2023: Give us presidency, Igbos want Biafra – South-South elders
The South-South Elders’ Forum has declared that the 2023 presidency should be ceded to the zone to avert crisis.
Speaking to Vanguard, he claimed that South-East was agitating for Biafra Republic and not the 2023 Presidency. “The South-West has had their complete tenure through President Olusegun Obasanjo, South-South had had one tenure through President Goodluck Jonathan and South-East has not gotten it in the new dispensation.
“And considering our role in Nigeria, the current developed Nigeria, we believe that we are the hub carrying Nigeria, the nation should be fair to us by allowing us to complete our second tenure. When we complete our second tenure, we will now believe that Nigeria is with us. “Although the three regions—South-East, South-South, South-West in the south and Middle Belt in the north believe in restructuring, the South-South is willing to stand by restructuring but that does not mean that we will throw away the presidency. So we are appealing to Nigerians to please do us that small favour of giving us the second term.”
