The Pan Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo said an Igbo presidency remains the most unifying action to be taken by Nigerians.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, Ohanaeze said Southeast remains an integral part of Nigeria, and in other to address all manner of ill feelings like perceived marginalisation and Biafra agitation, Nigerians irrespective of tribe and religion know that for unity, justice, fairness and equity to reign, Igbo should be supported to take a shot at the presidency in 2023.
The group said it would inaugurate a new 2023 National Committee on Igbo presidency project, with a clear mandate to reach out to all the youth leaders, opinion leaders, respected statesmen, Traditional Rulers, religious leaders, women leaders and students in all the zones.
“So, what is happening now is a dilemma of either to reintegrate the Igbo after over 50 years after the civil war or not to reintegrate them. So, if the Igbo are reintegrated, that is the presidency we are talking about, but if they are not reintegrated, you are giving vent to the agitation by restive youths; it will intensify and some of us will not have any basis to plead with them. The insecurity will increase.
“If Nigerians conspire not to reintegrate the Igbo, it will give credence to the agitation by Indigenous Peoples Biafra, IPOB, Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB and others, and it will be difficult for us to do anything about it”.
The insecurity will increase, you will see what is happening in the South-East will affect other parts of the Country. The relationship between Igbo and other ethnic groups will be severed; the Igbo everywhere will be uncomfortable.”
Also, Ohanaeze stated that it would lobby stakeholders in the two major political parties, through strong persuasion to break new barriers and build bridges across the Six Geo political Zones. It added that it would appeal to the conscience of the political actors to concede 2023 presidential tickets to Igbo-speaking states, Rivers and Delta states inclusive.
