The renowned medical doctor and head of Igbo village in the United States of America, disclosed this during a town hall/interactive forum with Ndigbo on his presidential aspiration, held at Hotel Cordial in Enugu.
He stated that he was in the race because socio-political organisations in the country persuaded him to come out to save the country, pointing out that the major problem of the country was lack of good and selfless leadership. He insisted that it is the turn of the South East geopolitical zone to produce the president of Nigeria in 2023, and enjoined Easterners and lovers of equity to vote out any party that doesn’t give its presidential ticket to a South Easterner.“South Easterners had contributed greatly to the development of Nigeria in terms of infrastructure, intellect and business. It was time to give an Igbo person the chance to build Nigeria to the standard God wants.
“God created Nigeria to develop into a major power among nations and raise respect and dignity for all blacks on earth. One of the ways to achieve the feats the nation wanted is to carry everybody along without discrimination. “Nigeria is huge enough for everybody, Nigeria has the capacity to hold everybody, Nigeria has the intellectuals, Nigeria has all it takes to lift the country, all we are asking for is to give the South-East zone a chance to lead and raise Nigeria, Africa up in the world standing,” he stated.
