First Republic Aviation Minister,
Chief Mbazuluike Amaechi, has assured that the Igbo will get their turn to lead
Nigeria.
He said this in reaction to
politics ahead of the 2019 election as well the clamour for Igbo presidency.
Amaechi also admitted that
President Buhari has the constitutional right to go for a second term.
The elder statesman further
agreed that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) should field a northern
candidate next year.
In a chat with Sun, Amaechi
appealed to the South-East region to excercise patience, adding that there will
come a time all leading political parties in Nigeria will present Igbo presidential
candidates.
He backed his point with zoning
of the presidency to the North during the return of democracy.
“This (patience) is the realistic
thing to do. The Igbo should be patient.
“It may come a time like it
happened in 1999, when the Southwest presented presidential candidates of the
two political parties, and head or tail, they won”, he said.
