Following agitations for southern Presidency, the Coalition of Civil Society for Good Governance has called on politicians to allow the South to produce President in 2023, as it will right many wrongs and “end every anomaly on leadership.”

Okpanachi reportedly stated that, “There was a gentleman agreement that had been reached for the South to produce the President in 2023.”
He added that, “Gentlemen of the press, we use this medium to appeal to Nigerians on the need for power rotation to Southern Nigeria in line with the spirit of nationalism and a call for unity, as exemplified in our leadership pattern in the previous processes of our democratic journey so far.”
He made it known that, “Our project remains a civil society intervention programme that seeks to help reorganize electioneering by providing an interface between critical stakeholders with the view to generating discourses and activities that will enhance citizen’s participation in the leadership recruitment process 2023 general election; by creating a critical mass.”
He noted that, “There is insecurity, socio-economic and political instability witnessed currently in Nigeria; it is imperative that we create a fulcrum for ending every anomaly in leadership by inter alia engaging in the leadership recruitment process but first a template for success must be laid which includes this campaign.
