Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Minister of Works, has said the southeast cannot produce a president in 2023.
Ogunlewe said the inability of the people of the southeast to unite under a common leadership would work against their presidential ambition.
He disclosed this while featuring on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ programme on Wednesday.
The former minister also pointed out that the lack of cohesion among the southeast people would work against them.
