2023 Presidency: Back South East, Group Urges Tinubu, Others

...Says Senator Orji Kalu capable

A pressure group, the Coalition Of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, has called on the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to support the call for South East to produce the President of Nigeria in 2023.

The group, in a statement forwarded to Igbere TV, also enjoined Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state, to jettison his rumoured plan to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari and support the emergence of a president of Igbo extraction.

COSEYL said everything short of electing an Igbo as president in 2023 would be regarded as a rejection and asking the Igbo to leave the country.

President General of the group, Goodluck Ibem, said COSEYL was ready to mobilize Ndigbo at home and in the diaspora, towards the realization of the dream which he said, was long overdue.

He said the Igbo nation, had, in the past, supported candidates from other zones to become heads of the Nigerian government, and produced leaders that helped to build the country.

The group stressed that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, a former governor of Abia State and Senate Chief Whip, was capable of leading the country and should be supported to emerge president in 2023.

It also listed other prominent Southeast sons like Peter Obi, former Senate president, Ken Nnamani, former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Charles Soludo, among others.


Meanwhile, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of Aviation, has backed the call for president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

He said doing that would help make up for the wrongs meted to Ndigbo in the past.

Fani-Kayode restated his position while responding to questions from newsmen at the premises of Anambra State Governor’s Lodge in Onitsha when he returned from a tour of some project sites with Governor Willie Obiano.

“I know that where I come from, there is a very large body of opinion now that is pushing for that. Ayo Adebanjo, who is the deputy leader of Afenifere, who speaks for us, made that position clear that as far as he he is concerned, the next president should come from the South East. And he spoke for us,” Fani-Kayode said.

The former minister, who insisted that the Igbo deserve a shot at the presidency, however, urged the leaders and people of the South East to work hard for it.

Funny how people will suggest a chronic looter as Uzor Kalu to govern Nigeria

#No to Kalu
#No to Tinubu

Simplyleo:
Yes, I support the group, Tinubu should back SE when it is time.

But this is Tinubu's well taught out roster for now;

2023 - 2031 ~ SW
2031 - 2039 ~ North
2039 - 2047 ~ SS
2047 - 2055 ~ North
2055, Tinubu's grandchildren will consider SE.

Pls, let's stick to this roster to avoid any disruption because even the 2055 is still subject to change.

igbos should leave president and focus more on the biafra agitation,#biafraordeath#nobiafranopeace

Awol1:


Even man was God, the East would have blinked at your roaster but alas, man no be God.

You can go and ask Ismaila Isa Funtua in his grave.

Awol1:


If it was left to us, the Igbos would have preferred somebody like Peter Obi, Umahi or Onu to take our slot...

But just like what was done to the Yoruba in 1999 when the cabals chose Obasanjo over Olu Falae, so also would they probably give the ticket to OUK.

As it stands right now, there's no one in OUK's if presidency will come to the East.

Pathetic I must admit.

Gbogbo ebe yi ko necessary. If Kalu is interested in the presidency, he should contest the APC primary against other interested aspirants. Begging Tinubu is not necessary. Obasanjo did not beg Ekwueme to step down for him in 1999 and 2003, he simply contested and defeated him at the primaries. Kalu should do the same.

Nobody will give ticket to that thief
