“I am not even canvassing for Nigerian president. I am saying that an Igbo man should be president in 2015. It matters where the president comes from because all segments of the society had been president. People continue letting Ndigbo down because they think we were defeated during the war, which is not true.
“And until an Igbo man rules this country, the country will not move anywhere.”
Former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has been telling all who care to listen that Nigerians must allow an Igbo man to emerge the President in 2015 before this country can make progress.
Kalu, who is the founder of Njiko Igbo, a socio-political group committed to the advancement of Igbo interests in the country, stated this on Thursday while speaking as guest on “Platform”, a Radio Nigeria political programme.
He said the need for a president of Igbo extraction had become imperative because apart from the South-East, all other zones of the country had produced a president.
Kalu insisted that in the interest of equity and fair play, other sections should support the emergence of an Igbo man as president in 2015, claiming that the Igbos were the most populous ethnic group in the country as at today.

I think Uzor Kalu is suffering from brain problem.... Who was the first executive president in Nigeria? What was Zik's position?? Which tribe dragged Nigeria into a senseless war???
ReplyDeleteMuyiwa,I think you are the one suffering from chronic amnesia and completely uneducated in the history of Nigeria and the cause of the civil war.Kindly avail yourself time for proper research from international war journalists who covered the war,and forget quoting from your invented kitchen tribal wavelength.Seek ye the truth and ye shall find,and or ask and it shall be given to you.Period!!!!
DeleteYou are one of the war mongers. 'No' to Igbo president for ever. Igbo lack logic. They cannot be president.
DeleteAm an igbo dude but i don't think that Nigerian progress depends on which tribe is the president.What makes a progresive nation is when there is a leader who is elected and not selected in the country.Until then,Nigeria will never be progresed
ReplyDeleteIgbo man as president!!!!! Welcome. China. India. Turkey. Indonesia. Business partners in adulterated substandard goods... and the legalisation of container only port!!! Does this man think that all Nigerians are daft and stupid. If an Igbo man becomes president then Women can also become traditional rulers in Nigeria.... The Nigerian President should indeed emerge by election only well said earlier on!!!

ReplyDeleteI am an Igbo man,d same igbo man dat was yabbing Olu for publishing d okoye rumours! This orji is one shameless igbo Man that has ever lived. A man indicted for corruption,a man who was recently defeated in an ordinary senators race,a man who steals money frm igboland and reinvests it in other countries,is talking abt being an igbo President? He is just looking for a way to avoid going to prison! This Man is a criminal

ReplyDeleteYou all are bunkum accusing Orji, i did't see anything wrong in what he is saying. In that speech he did't say he want to be President but he is poking we Igbo's to vote for any Igbo man that comes out. I think we Igbo's can achieve that your dream if we vote for only 1 man that comes out to rule. His Excellency Sir i great you.
ReplyDeletewell i dont think anything bad in igbo man to become president but my question is why is all tribe cry about president and ingnore thr state undevelope let see the progrees u will make in ur zone first and the western yoruba people we are talking about today that they developed little in nigeria started thr joining with opposition til today who gain nothing from presidecy even when thr child was president he ingnore them with all that there ok so why are we cry about presidency and ingnore massive development in the zone orji fight for your people devlopment first if igbo hav something to do atlist they dominate GEJ presidency now let see wht they can offer there people {easy}
