Elder statesman and Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, alongside other eminent Nigerians are set to participate in a dialogue aimed at making a stronger advocacy for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in next year’s general election.

The Greater Nigeria Conference, GNC, which is slated for Monday at the International Conference Centre, ICC, Abuja, is led by a former Governor of Enugu state, Chief Okwesilieze Nwodo, Sen. Victor Umeh and Sen Chris Anyanwu among other Igbo patriots at home and in the diaspora

A statement from the GNC Media Office signed by Collins Steve Ugwu disclosed that the conference is organized as a pan-Nigerian dialogue by the non-partisan ‘Nzuko Umunna’, a global Igbo Think-Tank.
It is dedicated towards awakening the best ethnic and political fraternities of Nigerians to appreciate the binding need for accommodation and sacrifice, in supporting a Nigerian President from the South-East region of Nigeria come 2023 elections.

“The plannings are complete, the audience is ready, and more patriotic Nigerians are now selfless in championing the truth, that our country can only get better and faster on the wheels of equality, justice, fairness and deliberate inclusion, to all her citizens, especially the Southeast people of Nigeria,” Ugwu added.

He said aside the nationalist patriots expected in Abuja from all over the country, four governors from the Southeast, who will play central roles to the big idea of a Nigerian President from the Southeast persuasion project, will also be in attendance.
It is already heart warming, and a sign of great awareness what one of them, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state declared passionately this week that Ndigbo have cried enough on their marginalization, and Nigerians should grant the region a fair playing ground, come 2023 general elections for the Presidency.

“Hear him in clear sync with the GNC project: ‘No one in Nigeria can deny the fact that Ndigbo are zealous, patriotic and committed to the oneness of Nigeria. All that they demand is a level playing field for all of us to operate and compete’.

“Amplifying this firm and fair resolve, he again called Nigerians’ attention to history, thus, ‘Most of the patriots who engineered the plan that made the Southwest region produce the presidential candidates for the two major political parties in 1999 are still alive and active in Nigerian politics.

“‘That same underlying love for the country that inspired them to do what they did for the Southwest in 1999, should inspire them to do the same for the Southeast in 2023′. 

“That simply is a factual foretaste to the many more of what Greater Nigeria Conference will put in the front burner, as it gathers all the presidential aspirants from Southeast before Nigerians to dialogue and persuade the election of one as Nigeria President in the spirit of together-we-can-do-better for this country,” he stated

Mooh247:





Since 2003 there have being several Ibo organised conferences, seminars and workshops with the main goal of Ibo Presidency, even 2003 Ibo world Congress that held in Texas the main focus ever since then has being Ibo Presidency

Reality is noise making doesn't win any Election, emotional blackmail doesn't either

Seeking consensus candidacy or micro Zoning only portray a candidate as weak, and Nigeria would never vote a weakling as President.. never!!!!!

Go on twitter or create a thread on Nairaland and ask a simple question... What are the achievement of Peter Obi , Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha ... Also ask Tinubu and Osinbajo's or Atiku and Tambuwal supporters this same simple harmless questions.... Their response would help you understand why people are skeptical on trusting them with the might Presidential executive powers

Islandlady:

No Igbo president this century

Mooh247:



Will this your comment in your own intelligence give you Ibo Presidency

Suddenly you are threatening a stranger you've never met before that he would be consumed because he doesn't support your aspiration

Suddenly I am hateful because I don't support you politically

Emeka was arguing with me yesterday that this is the time for igbo presidency. Infact, he was quoting the constitution to substantiate his claim.

I told him to stop quoting congo constitution in Nigeria politics.

Few moments later, Emeka started quoting what lamidi kwanu told him during one of their ummuna meetings in Alaigbo.

na human being shoulders dey sweet pass!!!

⏩⏩Igbos ipobs do not know how to play
National politics and as such can
never smell the presidency even
in the next 40 years.

⏩They should concentrate on trading
and business which is their God given
talent.

The whole of Igbo land is even less
than the size of Kaduna, Adamawa or
Kwara state.


Lastly, them never even get Biafra,
yet they are already killing themselves
every Monday and attacking federal
government agencies and yet want to
be president❗️❗️

E no go happen❗️❗️❗️☹️☹️☹️

Even after burning all political bridges and destroying all your political goodwill? Impossible and unreasonable. Absurdity of the highest order.

Even if Presidency by “gentleman’s agreement” were remotely possible; S/east are not deserving of it from the other Nigerians you attacked, maligned and peddled hate speech against for the past 7 years.

You want to be voted to be the head keeper of the “zoo” while trying to destroy the same “zoo” and you’re expecting votes from which animals? Stop kidding and ridiculing yourselves abeg.

Go out there and lobby/consult/compete or no 2023 presidency for the SE. Take that to the bank.

If there are 3 cars in an household with 2 adults and a baby....

Will you allow all 3 to drive at once ?

No! You make sure the baby grows up, goes to driving school and matures.

Until then, he can cry and curse and rant but remains in the back seat.

You flog him from time to time if he oversteps his boundaries.
