According to a statement by the group, the call was made to the serving Senator to address the political marginalisation of North East zone of the country.

The non governmental group chairman, Mohammed Abdulazeez, made this call in Abuja over the weekend.

The group noted that the North Eastern part of Nigeria has been denied the opportunity to produce a President of the country.

“If you will recall the North West has dominated the entire slot of the North in general. This include but not limited to the fact that the North West has produced nearly all the leaders from the entire North.

“From late Gen Murtala Muhammad, President Gen Gen , to President and the current President ,

“In view of the aforementioned scenario, it is crystal clear that North East has been sidelined in the affair of our great country," the group stated.

In conclusion, the group said: "We therefore appeal to former Governor Danjuma Goje, being the most consistent and political leader of people of North East to organise all North East politicians’ submit in order to address this issue. North East deserves to produce the next President or Vice President of this country.”

Senator Goje currently represents Gombe-Central senatorial district at the upper legislative chambers.
