The apex Igbo socio-political
organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has reacted to reports claiming that National
Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu will run for the
office of the president in 2023.
Ohanaeze’s Deputy Spokesperson,
Chuks Ibegbu, in an interview with Dailypost, said Tinubu should not
run for presidency on the basis of morality.
Just last week, former Aviation
Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode had commended the APC National Leader for “aspiring”
to be president in 2023.
Fani-Kayode had tweeted: “I am
not in Bola Tinubu’s party but I commend him for having the courage to aspire
to be President in 2023.
“How many southern politicians
from either APC or PDP have had the guts to do that? If nothing else he has
challenged the myth that the north owns Nigeria.”
However, Ibegbu alleged that most
people in the South East are not comfortable with the former Lagos State Governor;
hence he should not run for president.
According to Ibegbu: “Every
Nigerian has the right to contest for any position but we are talking about
morality now, Tinubu has the right, I Chuks Ibegbu has the right to be
president of this country but we are talking about morality, justice, fairness
and equity.
“Tinubu has the right to come out
to be president but by right, equity and fairness he should not come out, he
has no reason to come out morally.
“In the South West, many are not
comfortable with him so he should not come out.”
