Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is not a presidential candidate, according to the highest Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

National Publicity Secretary for Ohanaeze, Alex Ogbonnia, was responding to a statement made by the NNPP’s presidential candidate.

The Southeast, according to Kwankwaso, is too politically immature to deliver the president of Nigeria in 2023.

He declared that Peter Obi, the Labour Party, LP’s presidential candidate, would have to serve as his running mate, not the other way around.

Ogbonnia condemned Kwankwaso’s remark and claimed the NNPP presidential hopeful lacked the skills necessary to evaluate the Igbos.

He argued that the Igbo people had been ready for a long time to lead Nigeria.

Ogbonnia emphasized in a statement that anyone who had succeeded in business and resided in another area of the nation could lead Nigeria.

The organization’s scribe believed that an Igbo president will do better because they comprehend the nation.

He claimed that Nigerians shouldn’t have any doubts about the Igbo people’s ability to dominate Nigeria if given the chance.

He said: “Kwankwaso’s description is unfortunate. He does not know Igbo and lacks the capacity to assess its people. Such a comment is not expected of a presidential candidate.

“As far as I know, Igbo have been the pillar that has helped this country to survive so far. He should know that any person who can do well in business and live in any part of the country can succeed as president.

“Kwankwaso cannot be said to be the best material the country can have when issues of the presidency are discussed. Except for our parochial nature and the kind of politics we have in Nigeria, I do not think that our competence should be in doubt at any time.”
