Our mandate is to produce Igbo president in 2023, says Ohanaeze Ndigbo

The new leadership of the Igbo apex group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said that the mandate handed over to them is to produce a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

The newly elected spokesman of the body, Alex Ogbonna, made this known during an interview with the Daily Sun newspaper published on Saturday, January 16.

Ogbonna said that they were optimistic about achieving the mandate, adding that those who think Professor George Obiozor is a stooge in the hands of President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Hope Uzodinma, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to give him a chance.

His word; “The only aim is to convince Nigerians to consider Igbo for 2023 because we have been tasked to carry and portray the awareness and consciousness of the Igbo. Fortunately, the consciousness is to produce Igbo president. There is no need to delay or coming up with a new mandate.
“There is no time to be negative about the goal. We are very hopeful that we will achieve it. The mandate is an already started one and it is very clear to all of us. It is an unwritten agreement that must be achieved.”
