Elder statesman, Tanko Yakasai, and former Secretary General, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Anthony Sani, have chided Professor of Journalism, Farooq Kperoogi, over his call for the election of a president of Igbo extraction to ensure peaceful co-existence among Nigerians of diverse ethnic nationalities.

Kperoogi had recently advocated the election of a President of Igbo extraction in 2023 as a possible solution to the disunity in the country.

The elder statesmen in a joint statement argued that the Presidency of any country is a product of deep-seated and extensive negotiation, rather than a mere wish by a people or group.

The statement read in part: “There can be no caveat with the significance of the submissions by Farooq Kperoogi, which he considers as needed to bring about the desired unity, harmony and peaceful coexistence that is sine qua non for meaningful socio-economic development of Nigeria. This is because a diverse country as Nigeria, tends to be fissiparous and constantly pulled in different directions by centrifugal forces.

“It is against this backdrop, that Nigeria has instituted many policies like quota system of admissions, and federal character in distribution of access to national employment, projects and major contracts, for the expressed purpose of promoting sense of belonging in the polity. This comes with inclusiveness of the diverse people in the belief that it is very possible to make the most of our God given diversity, thereby ensuring that every segment of the nation is given a true sense of belonging.”

According to them, “similar countries have also attempted to introduce policies with the objective of nation binding. For example, Ethiopia, which has never been colonized, practices ethnic based federalism, yet it has prevalent challenges of nation building.
.“Somalia, a country with only a few ethnic groups and predominantly singular faith, faces the challenges of nation building. Lebanon, on the other hand, has policies for balance of its religious diversity. Where the Christians produce the President, the Sunni would produce the Prime Minister, and the Shi’ite would produce the Speaker. Yet, they have governance challenges. All these go to show that, the tasks of nation building, go beyond mere balancing of public offices as an end in itself.

“All these are also a testimony to the fact that, though politics goes beyond ideals, it also includes who gets what, how and when, because it is driven by group interest, group goal, group coherence, group cohesion and even group conspiracy.

“Good governance is an art of balancing competing demands amongst not only constituents but also among socio-economic sectors; and what unites a nation, as they constitute national ideals and shared values.”

They disagreed with the notion that Igbo people have been marginalized over the years, saying “both the military and democratic governments have given Igbo people fair representations in the federal government and its agencies, such as Vice President, Senate Presidents, Speakers, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Coordinating Ministers, Service Chiefs, Governors of Central Bank of Nigeria , CBN and chairman of the ruling party.”

[b]The statement continued: “This solid integration of the Igbo people into the Nigeria affairs had enabled them to settle unperturbed in various parts of the country, giving them the unlimited latitude to pursue their business activities, which currently run into substantial net-worth.

“Similarly, there are projects situated by the federal government of Nigeria (in pursuance of policy of Reconstruction) in Igbo land (particularly the construction of the second Niger Bridge) to amplify and demonstrate government’s concern for the South-Eastern region.
Conversely, when the Igbos threaten to leave Nigeria, if an Igbo President does not emerge in 2023; one wonders the wisdom and the basis of this agitation without facts and figures to justify the intuition.

“Igbo people like any other Nigerians, are entitled to contest for the office of the President of the nation under the current multiparty democracy. To that end, they are expected to devise their winning game plans and use that to convince the Nigerian electorates to vote for one of their own.”[/b]

The President of the Academy of Medicine Specialities of Nigeria, Prof Oladapo Ashiru, has been elected the first black Secretary-General of the International Federation of Fertility Societies, IFFS, Executive Council for the 2022-2025 period.

Ashiru, who is also President of the Africa Reproductive Care Society has been Assistant Secretary-General of the global body since 2019.

The IFFS is the world body on fertility and a non-state organization in an official relationship with the World Health Organisation, WHO.

An experienced professor of Anatomy/Consultant reproductive endocrinologist, and co-pioneer of In Vitro Fertilisation, IVF, in Nigeria, Ashiru was elected at the General Assembly of the World Fertility Congress in Athens, Greece.

Others are Dr Eileen Malano (Philippines), Assistant Secretary-General; Dr RishmaPai (India), Treasurer; Dr Lana Retchitsky (USA), Assistant Treasurer, and Prof Linda Guidice (USA) Immediate past President. The Special Envoy for International relations is Dr Zi Jiang Chen of China.

In a statement, Ashiru said the IFFS World Congress provides a unique platform for attendees to convene, learn and discuss current advances in reproductive health, access to fertility care, and reproductive rights across the globe, and engage the patient perspective. He said the focus of the new executive will be on improved reproductive health throughout the globe.

“The Nigeria Association of Fertility and Reproductive Health has been an active member of IFFS since 1986, and is also a Country member of the International Executive Board represented by its current President Dr Ibrahim Wada.” On the theme of the 24th World Congress: “Exploring New Horizons in Fertility Care”, the new Secretary-General said renowned international faculty will engage attendees, while free communications and poster sessions offer an opportunity to share cutting-edge research and explore new ideas.

“The IFFS is a long-standing global organization representing National Fertility Societies since 1968. We represent over 65 UN country-specific Fertility Societies that, in the aggregate, encompass an estimated 50,000 physicians and reproduction medicine specialists worldwide, including various healthcare professionals,” Ashiru stated.

Same Osinbajo? omo this life don't tell them your next step well let me keep quiet first until he finally declare.

Mcheew, gathering of pigs!

A true mumu-omoluabi that was imprisoned in Aso-rock, and relegated to a mere errand boy.

A Man without substance. A slave to the northern oligarch. His envisage Imperial executive rule will be relegated to the South West only.

With all the hopes and propaganda propogated by the South West media during the 2014/15 presidential campaign; "Buhari will handle insecurity while osibande will handle the Economy". But the reality today says otherwise.

Nigeria says no to a failed man whom with-out doubt has proven not to be different from bubu and his professional team of failures.

Sentiment aside, let's tell ourselves the whole truth, the only people that can fix the Nigeria and give us the country of our dream are the igbos.

Give Igbo man just 4years, and see a remarkable change here.

A former aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has advised that allowing the South-East to produce the next Nigerian president would “end Civil War forever”.

He said this in an open letter addressed to the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party.

According to him, the South-East has not produced a president in the history of Nigeria.
His request came a few after presidential aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party from the South-East demanded that the party’s presidential ticket for 2023 should be zoned to their area.

The aspirants are Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Mr Peter Obi, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa and Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze.

The open letter read, “In the wake of the National crisis following the deaths of Chief MKO Abiola and Gen Sanni Abacha, very notable leaders in the country especially from the North and majorly of military background came together and decided to assuage the South-West and ensure national unity and stability, the south-est must be allowed to occupy the position of President in the country.

“And so it happened that the two leading political platforms at that time chose their presidential candidates from the South-West. By so doing, a major national concession was made and inevitably and democratically a Yoruba man, Olusegun Obasanjo became the president of Nigeria.

“In all the schemings and persuasions that went on behind the scenes nationally, the Yorubas did not participate. In fact, mainstream Yoruba took a hard-line position which was even antithetical to the stabilising concessionary process that was underway.
Today Nigeria stands at a similar crossroads.

“The fact of Igbo marginalisation and political oppression is self-evident.

Political parties will in a few weeks elect their presidential flagbearers. Many arguments for and against Igbo presidency, power rotation and merit and demerits if zoning are rife in our polity.

“In all this, the guiding philosophy ought to be, what is true, what is just and what is equitable? Rather

what we have are puerile and self-serving propositions and assertions.
“It is the truth that the established convention is that power must rotate between the North and the South.

Not between the zones. Hence a President of northern extraction follows that of Southern extraction and vice versa. Any consideration outside of this is foul and untrue.
“It is just that after President Buhari, power must come to the south. Any argument against this is inimical to the unity and stability of our nation.

“It is equitable that once the above stands and power is conceded to the south, the next president must come from the South East. This is because in the South only the southeast is yet to produce a civilian president.

“Fellow Nigerians, let us come together as a fair and just nation that we are. Let us concession the presidency to the southeast in 2023 and decisively end the Nigerian Civil War forever.”
