According to the group, it is in the spirit of equity, justice peace, tranquility, and brotherhood that the call for a president from the southern part of the country is being made.
The young people called on political parties in the country to zone their presidential ticket to the southern part of the country in the 2023 general election.
They were of the opinion that in doing this, peace, unity, stability, progress, and prosperity of the nation would be guaranteed.
The UNNYF described the CBN Governor, Emefiele, as the right choice to replace President Buhari in 2023 owing to the fact that his track records, competence, integrity, and wealth of experience in managing the economy remains evident.
