Igbo President: Why Only Anambra? What About Ebonyi?

If the Southeast is really serious about producing a Nigerian President of Igbo origin, then as a group, they ought to do the equity that they are asking Nigeria to do to them.

Because this micro-zoning to Anambra does not fit with the claim that the Igbos are marginalised. I can agree that the Southeast is not politically and economically at par with other regions. But when you talk about Anambra, the dynamics change.

Anambra is one of the states that has benefited the most from Nigeria's political hegemony. Anambra is not a marginalised state. Anambra is not oppressed. If at all, Anambra is a state that enjoys robust political dominance.

Only six states have arguably tasted more federal power than Anambra, and they include Plateau, Ogun, Niger, Kano, Sokoto, and Bauchi.

As a state, Anambra has had more than its fair share of federal positions. The first President of Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikiwe, was from Onitsha, Anambra. The man who succeeded him as acting President, Nwafor Orizu, was from Nnewi, Anambra. He was also the first Senate President of the First Republic.

The military Head of State of the defunct Republic of Biafra, Colonel Emeka Ojukwu, was also from Nnewi, Anambra.

The first vice President of Nigeria, Chief Alex Ekwueme, was from Oko, Anambra, and the first Nigerian and African head of the Commonwealth of Nations, Chief Emeka Anyaoku.

In this republic, Anambra has produced the most powerful and influential Senate President, Chuba Okadigbo, as well as a Governor of the Central Bank.

When President Shehu Shagari held the National Council of State meetings during his time in office, Anambra used to dominate because they had three members: Nnamdi Azikiwe and Nwafor Orizu, who were both former Presidents, and Alex Ekwueme, who was the incumbent vice President.

The attached photo was taken at a Council of State meeting presided over by President Shagari. Anambra had the most attendance!

You can see two Anambra sons in this photo, compared to one Sokoto indigene (President Shagari) and another citizen from Ogun (General Obasanjo).

Anambra is NOT marginalised.

Peter Obi and his principal backers, like Dr. Chike Obidigbo, have repeatedly argued that power should be rotated to the Southeast. Dr. Chike Obidigbo made this claim again in today's papers, and said rotation favoured Peter Obi.

Peter Obi is from Anambra. Even agreeing, for the sake of argument, that Peter Obi and Dr. Chike Obidigbo are right and rotation favours the Southeast, why must it be from Anambra?

Why not go the whole hog and consider more marginalised and deprived parts of Igboland, derisively called Wawa Igbo? What is wrong with queuing up behind somebody from Ebonyi, for example?

If this is really about equity and fairness, then it should first be done locally before it is done nationally. Except it is just a ruse. Is it?

A sensible person will counter what he said and as usual you guys will attack the massenger like a mad dog. Only in igboland we hear some are OSU and ebonyi's are not real igbos. You guys should go and fix your region before you talk of Nigeria presidency.
