“Igbos should not spend time fighting themselves but rather forge a common front for their future in Nigeria.”
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State says there was a “deliberate attempt” by some unnamed persons to deny Igbo-speaking people of the South-east an opportunity to produce a Nigerian president in 2023.
“Igbos should not spend time fighting themselves but rather forge a common front for their future in Nigeria. He equally lauded the governor for congratulating the Abia State Governor-elect, Alex Otti, on his victory as well as for urging other candidates not to “distract him with court litigations.”Before the 2023 presidential election, there had been calls from South-east leaders that the region should be allowed to produce a Nigerian president for the first time in 2023.
But the former governor later lost in the 25 February presidential election, after coming third in the exercise with a total of 6,101,533 votes. Meanwhile, Mr Ikpeazu was a member of G-5, a group of five aggrieved PDP governors, opposed to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku, and its then national leadership.
