A group, known as Registered and Eligible Voters Council, in the southern part of Nigeria, has said that only an Igbo President, come 2023, will guarantee peace and unity in Nigeria.

The Chairman of the group, Mr. Godson Oseloke, who stated this in a statement on Sunday, frowned at the alleged marginalisation of Igbos since the nation’s independence.

He said, “We are calling on the Nigerian electorate, especially the southern people, to vote for South-East Presidency in the 2023 general election.

“What this nation needs this time is not the party but a competent Igbo president, who can fix all the wrongs and unite this country again.

“Since independence, the Igbos have remained cheated and marginalised. The entire country is in a disarray in every sector, and for the sake of equity, Igbo man needs to be given a chance and this is the right time.
