In readiness to actualize the dream of an Igbo Presidency in Nigeria, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council, has mandated its President, Professor George Obiozor, to commence consultation with other ethnic groups in Nigeria, in order to actualize Nigeria president of Igbo extraction in 2023.
The mandate was contained in a communique it issued to newsmen after their meeting at the Government House in Owerri.
The group said 2023 would be the turn of the Igbo to occupy the plum position of the presidency. It warned some Igbo politicians to desist from speaking against zoning.
On the 2023 Nigeria Presidency of Igbo extraction, the group said; “The elders’ council mandated the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide to work with Igbo socio-political intelligensia to pursue the task of ensuring that Ala Igbo takes the turn in producing the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.
“The elders’ council frowned at the sudden rhetoric from partisan leaders in Igboland that zoning should be de-emphasised. Insisting that even that will be, it will be after Igbo have taken their turn.”
“The council mandated the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to also work in consultation with other ethnic groups in pursuant to this objective. We urge every Igbo man with the needed capacity to show interest in the 2023 presidency.”
On the rising security challenges, the group said: “The council mandated Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership to work in consultation with the State governments in Ala Igbo, to reduce the vulnerability of those residing outside Igboland to the current abysmal state of affairs.
“The council agreed that Ala Igbo needs a security outfit to begin to address the things that are peculiar to the culture, religion, tradition of Ala Igbo.”
