BREAKING NEWS :No Vacancy For Igbo Presidency,
Wait Till 2023 – South-East
Leaders speaks Up
The South-East Leadership Development
Initiative, SELDI, has faulted the recent call by
former President Olusegun Obasanjo for the
Igbos to contest the presidency in 2019.
The group said the North should be allowed to
complete its tenure in 2023.
SELDI’s convener, Mr. Ikechukwu Modebelu,
told Vanguard that Igbo would likely become
the country’s president after the north had
completed its tenure.
He warned that no Igbo man should be
deceived into running for the office as there
was no vacancy in 2019.
He said: “Our region remains one of the major
regions that has not had power. We must get
prepared for the position by building our own
leaders.
“Our region needs industries and that is why
we are talking about the think-home policy.
“We need to also encourage our people to
invest at home to create employment for our
youths, who feel discriminated against in the
country.
“We must assuage the feelings of young
Biafrans that Ndigbo are being treated as if
they are not Nigerians by dousing their
agitation.
“Our elders must have the wisdom of to douse
the agitations of our youths by informing them
that we are still part of this country between
now and 2023 for us to get our people
prepared for the position before we can
meaningfully campaign for the presidency in
2023.”
