The group said it had over 60 chapters scattered within and outside the country, and urged the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to be fair, just and transparent in the screening of all presidential aspirants of the party.

Ohuabunwa, a former Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN), is one of the frontline aspirants from the South-East extraction aspiring to be Nigeria’s President come 2023, on the platform of the PDP.

According to the statement, the National Coordinator of the group, Rev. Okechukwu Obiora, announced the endorsement of the former Chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), in Enugu, on Friday, during its third year anniversary celebration.

The statement read in part: “Myself, other coordinators and members today welcomed members from the four corners of this country and overseas for this great time and purpose such as this, in the history of our dear country.

“We have called you to be part of history, when a pioneer advocacy movement in the South-East, such as South-East For President 2023, which has consistently and sacrificially traversed all the six geopolitical zones in the country and beyond with more than 60 chapters.

“Our vision is that by 2033 the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will come from the South-East.

“Our mission is to make every political party, especially the two major political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and PDP or any Third Force cede their presidential slots to the South-East geopolitical zone.

“We will also ensure that the South-Easterners work in concert or harmony to cede to the most viable and the most qualified entrant, as candidate.”

It added: “However, today we have ominous signs of our vision coming through positively and we are excited and thankful to God Almighty.

“Our mission also is getting fulfilled as the two major political parties in particular, the APC and the PDP, are having sleepless nights in not doing the needful, as our tireless optimism in our advocacy has caught them napping.

“Our untiring, persistent and courageous efforts these last three years have put these two major political parties in a state of ‘Amakaeme-Amaghi nke aga eme’ (in a confused, convoluted, dilapidated and unpatriotic state).

“In the event that our preferred aspirant does not emerge as a candidate of PDP, due to irregularities, we will meet to decide what other steps to take.”
