Arewa Support Group for Igbo President 2023 has declared its support for Igbo Presidency come 2023.
This was revealed on Thursday, by the group’s national Coordinator, Mustpaha Imam at the press conference in Kano.
Speaking at the press conference, Mustpaha noted that since the civil war, an Igbo has never occupied the number one office.
He also urged the media and Nigerians at large to support and promote the consciousness of Nigerians towards the emergence of a president of Igbo extraction as that would satisfy the notion of equity, fairness and justice, which are the pillars of any successful society.
While stating that the time is apt for a Southeasterner to be elected, Imam stressed that the region has many competent politicians to deliver quality service to the country.
Going further, he recalled that in 1999, the entire Nigerian nation was mobilised to adopt a president of Yoruba extraction, a situation which brought about Olu Falae and Olusegun Obasanjo as candidates of the two leading political parties.
He added that Nigerians can repeat the same gesture to the East.
“In view of the above, we seek the support of the media, particularly media houses that are domiciled in the North to join hands with us in creating awareness about the need for an Igbo President in 2023.
‘This organisation cannot do it solely without the positive support of the media and we hope that together we shall achieve our desired goals.” he said.
