Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has declares support for an Igbo Presidency in 2023.
Obasanjo, now an elder statesman, made this known while receiving a 2023 Presidential aspirant, Chief Mao Ohuabunwa on Thursday in Abeokuta.
Obasanjo maintained 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 he also believes that there are a lot of things that South-easterners can bring on the table.
“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 said.
He told Ohuabunwa that running for the office of the president of Nigeria was a tough job and stated that he was looking forward to the final realisation of his vision to see Nigeria fully united.
Ohuabunwa, in response, hailed OBJ as a president who showed the highest level of not only detribalization but also fairness and equity as he didn’t discriminate during his time in power.
Game already lost, believe this man at your own peril. He cannot even win in his own ward. The hypocrite had the opportunity severally to put his notion and believe to practice after his tenure. He did not and now sermon of the grave. Anyway, biafraud people are also cloaked in nature of DECEIT. Both gamed.
I believe biafra is only option this time around because the way I saw things going in APC and PDP I saw bad Egg inside no hope for igbo, southeast, But you can try your best if you can win this.
God bless my able president Obj for keeping faith with south east region. Truth is always bitter to say but someone who has the fear of God must always say the truth no matter what it takes. Thanks sir happy birthday to you.
