A group known as Ndigbo United Peoples Assembly NUPA has called on Nigerians to ensure that an Igbo man emerges the next president of the country.
The national leader of NUPA, Prince Bartho Igwedibia, made the call in Awka, Anambra State capital, while addressing some journalists.
According to him, if the Igbo man becomes the next president, it would help to reduce tension and problems facing the country.
“I am advising Nigerians to make sure that Igbo man is made the president of the country. This will assist to quench most of problems facing the country. 75 percent of Nigerian know that since the end of the war in 1970, no Igbo man has been number one citizen of the country, yet we claim to be united nation ” he said.
According to him, if power shifts to the south east, it would reduce the tension of herders/ farmers clashes , banditry among others.
He said the south south and south west have taken their turns and it is now the turn of the South East to produce the first citizen of the country.
Bartho Igwedibia also said that the South east has credible and well prepared men and women to fix the nation and urged Nigerians to entrust the Igbo man with the position.
He also advised the Igbo elites to mobilise people for on going voters cards registration and revalidation exercise for effective Igbo participation in 2023 general election.
