The Governor of Ebonyi state, Dave Umahi, has wished for another president like President Muhammadu Buhari to emerge in 2023. He opined that Nigeria needed a person with a good heart like the current president.
Governor Umahi made his wish known during an interactive session with State House correspondents after meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He went on to say engaging in 2023 politics now would be a distraction to both the president and state governors as it was too early.
However, he revealed that members of different political parties were working towards conceding their Presidential tickets to the region.
He said: “Well, for me, I’m very much entrenched in completing my projects.
“And I will look into politics when my tenure is remaining one year, which is from May 29 2022. And I think it is the same thing with other governors of southeast and by extension, governors of APC.
“My position about what you ask is that our people that are in those political parties are making the efforts in selling the need for south east to produce the next president.
“But I think both the governors and Mr. President should not be distracted. When the elections done and won, it should be governance. But in this country, the moment the election is completed, the next one starts is the masses that are being cheated.
“So, those whose job politics and who are not into elected position, or appointed position have all the time and the opportunity to do this canvassing. And I think that doing it and that doing it very well.
“But I continue to say that power rests in the hands of God. And God will also give us the next president who has good heart like President Buhari for the good of this country.
“We need God’s own anointing for our own anointed president for the interests and unity of this country.”
