Atiku’s six-year plan won’t affect Igbo presidency in 2023 – ex Rep

A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former member of the House of Representatives, Greg Egu, has described as unfounded and baseless report that there is anxiety in the Southeast over the six year action plan of the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said the plan would, in no way truncate Igbos’ 2023 presidential aspiration.

Egu in a statement in Owerri said that the Igbo are not worried about Atiku’s plan but are concerned with enthroning a leadership that would restore their pride of place in Nigeria.

Reacting to fears that Atiku’s plan amounted to tenure elongation, Egu said, “Nothing can be more fallacious than this. In the first place, the issue of whether Atiku Abubakar will stay beyond 2023 is not the immediate concern of the people of the zone. Their focus at the moment is the emergence of Atiku as the next President of Nigeria come May 29, in fulfillment of their quest for a leadership that will fully restore their pride of place in Nigeria’s corporate landscape.
