Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo has declares his preference for an Igbo Presidency in 2023 general election.
Obasanjo, who spoke when he hosted a 2023 Presidential aspirant, Chief Mao Ohuabunwa at his country home in Abeokuta, Ogun Staate, said that the time has come to bring total reconciliation to Nigeria by supporting a president of Southeast extraction to emerge in 2023.
The former president said that there are a lot of things that South-easterners can bring on the table, saying: “beyond bringing unity to Nigeria or being the cement that holds the country together, I believe that Southeasterners can model hard work and entrepreneurship. That will help in wealth creation and fight against poverty, which is ravaging Nigeria.”
He told Ohuabunwa that running for the office of the president of Nigeria is a tough job and that he is looking forward to the final realization of his vision to see Nigeria fully united.
Ohuabunwa, in response, commended Obasanjo for showing the highest level of not only detribalization also fairness and equity as he didn’t discriminate during his time in power.
