A former presidential adviser has revealed what the Igbo Ethnic Group must do in order to produce the country’s president in 2023.
Mr Tanko Yakasai, in a recent interview on Channels Television, saidbthe Igbos must secure the blessing of other parts of the country, especially the North, in order to rule.
The 94-year-old said: “There is a good opportunity for Igbos to produce the president of Nigeria in the near future or later. The political arrangement in the country is such that you need correlation with some parts of the North and South. The Igbo can make a move of getting partners from other parts of the country, in particular, the North.
“It is not just to complain; meaningful efforts should be made to reach out to get partners so that eventually they will realise their aspirations, and I think they can.”
The Igbo, one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, have never produced a civilian president.
