Get ready for Igbo presidency in 2023 – Ohaeneze

-Ohanaeze group calls for an end to marginalization against South East.

-The group also advocated the region must produce Nigeria’s president in 2023.

Ohanaeze vows to seek justice for the people of the south east through all legal means. 

The Ohanaeze socio-cultural group has called for an Igbo presidency in 2023 as a way of ending various agitations in the South East region.

They also called for an end to the high level of injustice and marginalisation against the South East.

The group made the call in a communique issued by Augustine Amaechi in Minna, Niger State, yesterday, after a one-day meeting of the group.

“Nigerians should support Igbo presidency in 2023, as the only way to douse growing tension in the South East.”

“Virtually every Nigerian agrees that there is injustice in the country, especially against the South East, but what every Nigerian has not agreed is what to do to address the injustice.

“Some have called for restructuring, some for devolution of power, all these still boil down to restructuring and the reason for this is that one region has not been recognised as belonging to Nigeria.”

“We want every Nigerian to be happy, I want to say that injustice to a Nigerian is injustice to all irrespective of tribe or creed. It does not matter where the person comes from, once a Nigerian suffers injustice, it should be a concern to all.”

“This meeting will help us advise one another on a better understanding of the host community culture and give due respect to the community that has accommodated us. Igbo in the North are wealthy. As a result of the conducive environment we enjoy, we have prospered and we are bound to appreciate some of their cultures.”

“We are here to deliberate on issues as it concerns Ndigbo particularly and to point out areas where we feel the state has not treated us well.

“I want to tell you here that our national head quarters has spoken in favour of restructuring and we are bound to follow the fact that this country should be restructured.”

He said they would work to secure the unity of the country but the region must produce the country’s president in 2023‎.

“We want to produce the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria and not Biafra and this reminds everybody that we are not talking of Biafra this time,” he said.

“At the end of this meeting, I can assure you of ‎the Igbo presidency in 2023,” he said.
