…Says Its Igbo’s Turn to Rule in 2023

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, George Obiozor, has stated that an Igbo presidency is the main agenda of the group as 2023 draws closer.

Obiozor disclosed this on Monday when he appeared on Arise TV programme.

According to him, it is time the wheel of power goes the way of the Igbo adding that it has never been more timely.

He stated that the group is ready to negotiate with other regions to ensure the agenda comes to fruition.

“We support Igbo president with open arms. It is the most important thing that will happen to Igbos. Finally, it is our turn. And we are going to work it so hard,” Obiozor said

“We will talk to other parts of Nigeria to give us a chance. Because it is right, reasonable, deserving and timely. It is wonderful to consider it done by this time. Igbo presidency is our agenda.”

Obiozor disclosed that it is not all members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) that are seeking to secede from Nigeria as some of them just want to bring attention to the marginalisation and deprivation of the Igbo people.

“Who told you all the people in IPOB want secession? They want justice. Just like the rest of Igbos”, Obiozor said.

“They want the country’s attention to the relative deprivation that Igbos are facing; to the glass ceilings that prevent Igbos from certain goals within their own country. That’s what IPOB and Biafra people are talking about.”
