Nigeria Needs An Igbo President’ – Obasanjo

By Hanuoluwapo
The remaining geo-political zones that have not
produced presidents have been told they should
have a taste of it in the interest of justice and
fairness.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo expressed
this view yesterday and that the Southeast should
produce a President as Ogun West Senatorial
District in Ogun State should also produce a
governor soon.
He disclosed this when the leadership of Ogun
State chapter of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Tunde-Akin Akinsanya and
other people visited him at his Hilltop home for a
special New Year service.

According to him, in justice and neglect lie the
instigators of conflicts along with ethnic and
regional lines in the country.
Obasanjo said it was part of his resolve for a just
and fair country that informed his decision to work
for a Southsouth President in 2009.
He said: “Irrespective of the thinking of the people
ahead of 2019, I personally think that Southeast
should have a go at the Presidency too.
“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 a
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.”
