The 70-year-old went on to note that he is not coming for fun or to seek popularity.
Ohuabunwa's declaration is coming amid calls made by various groups, prominent Nigerians that the next president should be from the southeastern part of the country.
It would be recalled that back in 2020, the former chairman of NESG asked all lovers of equity and justice to rally round the Igbo to ensure that they produce the next president after Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Ohuabunwa described those who are opposed to a president of Igbo extraction in 2023 as selfish individuals, who only want to cause confusion and create a greater division, enmity, and unhappiness.
The respected business leader said that for equity, justice and fairness, the next president of Nigeria in 2023 should come from the southeast geopolitical zone.
