2023: Group says Peter Obi’s presidency will end Biafra agitation
Meanwhile, the aegis of the Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy, based in the United States of America, has said that Obi’s emergence as the country’s president in 2023, would end secession calls and a spate of insecurity, especially in the southeast.
The group, therefore, called on Nigerians to massively vote for Obi, whose personality and leadership quality the group described as rare in the Nigerian political space.
This was contained in a statement signed by the chairman of the group, Prof. Eddy Oparaoji, and seen by Legit.ng on Tuesday, June 7.
