Road To Igbo Presidency By Dr Alex Ekwueme by Nobody: 1:27pm On Jun 04, 2013
Former Vice-President of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme, has predicted the Igbo would produce the presidency ofNigeria as he gives recipe for political players in the zone on how to achievethe feat.
Ekwueme said politicians from the entire South-East zone should start engaging in robust talks with their counterparts from other zones of the federation, as, according to him, doing so would offer them the bulwark of support which he stressed the south-east required to get the presidential slot.
The one time presidential aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on the basis of justice, equity and fair play, Igbo deserved to be accorded the right to rule Nigeria if only to shake off the marginalisation of the zone in the scheme of politics at the centre.
He spoke exclusively with the Nigerian Tribune in his private residence in Enugu, just as he said President Goodluck Jonathan had theright to contest the 2015 presidential election.
He said Nigerians need not goad President Jonathan into declaring interest in re-contesting his seat in 2015, noting that the president could decide for himself on the issue.
Ekwueme, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, however, said he was distraught with the crises in PDP which he had helped co-founded, justas he berated the leadership of the party for not consulting adequately on what to do to end the crises.
He specifically expressed disappointment with the inability of the PDP national headquarters to convene a meeting of the 50-man Advisory Elders Council which the National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, inaugurated after he was elected to lead the party early in 2012.
He said he and many more members of the committee would have loved tooffer a helping hand in surmounting the crises within the PDP if the top echelon had reached out to them.
