Former president of
Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has urged Igbos to contest for the presidency in
2019.
He
stated this when he hosted the leadership of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), Ogun State chapter, at his Abeokuta Hilltop residence on
Tuesday.
Obasanjo said he was in
support of the return to regional governance, as it will solve the problem of
marginalization.
He
also said the people of Ogun West senatorial district, should be allowed to
produce the next Governor.
“Irrespective
of the thinking of the people ahead of 2019, I personally think that South-East
should have a go at the Presidency too.
“The
same is happening here. If Ijebu and Egba have produced the governor, it is
only fair and just to allow the Yewa or Ogun West to also produce governor. Or
else, one day, they will also stand up and take up arms against this injustice
against them. That is my personally position on this,” Obasanjo said.
