Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has called on Igbos to build bridges with other parts of the country to enable them win the presidential seat of Nigeria in 2023.

He said the presidency is not too much of a position for the people of the South East region to ask for, considering their contributions to the country.

Fani-Kayode spoke to journalists in Onitsha, Anambra State during a visit to the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano on Sunday, where he expressed hope that Igbo Presidency was realisable.

He said the realization of the project would give Igbo people a sense of belonging in the Nigerian nation and serve as compensation for their loss during the civil war.

“Igbo man has never led the country and it is a sad thing for some of us that no Igbo man has ever ruled the country. It is one of the things that should be done to ensure stability

“It is realisable, and it is incumbent on the people of the South East to ensure they win the support of people of other regions. A lot of work needs to be done. It (Igbo presidency) is due and will go a long way to stop agitations and make the Igbo feel they are part and parcel of Nigeria

“We can ameliorate the pains of the past and make up for it. No part of Nigeria has ever lost over three million people in a crisis, so it can serve as compensation. If it is going to be achieved, we must ensure we win support in all parts of the country,” he said.

The former minister said he was in Anambra as part of a tour of some states in the country he scheduled to visit since after the COVID-19 lockdown

“We were in Enugu yesterday (Saturday) and will be going to five other states before going back to Abuja. I am here to see what has been going on in Anambra, interact with the governor and see things that are going on here.

“I am here as a member of the PDP and for me, it is not about party, but about how well the state governor has been able to take the state. I can confess that I have seen a lot of what your governor is doing here. Before now, the state was rife with kidnapping and other violent crimes. I urge Anambra people to remember what the state was before Obiano came, and appreciate him.

“We should encourage Obiano. I have seen good development in terms of the international airport being constructed by the governor. We just ran down the runway and it is the longest runway in the country. And it is the biggest in the country so far.

“The project will dwarf every other airport in the country and also draw development to the state. I am a former aviation minister, and I should be able to tell you about the project I saw on the ground. I am sorry that the governor is packaging it (airport) as a surprise, and I have let the cat out of the bag.”

He urged Obiano to ensure that the right person succeeds him, to ensure that his legacies are maintained.

Even me, I urge them to fight for it.

The whole concept of "we should be given" is nothing but a heap of dogshit, it is an imposicant.

Moreover, I don't think pdp will deny them the opportunity to contest on its platform in view of the fact that they have been visibly loyal to the party for over 2 decades.

I'm done talking.

Or is it not zoo anymore?

BlowYourMind:
Clown, no baby factory product will be president of this nation, we can kill them speaker of house of Representatives

Then accept the Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen to rule you.

Next Nigerian president will come from south according to zoning (SW included) so Yoruba's can also contest and let nigerians decide.

How did Tinubu come into this? If you want to win the presidency build bridges and fight for it, next thing you are mentioning Tinubu.
This is becoming worrisome.

To me. I think Femi Fani Kayode can fights for them. So he should fight for them!

Igbos should join The Yorubas to Fight for Restructuring first before 2023.

One thing is sure if the South cannot unite with one voice and stand firm to produce a southern president after Buhari am sorry we might just be playing into the hands of the North by handling them the 'presidency again on a platter of gold.

A house divided among itself cannot stand .

They should not fight
They should continue their usual threat and chest beating
Presidency will be offered to them on a platter of gold since that's what they want.


They should not fight
He who can fight is coming

Any reasonable Igbo chap should not even dream of Nigerian presidency talk less fight for it. Ndigbo should rather seek the means to disintegrate the shithole than fight the presidency. Nigeria does not have the trappings of nation talk less a country. It is only in the shithole called Nigeria where the leadership does not refer to the people as Nigerians but my people from the north when engaged in a verbal exercise.

I agree with the poster above.

Can someone without muscle fight before?

Instead focus on waiting for the US, UK, UN, FIFA & UEFA to help in dismantling Nigeria like they've started doing since 2015.

That was part of the agenda when the US ambassador led a delegation to visit Tinubu.

must they rule Nigeria? they won't add any value to Nigeria unless the needful is done
