2023: Igbos must convince Nigeria to produce next president – Peter Obi
A former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi has said the South East must convince the other regions that it is ready to produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023.
Obi stated this while speaking with Arise TV on Monday.
The 17 Governors in the South West, South South and South East have already met twice recently, to affirm their demand that the South produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
However, the position has not been micro-zoned to any of the three zones.
Obi feels the South East must produce a “convincing argument” to the rest of Nigeria on why the region should take the slot.
According to him, the region must also embrace the politics of “engagement and consultation, and not confrontation”.
Politics is about engagement and consultation, and not confrontation. You consult and discuss with other people and say, ‘this is how we need to do it for us to have peaceful coexistence’.
