2023 Igbo Presidency Non-Negotiable – Iwuanyanwu

Renowned business mogul and politician, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, says there is no going back on the emergence of a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

Iwuanyanwu stated this, while speaking at the 81st birthday celebration of political maestro and 4-time senator, Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe, at his country home, Oguta, weekend.

He reminded guests at the event that the celebrant, Senator Nzeribe, always made strong case for a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction, even as he argued that restructuring of Nigeria was long overdue.

“The northern part of Nigeria has ruled the country more than the South. Presently, power is still in the North. In 2023, being eight straight years of the North holding unto power again, under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, it is expected that power will shift to the South. When you come to the South, the South West and South Southern parts of the country have both produced presidents. It is, therefore, the turn of the South East to produce the president of this country come 2023, in the interest of equity and fairness. These are among the things Senator Nzeribe fought for, in his active days in the Senate and the time has come for its realisation. This is non-negotiable.”

Speaking on the person of his age-long friend, Senator Francis Arthur Nzeribe, Chief Iwuanyanwu described him as a strong and dependable ally, who stood firmly in the defense of the South East and everything just.
