Neither Atiku nor Buhari’ll give Igbo presidency – Mbazulike Amaechi
ELDER statesman and First Republic Aviation Minister, Chief Mbazukuike Amaechi, has advised Ndigbo not to be bouyed by the illusion that either President Mohammadu Buhari of the APC or Atiku Abubakar of the PDP can “dash” them presidency in 2023.
The Octogenarian, who spoke to Vanguard in reaction to the SGF, Boss Mustapha, statement that Igbo becoming President in 2023, would depend on their support for President Mohammadu Buhari’s re-election in 2019, also expressed worry over the level of dictatorship in the country now.
He called on the international community to wade into the human right abuse in the country.
Amaechi told Ndigbo that they would need tactical strategy to “take” Nigeria presidency and advised them to be wise in their plans.
