An Igbo Man Becoming President ‘Might’ Not Make Any Difference, They Are Not Interested In The Elections – Sowore


 Presidential aspirant and Rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said that zoning the 2023 Presidency to Southeast won’t make any difference if given to the wrong person.

Speaking during a Tuesday morning program on Arise TV, Sowore said the Presidency should rather go to the geographical area known for competence and great character.

He described the call for the zoning of the Presidency to the southeast as “Undemocratic” stressing that some people from the region are more interested in their own personal gains.

He said, “An Igbo man becoming the president will not make a difference if he’s not the right person to lead. Each time there is an election cycle, the political elites in Nigeria who make this decision, which is undemocratic, will throw a bone at the Nigerian people. And their singsong this time around is that they want an Igbo to become the president. It’s not a decision that was taken with consent and the affirmation of the Nigerian people.

“If you go to Igboland today, they are not even interested in the elections. How do you tell IPOB members that it’s their turn to be president when they are agitating for a referendum and self-determination. Nobody went to the Yorubas to say who they wanted. Nobody went to Nigerians

“All Nigerians are entitled to good governance and progress. An Igbo man becoming the president will not make a difference if he’s not the right person to lead. We should zone the presidency to the geographical area or intellectual area known as competence and great character.


“It’s a very divisive strategy to make people believe that if you bring an Igbo president, suddenly Nigeria will become El-Dorado.”
