The President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, George Obiozor has said that it is the turn of the South-East to produce Nigeria’s president come 2023.
He added that Igbos would negotiate with other regions to support the Igbo presidency in 2023.
Obiozor made the declaration while appearing on Arise Television.
Obiozor said, “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.
“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.”
