Ex Chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa has come out to say that Igbos don’t need special unity to produce a president in 2023.

He recently revealed that the discordant tunes over the Ebubeagu regional security outfit announced by South-East governors did not in any way suggest that Ndigbo were not united on the Nigeria President of Igbo extraction project in 2023.

According to him, other regions just have to agree to allow the Igbo to produce a president next, and everything should happen smoothly.

He added that when ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo was running for President in 1999, the whole Yoruba nation was not united behind him, but that did not stop the race from producing the President, as the major political parties ceded their presidential tickets to the region.

His words, “It doesn’t require any special unity. Ndigbo can always agree at critical times. Let Nigeria first accept that Igbo will produce President in 2023. Were Yoruba united in 1999 when Obasanjo became President? Some Yoruba openly opposed him. Equity and justice require that the next President should come from South-East.”
