The President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Prof George Obiozor has actually exposed what Igbo Presidency in 2023 will achieve.

Obiozor stated President of the Southeast extraction will make sure political balance and a sense of coming from the area.

He spoke the other day on Channels Politics Today.

Nigeria, he included, should develop a political balance that accommodates all the regions.

Obiozor pointed that it is only the Southeast that has actually not had a shot at the presidency because the return of democracy in 1999.

Speaking on Channels Politics Today, he stated the Southeast has actually certified candidates who can carry out if elected.

The previous Ambassador to the United States said history, the principle of fairness, morality and “all rational reasoning” justify the demand for an Igbo president.

He was of the view that the Southeast was being accorded little or no significance in the sharing solutions and is normally placed last in all zonal allocations.

Obiozor also made a case for state authorities, saying it was the best method to fix the country’s security difficulties.

He attracted President Muhammadu Buhari to utilize the prerogative of mercy and not force to fix pending issues versus the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

On Igbo President, the Ohanaeze President-General stated: “It is necessary at this time in the history of Nigeria for each region to be offered a sense of belonging for peace to rule.

“We in Igboland are all set to give you candidates that are confident, with the capability to carry out.

“We ask the nation to produce a political balance that consists of not simply the South and North but the Eastern area of Nigeria.”

According to Obiozor, every zone has actually produced a president; for that reason, the prospect of Igboland being denied once again will not be accepted.

On the role of his organisation in producing a prospect, he stated: “Ohanaeze will not be biased while picking prospects. The country is slowly declining from nationalism.

“We need somebody to re-energise the nationalist spirit in Nigeria and the Igboland will produce one.

“Man proposes and God gets rid of but by all rational thinking and evaluating by history, it is high time Southeast produces the next president.

“By history, logic, morality and politics, it is reasonable for the Igbos to produce the next president.

“We can’t be exposing our strategies in the public area. We have our strategies and we are joined enough to produce the president of Nigeria.

“Our prospects will emerge from their parties, but any person that emerges will do that nationalistically and we require someone from the Igbo land to do that.

“However, I can’t predict the Igbo president, however from all we can see, an Igbo should be the next president. It is our time to produce the next president.”

On Kanu, Obiozor stated it would not be the very first time such a similar case would be solved politically.

“We have made our position known that we prefer political service through dialogue. This is the response to the concern. The Igbos are not in a war with Nigeria.

“Mr. President has the prerogative of grace to manage this matter. And we have made this declaration numerous times.

“It is public knowledge that similar treatment has been provided to others in other parts of the nation.

“It is particular that, if the President can do this, it will splash the stress in the Southeast and the nation at big.

“But, if the President does refrain from doing this, he can deal with the matter in any other way besides utilizing force.

“And as good residents of Nigeria, we will love to fulfill the President again and once again on this matter,” Obiozor stated.

He believes the security challenge in the Southeast was politically motivated, adding that the area utilized to be the most tranquil.

He stated: “Southeast was the most serene region up until the political season sneaked in.”

The Ohanaeze helmsman again required state police, saying the present centralised policing system was insufficient.

According to him, the Nigerian security difficulty has actually been settled by the 2014 National Conference that advised state authorities.

“We will not fix this obstacle up until we do this (have state authorities).

“It is not a luxury however a need that need to be done and the earlier we do it, the much better for us as a nation,” Obiozor added.
