Following the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the presidential ticket to the South East, former Minister for Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu has said there is no justice as it was contained in the party motto.
Onu disclosed this on Tuesday at the party Special Convention held at Eagles Square.
The former Minister of Science and Technology, while selling his agenda to the party delegates just before the commencement of voting at the presidential primary, stated that the APC candidate must have come from the South East to replace President Muhammadu Buhari.
“What is very very important, exceptionally important, is that we must ensure that justice is upheld,” he said in his address.
“Naturally, it should be somebody from the South East that will replace (Buhari), and that will give the opposite South versus North and Christian versus Muslim a balance, and it will bring stability to the nation; it will strengthen Nigeria.
“The South West had eight years as president, eight years as vice president; the South South had eight years as president and vice president; where is the justice? Where is the justice?” Dr. Onu asked in anguish.
He recollected how 23 years ago, he sacrificed his presidential ambition just so that two candidates from the South West could run.
