Notable leaders of Ndigbo, both apolitical and of different political divides, have in unisim demanded that the South-East should be given unfettered opportunity to produce the next President of Nigeria through the 2023 general election.
They made the demand in a world press conference under the umbrella of the Ahamefuna socio-cultural organisation hosted by former Governor of Enugu State, Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo in Enugu, on Thursday.
The theme of the press conference was “The need for Nigeria Presidency from South-East Nigeria come 2023,” where Igbo leaders present included: HRH Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, Prof. Anya O. Anya, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu, Senator Ben Obi, Prof. ABC Nwosu, Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, Chief Achike Udenwa, Prof Uche Azikwe, Senator Azu Agboti, Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, Mrs Beatrice Ekwueme, HRH Igwe Julius Nnaji, Prof Elochukwu Amucheazi, Dr Joe Nworgu, Chief Dubem Onyia, Rev Fr. Nnamdi Nwankwo, Prof Cyprian Onyenji, Prof Innocent Okwonkwo, among many other Igbo leaders.
Speaking as Chairman of the press Conference, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu said that the Igbo was currently facing one of their greatest challenges and traced the history of the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria, where he noted that the Igbo played a pivotal role in shaping the country.
He said that it was only in Nigeria that Champions and Independence protagonists were not allowed to rule the country, citing the late Dr Nnamadi Azikwe as a typical Igbo and Pan-Nigerian who unfortunately was not allowed to lead the country even after being the vanguard for Nigeria Independence.
“All through history, we have been demanding for what truly belongs to us. What else could be injustice, where then lies equity, justice, fairness when there was agreement that power should rotate between northern and Southern Nigeria?
“Now that it is the turn of the Igbo people have started shifting grounds. We want a field where everybody could play. Nigerians should please be honest for at least once,” Iwuanyawu pleaded.
Delivering the text of the press conference, Senator Ben Obi said that it was only the southeast, in the three zones of Southern Nigeria that have not yet had a chance to produce a Nigerian President.
Obi stated that the Igbo believed that in the spirit of Justice, equity, fairness and inclusiveness, the south-east should be given a chance and supported by all fair-minded and patriotic Nigerians, to produce Nigeria’s president in 2023.
Obi said the Igbo have taken the campaign to major political and cultural leaders of other ethnic nationalities in the country, where many of them spoke out publicly in support of the southeast quest for the presidency in 2023.
“Our response to detractors is clear. In this, we demand to be treated fairly and given a chance to participate as a full member of the Nigerian project,” Obi said.

Nigeria is a zoo, Tinubu is a self pooing braind**d f**ktard who happens to be a nitwit, and Igbos will rule it one day. Now you have one option, dip your mouth into Tinubu diapers and lick his disgusting poo

Presidency is not given to anybody or group, rather you compete and convince people to vote for you.
President Muhammadu Buhari contested four times (16yrs) before winning the election. He didn’t go about crying like these weak and b1tchy ‘Igbo leaders’.
Unfortunately, hunchback namadi cownu and his brainless Ipob bingos have completely destroyed Igbo political capital and no political party would risk giving their party ticket to any Igbo candidate now.
For Igbo to be president, hunchback cannibal, namadi cownu must kpai first and all his brainless Ipigs/ESN sacrificed as burnt offerings to Amadioha.

Mtscheeew. Inconsequential majority.

Ijaw Republic our home.
Ijaw produces over 90 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil but were unjustly balkanized into more than six Nigerian States when all Ijaw areas are fully together.
Ijaw Republic or nothing else.

May God bless the Ijaw Peoples Liberation Front. (IPLF), of which is the Ijaw version of Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF).

That's the way to go for Nigeria's unity and progress.

They will give it to them on a platter of Gold!! Unserious elements

our problem is how do we campaign to the northerners after calling them Cow, gateman, shoe shiners, bloodsuckers etc to vote for our sidren?



Mazi Simon Ekpa

Not possible

You can't reap where u didn't sow. Igbo leaders supported kanu to cause trouble in nigeria. They can't dare dream of that same Nigerians support

Is Simon Ekpa aspiring for any office in Nigeria? I will not vote for Simon Ekpa also should he come down to contest for any office.
How will Tinubu go to Southsouth to campaign after calling them druken fishermen?

shut up u are not God

The only majority group acting like minority. How dare you threaten us and expect us to comply? You won't get the presidency and there's nothing you can do about it. Any stupid moves you make, Super Tucano is there to correct those mannerless attitudes of y'all.

From my own end, give me TINUBU or PETER OBI .These are two candidates I wish for president in 2023

mighty2:

ok whatever, hypocrisy and deceit is in you guys dna

Even the blind know that it is just fair for the Igbo to be president in 2023.

If we live in a country where things work, I don't think there would be need to make this appeal because we have very competent and experienced Igbos who would overwhelmingly win the presidency and make this country progressive.

But since presidency is about skirmishes, Igbos then request that the skirmishing should also benefit them. That's in order!

Remember Bode George?
Remember he vowed to relocate to Ghana if Tinubu gets elected?.
Count me in.

The thing is though, we ain't stepping an inch.
Tinubu will not smell Aso Rock with his rotten nose.
Know this, and know peace.

Ndigbo, this is your time.
Vamos!
