We cannot be angling for 2023 Presidency and fail to make maximum impact on the very big national and international stage of APC National Convention sometime in December 2021.
That must be the best opportunity for the South-East to demonstrate utmost seriousness that the geopolitical zone is hungry for Nigeria’s 2023 presidency.
What happened on 30th October 2021 at the PDP National Convention was simply shameful and it must not be repeated when APC holds its own National Convention in December 2021.
Those who want to be elected into National Working Committee (NWC) positions – including South-Easterners and non-South-Easterners sympathic to our Project agenda – will be there.
We will support them at the APC National Convention, as we expect them to support us at the APC Presidential Primary Convention sometime in August 2022.
But our primary mission at the National Convention must be clear to all – to dominate the arena with South-East presidential razzmatazz.
On that day in December 2021, we expect any number of presidential aspirants of South-East extraction on APC platform to make a grand entry into the National Convention arena.
Among the presidential aspirants of South-East extraction, we expect conviviality and good behaviour all round – all in the spirit of sportsmanship and patriotism.
In fact, the character and seriousness of each presidential aspiration on display at the National Convention ground will determine how far the presidential aspirant will go in the race.
Our Project will only project the most credible and best-behaved presidential aspiration.
By August 2022 presidential primary convention of APC, only one South-Easterner will be entering into that presidential primary arena as a presidential aspirant.
So, for any South-Easterner who wants to become president of Nigeria on APC platform, the time for games is over.
Become openly and seriously interested in contesting for President or stop that self-delusion.
Ahead of the APC National Convention, each presidential aspirant of South-East extraction should have presidential poster, T-shirt and baseball cap.
And each should be escorted into the arena by up to 5,000 supporters.
You presidential aspirants of South-East extraction on APC platform will be at the National Convention of APC in December 2021.
We of South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 will be there too.
For you as for us, we have just one month to prepare.
Let’s not waste the available time for proper preparations for a great National Convention outing that would convince the world that the South-East means business.
Just imagine the embarrassment of not even a single South-Easterner going to the PDP National Convention with even one piece of presidential poster, only for one South-East PDP chieftain to take to the social media a day later to announce that he would contest for President of Nigeria!
That is what you see in unprepared and unserious individuals.
