Chief Clarence Olafemi, former governor of Kogi State, has called on people of Igbo extraction to have unity of purpose in supporting Mr. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, as well as the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in 2019, so that Ndigbo will bounce back into the mainstream of the Nigerian politics.
Olafemi made the recommendation while addressing journalists in Lokoja, the Kogi capital yesterday.
He noted that “it is high time the Igbos should have a rethink and re-organise themselves so that they do not suffer similar fate of the past.”

He explained that Obi’s choice as Atiku’s running mate in the 2019 presidential contest “is definitely the best thing for the PDP in particular and Nigeria in general.”
On this note, Olufemi urged the leaders of the Igbos “to resolve their differences and support Obi so that they can come into the mainstream of Nigeria politics which is the first step for them to become the President of Nigeria.”
The former governor equally appealed to the leaders of the Igbos, especially in the PDP, to take Obi’s choice as a God-given to bring the Igbo back to the mainstream of the country’s politics and leadership that have eluded them for some time now.
