The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has
cautioned the Southeast against the campaign for Igbo presidency.
Nwajiuba said there was no time in the history of Nigeria
that the presidency was ceded to a particular ethnic group based on tribe,
hence the Southeast should be careful over the term Igbo presidency.
Nwajiuba said: “Anybody talking about Igbo presidency should
be careful because there was never a time we heard about Hausa presidency. When
the Yoruba were contesting, we did not hear of Yoruba presidency, why is our
own different?
“There is no time people involved in politics will cede a
position to anybody.
“Anyday you bring out an aspirant that is acceptable to
other Nigerians, that is the day you indeed want the position of president in
Nigeria. All you need is majority. Buhari won the APC primaries with 3,886
votes.
“So there was never a time it was ceded to Buhari. The
people that voted for Buhari outnumbered others in that primaries.
”Even if the Igbo cry from now till thy kingdom come, if
they don’t bring out a person that is acceptable to other Nigerians, nothing
happens.”
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has been in the forefront to ensure the
emergence of an Igbo presidency in 2023.
The Deputy spokesperson of Ohanaeze Ndigbo had recently
insisted that it was the turn of the Southeast to produce Nigeria’s next
president.
