EKO HOT BLOG reports that a member of Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Sam Nkire has said Nigeria needs a President who would own up to his own doings, and not trade blames.
In a statement he personally signed in Abuja, the nation’s capital, on Sunday and made available to this newspaper, Chief Nkire advised more presidential aspirants with national appeal, especially from the South East, to come out and declare their intentions with cogent reasons and convincing plans.

“The President Nigeria needs at a difficult time such as this, is someone ready to take responsibility and not blame his or her sponsors or opponents and critics for his or her failure or inaction,” Nkire said.
After a two-term, eight-year tenure, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will expire on May 29, 2023. As it is typical of presidential politics in Nigeria, much of the early noises are about the section of the country that is entitled to produce President Buhari’s successor.
The two major political parties stand an equal chance of winning the coveted presidential prize but until they conduct their national conventions, the part of the country that might produce the next president, and who that person might be, remain matters of speculation.
The next Nigerian elections will be held, in large part, on 18 February 2023 (tentative date).
