Again, the people of the South East region have clamoured for a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2023, even as they insisted on restructuring
Chancellor of the Nigeria Presidential Project , Walter Oji, told Igbo people during its inauguration in Enugu at the weekend that it would integrate the South East region into Nigeria’s political power equation with particular regard to the office of the President.
He explained that the clamour for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction was not in any way in conflict with the nation’s restructuring, stressing that while restructuring of Nigeria was encouraged, the South East should claim its right for the presidency. Oji argued that Nigeria’s power rotation had been “a North-South and South-North arrangement” with the office of president rotating majorly between the two divides.
“It is trite that the South West geopolitical zone produced former President Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007, while the South-South region produced former President Goodluck Jonathan from 2009 to 2015.
