The quest to realise the president of Igbo extraction for the country in 2023 may have started in earnest as sons and daughters of the ethnic group gather today in Enugu to inaugurate a pressure group, “Southeast for President 2023 Movement.”
The movement, it was further gathered, would ensure that “every political party, especially the two major political parties, and or any third force will cede their presidential candidates to the southeast zone. The event is to be chaired by former Nigerian Ambassador to Japan, Dr. Grant Ehiobuche, with various Igbo groups and organisations expected.
He added: “We felt that it is important that we start now before Buhari’s inauguration for a second term so that everybody will hear us and know it is justifiable and in fairness come 2023, southeast should be allowed to produce the president of the country.”
