The Eze Ndigbo of Ibadanland and Oyo State, Dr. Alex Anozie, yesterday said the people of the South-East would support any political party that picks its presidential candidate from the region in 2015.
Anozie said in a statement made available to journalists in Ibadan that the South-East should be allowed to produce the next Nigeria’s president in 2015 in the interest of justice and fairness.
He said: “There are many good presidential materials from the South-East who will make this country proud if given the opportunity. “Ndigbo will be glad to vote for any political party that picks its presidential candidate from the South- East in the next general election.
“Sorry to say what that I want to say now and do not mind my language, if there is anything like conscience still in existence in our country, then we do not need anybody to tell Nigerians this bitter truth that it is justifiable that Ndigbo should be given the opportunity to produce a Nigerian president.
“There are very many good presidential materials from the South-East who will make this country proud when given the opportunity. I am very sure that we have many credible Igbo sons and daughters who are fit to rule this great country.”
