim Abdullahi, Peters pointed out that in the 25 years since the restoration of democracy, no individuals from the Igbo ethnic group has held the presidency.
But, however, both the North and the Southwest have each had two terms in office.
The ACC is committed to fairness and will actively support the equitable distribution of power among Nigeria’s three principal ethnic groups: Igbos, Hausa and Yoruba.
Abdullahi also expressed optimism that the current economic challenges facing the nation could be effectively addressed through the innovative capabilities of an Igbo leader.
During the inauguration, the National Party Chairman emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among the State Working Committee (SWC) and expressed confidence in the newly inaugurated executives to lead the party to victory in future elections.
