The Chancellor, Nigeria Presidential Project 2023, Walter Obiora-Oji, on Sunday, urged the President, Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to forget restructuring and creation of additional state in the zone, but ensure the objective of the Igbo to produce the nation’s president come 2023, was achieved.
This is even he observed that those currently clamouring for the restructuring of the country were doing do for their selfish interests, saying anyone talking about restructuring was “merely trying to change the narrative from zoning to restructuring.”
Obiora-Oji stated this during the inauguration of the Ebonyi State chapter of the group in Abakaliki, pointing out that it was imperative for major political parties to zone their respective National Chairmen to the North in their forthcoming conventions, to actualise the dream.
According to him, the only way Buhari will prove that he genuinely loves the Igbo is to hand over to one of their sons or daughters, saying it was the height of marginalisation that other zones had produced the nation’s President since 1999, while the South-East zone remained sidelined.
