The Senate Minority Leader,
Eyinnaya Abaribe, has insisted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, would
not allow the Southeast to produce its 2023 presidential candidate.
Abaribe said only his party, the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, can produce an Igbo President in 2023.
In an interview on Channels
Television, the PDP chieftain said the APC was not set up to manage Nigeria
properly.
Commenting on the possibility of
an Igbo President in 2023, Abaribe said, “The man who the shoe pinches know
where it hurts. The Igbos are the people in Nigeria who make conscious efforts
of setting anywhere else without hurting their host.
“At any point, you have never
heard that they kill and maim their host so they know how to aggregate
everybody’s feelings, their customs, their laws, their norms, everything. And
so, because of that, we feel that the Igbo will understand you, will even have
the time for you.
“Today, we don’t feel that this
government has the time for anybody.
“You will see a tremendous change
starting with the fact that he will be able to or she will be able to manage
our diversity.
“We think that the party called
APC is not set up to manage Nigeria properly and so it has to be our own party
(PDP) that has been able to carry everybody along. And those of us Igbo within
our party knowing that we have to play politics, talk to people, you have to be
able to see your own point of view and buy into your vision are doing the
consultations now.”
