Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he thinks the Igbos should have a go at the presidency in 2019.
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his take on an Igbo president come 2019.
Obasanjo
made this on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 while while playing host to the
leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ogun State
chapter, at his Abeokuta Hilltop residence.
Throwing
his weight behind the South-East geopolitical zone, Obasanjo reportedly
said he thinks the South East should also have a go at the presidency
in 2019 general elections.
In his words: Obasanjo said, “Irrespective
of the thinking of the people ahead of 2019, I personally think that
South-East should have a go at the Presidency too.
Continuing, Obasanjo said:"The
same is happening here. If Ijebu and Egba have produced the governor,
it is only fair and just to allow the Yewa or Ogun West to also produce
governor. Or else, one day, they will also stand up and take up arms
against this injustice against them. That is my personally position on
this.”
