Segun Showunmi, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has explained why Nigeria’s North-Central geopolitical zone has yet to produce a president.

Speaking at a political event in Makurdi, Benue State, on Thursday, Showunmi said the region had been held back by divisions among its leaders.

He said the North-Central has many qualified and capable leaders, but they have not united around a common demand for the presidency.

By contrast, he noted, the North-West, South-West and South-South have produced presidents because their leaders united and spoke with one voice.

"North-Central has not produced president because of disunity. Our leaders are not united. That is why we have been left behind," Showunmi said.

He called on the people of the North-Central to come together and speak with one voice to enable the zone produce a president in the near future.
