He said it would amount to insensitivity and indifference to the plight of the Igbo that have not produced the president if Tinubu and other Western and Northern leaders announce their presidential ambitions.
To demonstrate its commitment in this regard, NUF said it would criss-cross the length and breadth of Nigeria after COVID-19 pandemic to canvass the support of key stakeholders to support the cause of Ndigbo for the 2023 presidency.
It said the major political parties should do the needful by zoning their presidential tickets to the South-East geopolitical zone.
In the same vein, Spokesman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu said that while the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation remained dedicated to restructuring of Nigeria, it was in support of an Igbo man succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 for the sakeof justice and equity.
