Christian leaders slam Atiku over comments on South-East presidency

The thorny issue of zoning arrangement has elicited a reaction from Christian leaders who reiterated the importance of having a Nigerian President of South-East origin.

Making an allusion to a comment attributed to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, the clerics berated him for the “humiliating” comment about the emergence of a South-East Presidency.

The National Christian Elders Forum, NCEF, made this call via a statement issued on Wednesday, and signed by Secretary, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel.
