Jonathan, however, swiftly denied authorizing the process.
Reacting, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, urged the former Nigerian leader not to pitch his tribe, Ijaw against Ndigbo.
Isiguzoro told Jonathan not to forget the sacrifices Igbo people made for him in the past.
He said: “there is no going back to the 2023 Nigerian President of Igbo stock and anything contrary to it amounts to a denial of equity, fairness, and justice.”
“We expect Goodluck Jonathan as an elder statesman and African iconic personality to endorse an Igbo Presidency from the seven Igbo speaking States, including Anioma (in Delta) or Ikwerre (in Rivers).
“He should not forget that the South-East and the Igbos were his citadel of support in 2011 and 2015. We became marginalized and were regarded as 5 percent because of the support we gave Jonathan in 2015.
“This should be a payback time for the sacrifices we made for the Ijaws and Jonathan in particular”.
