By our reporter| The president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ambassador George Obiozor on Monday said the group is ready to negotiate with other regions and key stakeholders to ensure that Igbo presidency is achieved in 2023.
Obiozor who explained that an Igbo presidency in 2023 is the key agenda of the apex Igbo socio-political organisation, made the comment while speaking on Arise TV programme.
According to the former Ambassador of Nigeria to US and Israel, it is time the wheel of power spins the way of the Igbo, insisting it has never been more timely.
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.”
The Ohanaeze leader further explained that Obiozor not all Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members want a breakway from Nigeria, as some of them just want to bring attention to the marginalisation and deprivation of the Igbo.
“Who told you all the people in IPOB want secession? They want justice. Just like the rest of Igbos.”
“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,” Obiozor noted.
