In view of spirit of Zoning

(1) Turn of the South From 1999 The President came from (SOUTH) South west ( Yoruba)

(2) Turn of the North From 2007 President Came from the North.(Hausa/Fulani)
Due to death under special Circumstances the VP continued

(3) Turn of the South From 2011 The President came from South South ( Ikwere/IJaw/Ogoni )

(4) Turn of the North From 2015 the president is from the North ( Hausa/Fulani

(5) Turn of the South From 2023 the president _____should be South East (Igbo)

From the above it is very clear that Igbo tribes have not became the president of Nigeria in this modern Democracy

The ordinary man on the street have the mindset that Igbo’s are being treated unfair in their own country by other tribes due to number.

For Nigeria to witness true peace and unity it must be practical among the 6 geo political zones.

Nigeria Political office seekers must first consider the peace and Unity of the Nation than their own personal interest to be either the President or Governor.

Mazi Okoronkwo concluded in this document by saying “the above is my findings after much research on way forward for stronger United people”
“Next Nigeria President must come from South East (Igbo Tribe) in 2023”

While still maintaining that if major Political parties zone their presidential candidate to South East State, it will save the country from unnecessary hardship and pains and it will automatically attract peace and Unity.
