An Igbo Socio-cultural group, Ndigbo United Forum NUF, has stated that it has commenced activities to actualising Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

To achieve this, the group said it has commenced sensitizing Nigerians and building bridges across other  ethnic groups in Nigeria.  

Leader of NUF, in Ebonyi State  Dr Haroun Aja made the disclosure in Abakaliki on Friday.

 Aja who believed the project is achievable  disclosed that the group is committed to the project and had held several meetings on the need for the next President to come from Igbo extraction.

According to him, the organisation would involve the who-is-who in the South-East in its quest to actialise the project.

Ajah said that the group would involve the political, the academia, religious leaders and traditional rulers including those in the entertainment industry from South-East geopolitical zone in the struggle.

He said: “We have six geopolitical zones created by an Igbo man, late Dr Alex Ekwueme during the Constitutional Conference.

“Other zones have produced the president, ordinarily, it is high time we closed ranks and support this cause.

“We are going to give our all in this regard, rally support from other zones of the country and ensure that justice, equity and fairness prevail in 2023 by an Igbo man becoming the president of Nigeria.

“Because of the philosophy behind the formation of the group, we have intensified effort in seeking the support of other ethnic nationalities and other third force in ceding their presidential candidates to the Southeast zone of Nigeria”.

Aja said that the activities of the group include voter education, advocacy and awareness creation, integration of various ethnic nationalities into the group to ensure the success of the mission.
