Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has said that the Southeast will like to know what they will benefit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before committing to vote for the party in 2023.
Ikpeazu who stated this during a telephone conversation with the Nation newspaper said he has no intention of leaving the PDP but his concern is where the Southeast will be positioned if the party wins the 2023 presidential election.
“That is my concern. That is what I am fighting for. Our votes are for the PDP if we receive assurances of our position in 2023 from the PDP, where I belong in the first place. It is not about playing hard with the PDP. It is about knowing what we will be given after the elections. These are things we need to sort out early before we commit to anybody. It is not enough for us to vote for the party. It is about where we are going to be positioned after the election. You don’t run blind in politics. But it is about working things out properly. That is my personal concern.”
Speaking further, he said after the region was denied the presidential ticket and the running mate slot, the Southeast deserves to be treated better.
“The South East cannot continue to be treated as an outsider in the politics of the country. If we don’t have the presidency and the vice presidency, we are asking for something better, something good for the zone. We can’t just vote or deliver our state for the fun of it. We must be sure of why we are voting.”
