Meanwhile, the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo said Nigeria cannot afford to deny the southeast region presidency in 2023.
The national publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chiedozie Ogbonnia, said claims making rounds in some quarters that Igbos cannot have the presidency in 2023 because of the agitation for Biafra by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is lame and weak.
Ogbonnia said allowing the Igbo presidency only gives room for equity, justice and fair play.
