“We are tired of recycled politicians. Not only that, but for equity’s sake, we need a candidate from the South-East to occupy Aso Villa in 2023.
“The next President should come from the South-East. It should be the Igbo’s turn in 2023.
“A Yoruba man has been there, Hausa – Fulani people have also been there, so it should be the turn of an Igbo man.”
“It should be Peter Obi or any party that can put an Igbo man there. We want justice, fairness and equity, and this is why I’m supporting Obi.
“Apart from the issue of equity, Obi also has what it takes to deliver. He has the qualities, and the ability to deliver.
“If we want to remain a truly united country, we need to be fair to one another. We must honestly admit that we have been unfair to the South-East, and we need to redress this injustice.”
