Nigeria Needs Igbo President In 2023; Ruling Party, APC Must Zone To South-East — Adeyanju Writes Buhari

Adeyanju also said an Igbo presidency will help to repair Nigeria's badly damaged economy owing to the business acumen of the Igbos.

Ahuman rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to zone the 2023 presidency to a candidate from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, whether from the South-East or South-South of the country.

The activist explained that it was ideal a presidential candidate emerges from that part of the country to lay to rest the permanent feeling of disenchantment amongst the Igbos.


In an open letter to the president, obtained by SaharaReporters on Wednesday, Adeyanju added that having a Presidential candidate from the South-East will help to disabuse the mind of the citizens on the anti-Igbo perception people have of Buhari.

Adeyanju also said an Igbo presidency will help to repair Nigeria's badly damaged economy owing to the business acumen of the Igbos adding that it will also help in national healing.

His letter reads, “As a preliminary point, please accept my commendation over your leadership role in the recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries.

“Considering the almost Siamese relationship between political parties and governance in the country, it was a huge relief to note that the two leading political parties successfully conducted their respective conventions and elected national officers without crisis.

“As you may be aware, the Independent National Electoral Commission recently released the timetable for electioneering activities towards the 2023 general elections.

“By the said timetable, all political parties would have picked their presidential candidate not later than 2nd June 2022. Sequel to the above, it is common knowledge that the APC has zoned its presidential candidacy to Southern Nigeria.

“However, I am using this medium to urge you to leverage on your influence in the party towards zoning the office of the president to a candidate from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, whether from the South-East or South-South of the country.

“I am sure that your highly successful template of electing a consensus APC party chairman can be deployed towards electing a consensus APC presidential candidate of Igbo extraction.

“There are numerous reasons why a presidential candidate from that part of the country is most ideal at this time of the nation’s development. Since General Aguiyi Ironsi’s unfortunate demise in 1966, no person of South Eastern extraction has governed Nigeria.

 
“Sadly, this undeniable and systematic exclusion has created a largely subconscious and increasingly permanent feeling of disenchantment amongst the Igbos.

“In a country where tribe and ethnicity continue to play important role in our daily affairs, it is inexcusable that the Igbos have been denied a shot at the highest office in the land for so long.

“Additionally, picking a presidential candidate from the South East will go a long way to disabuse the mind of the citizens on the anti-Igbo perception currently being associated with your name. It can therefore be said that President Buhari did what any of his forebears failed to do. 

“Furthermore, the Igbos are known for their business acumen. An Igbo presidential candidate will be able to repair our badly damaged economy and continue the path of restoration that you have started.

“In addition to the foregoing, our country needs national healing. We cannot heal our fault lines if we continue to deny one region the right to produce a president. Since 1999, the Yorubas have occupied the office of the president and vice president for 15 years.

“They have also been Speaker of the House of Representatives for 8 years. It will, therefore, amount to a great injustice for a Yoruba candidate to succeed you in office and stay for another eight years.

“Indeed, if a Yoruba person were to succeed you in office, that would mean they would have been President for a period even more than the entire northern Nigeria since our return to democratic government.

“I understand that a lot of pressure is being mounted on you, at this time, to pick political convenience over national unity. However, I am optimistic that you will use this opportunity to repair your legacy and retire as a respected elder statesman. Nigeria needs an Igbo president in 2023.”

Not only APC, ask SDP go give you automatic ticket

Sowore and his associate are just oponu dede

Na only apc good to zone to east while Atiku takes PDP ticket abi

APC have already zoned to south there is higher chance it is fairer to east than PDP that have opened contest for atiku and tambuwal

Let PDP give their ticket first to an Igbo man on may 29, then apc can consider following the footstep the next day at their convention

Adeyanju is a patriot

Oh...you think the only thing I know how to do is smoke weed , bang pussy, drink alcohol, gamble and keyboard....you ain't nothing about me son

“At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.”

See dis mugu
Face ur pdp

APC won't agree to do that

Peter Obi is what the East needs

Igbo shoild be given their turn to rule, lets see the different....one Nigeria.. download igbo songs mixtape on naija dj mix .com

Who is this bastard fgs?!

Why are yoruba rodents crying more than the bereaved?

Or is this a ploy to irritate the APC henchmen into more disdain for the Igbo people?

What the actual fvck is going on?

It is good idea. But politics is bigger than that.

Yes na

I swear, Nigeria needs an Igbo man,but they will now bring tribalism to the matter when they know deep down it's an Igbo man we need


Well, Make I mind my business

E go make damn sense shaa

Deji, dis na eye service o! Kontinue

What is Ibo President?

Till when the whole world changes; North, West and South will NEVER vote any Ibo man. No one trust them with power at all level. They are just used as political tool for a means to an end.

He must be high on oshogbo weed and sapele water

Buhari ear dey Pain am.

Any southerner except Tilumbu and OUK has my support

Tell that to PDP first

Must the guy always talk?

am still yet to see a good Igbo leader in that APC.beside no one is voting that useless party come 2023.they failed

But not Rochas or OUK...

I think PDP will be better positioned to offer this. I don't know any strong South Eastern contender in APC. Amaechi is South South.

Igbos should start calling out their leaders, particularly the ones that have pledged or will pledge support to aspirants from other zones, when they clearly have a better candidate from their zone. the beginning of your problem is not a Kunle supporting Tinubu or Adamu supporting Atiku, it is Emeka, Okorocha, Chukwudi shedding their blood to ensure a Tinubu or Atiku presidency.

It's Obi or wike, any other person, forget about it.

Ok

And PDP ?

The Fulani-led Nigerian government will never allow presidency go to the South because it will put a dent in their fulanization agenda.
