Speaking in Abuja, the lawmaker observed that the current political arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not in support of the South East producing the next President of Nigeria in 2019.
“I am not expecting any Igbo person to contest for president under on the PDP platform in 2019.
“Based on truth and fact on ground, the political configuration of the party will not allow for an Igbo presidency in 2019.
