Ned Nwoko
By M. Peter – Jos.
As a cross section of Nigerians believe power should move South in 2023, a political pressure group under the aegis of Coalition of Ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria, CENN has thrown its weight in support of the call on billionaire polygamist Prince Ned Nwoko contest for the presidential seat.
The group which said its members are in support of equity, unity and oneness maintained that Nwoko is a visionary and patriotic leader who is unpretentious about his love for the country and continent.
Speaking in Jos at the weekend, leader of the group, Mr. Prince Miaphen noted that based on Nwoko’s record of patriotism, it will not be out of place to support him to lead the country in the next general election.

Miaphen said, “Prince Ned Nwoko is a lawyer par excellence, politician with great finesse and an altruistic humanitarian who has championed several sterling causes of global reckoning. He is highly industrious, visionary and very generous, well known for his patriotic and philanthropic instincts and a notable Pan- Africanist who is unpretentious about his love for his country and continent.”
“In 2017 and 2019, Prince Ned Nwoko boldly succeeded in securing the Paris club refund for his country, Nigeria.
The refund was a relief hugely beneficial to the three tiers of government particularly for the payment of workers, salaries, provision of welfare and some critical social infrastructure.”
Ned Nwoko was a member of the Federal House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 representing Aniocha North-South and Oshimili North- South.

He stressed that the life line came at a time when the nation was on the throes of recession and severe economic downturn pointing out that it helped the country’s governments to regain their fiscal balance as the huge amount of the Paris club fund came in tranches of billions of dollars and added the former federal lawmaker is currently holding discussion on the first Sport University in Africa and this will open the gates for Africa to rise and take her pride of place as a formidable giant in global sporting affairs.
“For all his selfless efforts for a healthier and economically stronger Nigeria and Africa, it will not be out of place to vest our unflinching support on Prince Ned Nwoko for the Presidency of Nigeria come 2023,” he concluded.
