It should not come to any Nigerian, as a surprise that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is calling the shots as far as the political terrain of Nigeria is concerned now. However, the leader of the APC and the president, Muhammadu Buhari may surprise Nigerians, by becoming the first democratically elected president not to contest for a second term in office. Some of the Igbo sons and daughter below are potential presidential material in case President Buhari decides to anoint someone from the Southeastern part of the country

1. Rochas Okorocha The former presidential aspirant of the defunct All Peoples Party of Nigeria (ANPP) and also the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a president in the making. He is very popular with almost all the Northern political stalwarts. He is presently the governor of Imo state. He has the credentials to make a good president. However, some citizens of Imo state, still believe he has not distributed the dividends of democracy round all the local government areas of the state. Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha, governor of Imo state.www.nairaland.com/attachments/2072012_1095065510333755300117321724643662811336561n_jpeg406a7cb3ba4102a97cf8b0ec1d7a976f

2. Charles Soludo The Anambra state-born professor of Economics is a man with so much knowledge of the economy. He had a war of words, a few months ago, with the former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, over the running of the economy under the past administration. He is currently not conspicuous on the political terrain. Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor and former PDP governorship candidate in Anambra state

3. Oby Ezekwesili The former education minister is a woman, who is more than three men in one. She has not let all the pressure from her critics drown her public opinion, against corrupt practices she abhors. Her passion for the freedom of the Chibok girls kidnapped almost two years ago is second to none. Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education and former vice president of World Bank, one of the major campaigners for the Chibok Bring Back our Girls (BBOG) Group READ ALSO: Truck pushers and the race for survival

4. Ogbonnaya Onu Dr Onu is a gentleman per excellence. He was the first executive governor of Abia state between 1992 and 1993. He has never been at the vanguard of anarchy in Nigeria. He is a well-bred politician, who believes in politics without bitterness. Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Nigeria’s Minister of Science and Technology and former governor of Abia state

5. Chris Ngige Ngige is a lion on the field of politics. He is one of those behind making of the APC to become the major political force in Nigeria’s democracy. He is a former senator from Anambra state. He has the qualities to lead Nigeria. Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment and former governor of Anambra state

6. Osita Chidoka The former Minister of Aviation brought drastic changes to the aviation sector, while he served as minister for a few months. His legacies also spoke for him, when he left the Federal Road Safety Commission as the Corp Commandant and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the FRSC. He brought innovations to the FRSC. Osita Chidoka, former Minister of Aviation and former Commandant of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC)

7. Peter Obi The former banker and former governor is known as a true loyalist in whatever or whoever he believes in. He was part of the Economic Management Team of the Goodluck Jonathan government. He tried curtailing major crimes like kidnapping and armed robbery, while he governed Anambra state. Peter Obi, former Anambra state governor.

Though,these guys chances are slim. If igbos were to sit down and chose,am sure they'll want to put the best of the best forward. Hence,I will go with men like Osita Chidoka. He'll make us proud before the whole nation.
But if we want the kind of candidate that will make the whole nation swear against our ever ruling again,then we'll put Rochas Okorocha forward(aka nwokem,ima onye mbu?)

But personally,I believe that the men of south extraction who will rule Nigeria may not even be among this crop of these ones we see on Tv now.

dream on dreamer....

We Igbos have outgrown the worthless position of president of Nigeria. We should be aiming for something more important.

Uzo Chukwu! Uzo Owuwa anyanwu!

What of Kalu?

Onovo is it for me!

Igbos are not interested in presidency in a fraudulent union. It's a distraction!

this is someone's written version of a night terror

how can igbo eat two foods in Alade village? you bent on actualising IPOB without public denouncement from igbo leaders, and still eyeing 2019 presidency, what do you really want?

An unneccesary distraction from a bigger goal. Who presidency don help? see hausa see almajiri, see yoruba see beggars.
Again who presidency don help? As big as yoruba with more than 50 million people only one yoruba man have ever been president in the last 50 years. That means the chance of a yoruba youth ever becoming president in the next 50 years is 1/50 million and it's even getting slimmer by the day as the East will never vote a yoruba since they've sworn never to vote an Easterner, while the north will always vote northerners as long as an hausa/fulani stands election, so where will yorubas get their votes?

Yet they are shouting "one nigeria" up and down like mad men. Dem go hear wehn! the north must rule for as long as nigeria exist. The East is no longer interested in the presidency of an unworkable zoo.

Remove Okoroawusa name from there biko dat man bu Osu

Ok!.. buh which party will field them?

clearly not APC or PDP (northern ticket stamped)..

is it Hope, Kowa or Apga

What you cant have you pretend not to want. smh

Igbos always living in self denial..

They know they can't compete with others in politics and they rather frame up this Phrase"""""Igbos Don't Need presidency"""

Even if u need, can u battle anybody from south or North when it comes to politics

I don't think the igbos want the presidency. they want biafuru. let's give it to them via a referendum abeg.

unfortunately the people agitating for this biabia lack finesse and decorum. na so so gra gra.

get your senators to lobby their mates to include referendum act in the constitution and you are well on your way.

meanwhile, no igbo person can become the president of Nigeria in the next 500 years.

no be curse, it's just the way it is.
