The Senate Minority Leader, Eyinnaya Abaribe, says that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will not give its 2023 presidential ticket to Igbo.
In an interview on Channels Television, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain, who said the APC was not set up to manage Nigeria properly, also claimed only his party can produce an Igbo President in 2023.
The lawmaker said, “The man who the shoe pinches know where it hurts. The Igbos are the people in Nigeria who make conscious efforts of setting anywhere else without hurting their host.
“At any point, you have never heard that they kill and maim their host so they know how to aggregate everybody’s feelings, their customs, their laws, their norms, everything. And so, because of that, we feel that the Igbo will understand you, will even have the time for you.

“Today, we don’t feel that this government has the time for anybody.
“You will see a tremendous change starting with the fact that he will be able to or she will be able to manage our diversity.
“We think that the party called APC is not set up to manage Nigeria properly and so it has to be our own party (PDP) that has been able to carry everybody along. And those of us Igbo within our party knowing that we have to play politics, talk to people, you have to be able to see your own point of view and buy into your vision are doing the consultations now.”
