Pan-Igbo socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo (Worldwide) has expressed optimism on the South East’s prospect of producing Nigeria’s president by 2023.
The group’s President-General, Prof George Obiozor, stated this at a press conference in Abuja.
“Our differences and divergent views will not rob us of the Presidency in 2023,” Obiozor said while responding to questions on how the South East will speak with one voice to avoid ahead of the election.
“Politics is a matter of choice. For the Igbos, having different opinions should not be a concern.
“For your information, no section of the polity has just one opinion, Igbos have different opinions and the opinions converge on the Presidency for South East in 2023,” he declared.
According to him, divergent opinions on issues relating to politics are the hallmarks of any democracy, adding that there had never been a time when politicians held single views.
