Obasanjo Is An Igbo Man, S’West Hasn’t Produced President Since 1999 – Adefuye
Lagos – Senator Anthony Adefuye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday said it is the turn of the South-West to produce the President of Nigeria in 2023 as the only region that is yet to do so since the return of democratic governance to the country in 1999.

Speaking in an interview with INDEPENDENT, Adefuye said those clamouring for the Presidency to go to the South-East are wrong as the region produced former President Olusegun Obasanjo who was in power from 1999 to 2007.

According to him, Obasanjo is an Igbo man because his father hailed from Anambra state while his mother is a Yoruba woman.

He added that while in office Obasanjo concentrated most of his efforts towards developing the South-East, including appointing five Ministers as well as the Central Bank Governor from the region while he completely abandoned the South-West.

He said: “I believe that in 2023, the APC will zone the Presidential ticket to the South. When it comes to the South, then it will be narrowed down to the South West because that is the only region that has not produced the President since 1999. It has always been the North and the Igbos.

“Some people may argue that what about Obasanjo? Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man. He is an Igbo man from the South-East. His father is from Anambra while his mother is a Yoruba woman. And that was why during his tenure, he completely ignored the South West. For example, throughout his eight years, he did nothing on the Lagos- Ibadan

But he did a lot for his people in the South-East. He picked five Ministers from there and even appointed the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from Anambra where his father comes from.

“So, it is right for the South-West to demand for the Presidency in 2023. What we should be doing now is working towards 2023 to ensure that the Presidency comes to the Southwest. The Southwest has never produced the President before,” he said.

One bad turn deserves another 10 more.

When Did South West become equivalent with Yorubas, as stupid and as insensitive as the post could be, Igbo Westerners can be the president and it means nothing, Obasanjo had used the Western slot

�� this person seems to be on crack crack's biscuit

No be lie. Even Bihari is from ogun state and late yaradua was from rivers state while gej is from sokoto. Gej built almajiri schools for his people in the north while he abandoned the whole south south zone.
Nansense and ingredients

I remember when Ipob were the ones championing this narrative.



This life eh.

Politics is actually a very funny game.
What's this one again?

Obasanjo, Igbo man? Strange.

We need to strip the Presidency of major powers & devolve same to the states or regions.
The president should be more of a figure head. That way, all these clamour for where the president will almost die naturally.

Igbo has produced 2 president's since 1999 to 2015.

Obasanjo an igbo man
Jonathan an igbo man.

Igbo should leave Yoruba alone don't be greed.

Igbo should leave Yoruba alone don't be greed.

Tinubu's mother also cheated with an Igbo man, don't forget he is also an Igbo man
