Apex Igbo socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, says the South-East needs politicians like the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro,
said Tinubu has continuously dominated the political space of the South-West by working hard.
Isiguzoro noted that the APC presidential candidate had been fair to other ethnic nationalities across the country.
Isiguzoro, who stated this in a statement, said the former Lagos State Governor introduced other Nigerian ethnic nationalities to mainstream politics.
The Ohanaeze chieftain, therefore, appealed to South-East governors and politicians to emulate such a feat by Tinubu.
He lamented that many Igbo political elite have failed to make positive impact on the zone as Tinubu had done in the South-West.
Isiguzoro said, “The political misfortunes of the South-East are traced to the individualistic selfishness of desperate APC governors in the South-East and some South-East senators who are de-marketing the zone, their actions promoted the insecurity and economic challenges of the zone.
“Ndigbo need the type of leaders like APC Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who has worked hard for the South-West to regain control of mainstream politics. Tinubu was fair to all in Lagos as governor.
“He introduced all tribesmen in governance and empowered them, and it’s not late for South-East governors and leaders to emulate him. This is the best way to regain control of the political spectrum of the East, which is in the hands of non-state actors.”
