The President made the announcement at the Presidential Palace in front of news media:
Nerita Apostolou
I, Zoltar Petros, announce that Nerita Apostolou will be my successor to the presidency. She is one of the smartest, bravest, and the greatest presidential candidates currently available.
She has served me faithfully as my secretary, consulting me in all matters of state and helping me run the state. She deserves this post and anyone who states otherwise is not acting in the good faith of the nation and would rather work for there own interests.
Her announcement as successor has not been met without resistance however. Turtle Bay Senator Talia Alexopoulou has condemned Zoltar Petros and Nerita Apostolou as “expanding there corrupt influence into the presidential system and beyond”. Talia Alexopoulou has been a fervent critic of Zoltar Petros ever since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs decision to recognize Fortland as an independent country and sign a mutual defense treaty as well calling it a “overreaching and expansionist idea”. She’s also called the current administration-“Filthy dirty good for nothing politician elitist pieces of shit who deserve to be thrown out to sea”.
