2023 presidency: Pete Edochie rejects Tinubu

Pete Edochie, veteran Nollywood actor has kicked against the presidential aspiration of the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.

Edochie old BBC Igbio that Tinubu has been in power for a long time and should consider resigning.

He said, “Many people like Tinubu are too old and too weak to run for the presidency. He has been in power for a long time until he was made the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

“But he should leave the position for those who are younger and healthier. Let’s be honest.

“Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba are the major ethnic groups in the country. Only once in the history of Nigeria has an Igbo person become the head of state in Nigeria.

“Why has power not returned to the Southeast people? Is there a plot by the political elites to sideline the South-East? I’ve lived in the North. I speak Hausa. But it’s long overdue for Nigeria to have a leader of Igbo extraction”.
