2023: How Igbos can actualize Presidency - Anyim Reveals


A former President of the Senate, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim has opined that Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023 would only be made possible if the various segments of the people of the region constructively and creatively engage their counterparts from other parts of the country, Igbere TV reports.


The engagement, according to him will engender confidence and create opportunity for making the necessary compromises to secure their support and votes.

Speaking during a lecture he titled: Identifying the political interest of the Igbos of the South-East Geo-Political Zone in Nigeria and Strategies for It's actualization at the 6th World Igbo Summit held in Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State at the weekend, the former Secretary to Government of the Federation reiterated that the Igbo Presidential ambition can never be a gift, noting however that the concept of equal citizenship means that the nation, its resources and leadership belong to all Nigerians.


"The fair application of this equality of rights concept is what guarantees the cohesion of every society, particularly a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria.


According to him, "The peace, prosperity and general progress of every country is dependent on how institutions are strengthened to ensure equality before the law. In recognition of the above, it is essential to note that no particular individual or group owns the leadership of the country and so nobody gives it", he stated.


Further, Senator Anyim said, "Many are of the view that power is not given but taken and the only way to win power in a democracy is by persuasion and through the ballot box.


Accordingly, we note that in the exercise of the voters right of choice under the law, the voter is protected from coercion. And so, to persuade another to exercise his right in your favour, you must seek his cooperation and alliance.
I recommend that in our engagement with other zones and peoples, our tone must reflect negotiation, not antagonism. It must be one of friendship and not disdain or disrespect. It must show our willingness to enter into an enduring and lasting relationship for long term interest of all the parties", he strongly maintained.


Anyim concluded by observing that producing a President of Nigeria of South-East extraction demands a lot of work from every segment of the Igbo nation.

"I therefore use this platform to call on all and sundry to rise to the occasion. The task is achievable if approached collectively and adequately, adding;

"to strengthen the capacity of the Igbos of the South-East geo-political zone to negotiate and ultimately win the Presidency, there is an urgent need for civic and voter education to increase voter turnout.


Anyim further regrettably observed that "The South-East is currently the zone with the least voter turnout, and this should change. Institutions like the World Igbo Summit should actively promote voter education and civic engagement."


He therefore concluded by noting that every Igbo organization and association should arise and promote voter education and civic engagement.

"I call on each and everyone of us to stand to be counted", he beckoned!

anyim Pius anyim

wake up from.your dream

U hear him

Looming danger ahead idle bastards

We Don hear

That's the truth most igbos don't come out to vote, election day to most is bad market. Because businesses gets grounded. Nonetheless for fairness and equity SE should have a swig at it, but 2023 is free for all regions

...if the various segments of the people of the region constructively and creatively engage their counterparts from other parts of the country..

This is impossible. The only engagement known to a huge majority of them, especially those who prowl nairaland day and night, is curses and insults. Anything outside that amounts to "cowardice" and "slavery".

Smh.

This is day dreaming.. As a bonafide Igbo man from Anambra state I don't want the presidency like this OSU here. Biafra or death
Any Igbo man talking of restructuring or presidency is an okoro, hausa fulani slave

The best contribution any man can make in life is to make the world and your environment better

As a fellow igbo man, I agree with you.

Also, as a worshipper of ohamadick lamidi cownu, I refuse to accept Buhari as my president.

Youre a Yoruba not Igbo..

Leave Igbo's to sort themselves

Yoruba's with your inferiority complex.

Una no dey tire?

Our Lord and personal savior is out to liberate us from the subjugation and ewedunization of hausa fulani and Yoruba muslims.
The ESN rebel group would soon commence operation crocrodile tears on infidels and we will match around zoogeria like the children of Israel did when they took over Jericho and the shackles of the fulani shall be broken into pieces. All this will happen whilst Nnamdi kanu commands us from the diaspora.
All hail the king of the ipob Jews Mazi Nnamdi Kanu!!!

Ewedu miscreants are already here on seeing igbo as the topic no wonder alot of mad people are seen in that region

They will just be puppets.

No to baby factory

Anyim you have said nothing but the truth but are we going to listen?

That's is where the problem lies.

Mr Anyim Pius anyim it is not yet time for any actualisation for now, may be in the next 70 to 80 years.

Anyim the sellout. Dude deserves to be stoned for always shortchanging Igbo interest. Patriot in the morning but IPOB sponsor at night.

Let Anyim tell Ndigbo what we gained in the 16 years of PDP support. Anyim should tell us why we had zero infrastructural development under GEJ despite having the ears and eyes of the Presidency.

Anyim should tell us his pact with Obasanjo which denied Ndigbo the VP slot in 2007. Anyim and other PDP SE Godfathers should tell us how he helped destroyed Igbo political growth by being used by Obasanjo to form MASSOB in 2002 which culminated to IPOB and the lost of interest of our people to national elections.

Why wouldn't these overfed fools leave Ndigbo out of their silly dreams of the shithole presidency?
