Ngige:- Igbos Will Feel Less Marginalized If They Produce Next President.

Perceived feelings of social process within the Southeast are going to be mostly assuaged if the region produces Nigeria’s next president.

This is the view of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige.

He, however, told Channels Television’s Ladi Akeredolu-Ale on the current affairs programme Newsnight that it's unhappy there's no provision within the 1999 constitution stating that successive election is to be zoned to the south.

Speaking additional, Ngige aforementioned this is often why he believes that the 1995 constitution created by the late General Sani Abacha’s administration would have been highly fitted to Nigeria’s current scenario.

“The folks within the space have perceived that they're marginalized, that they're unappreciated, whether or not it had been done by info and indoctrination or not, that's currently immaterial.

“So I trust that proposal, sadly, the Nigerian constitution doesn't have that. this is often where I quarrel with people who authored the 1999 Constitution.

“I still believe nowadays, tomorrow, that the Abacha Constitution of 1995 that espouses rotational presidency into the six zones in African nation, one five-year tenure so as to heal all the injuries; the wounds of warfare, and also the wound of June twelve.

“Now, that constitution would have been the simplest constitution for Nigerians to use for successive thirty years by that the six zones would have tested the presidency,” the minister explicit .
