Ohanaeze Ndigbo has set up a committee that would visit the various Emirs and Obas across the country to draw support towards emergence of Igbo candidates in various political parties.

The president of the Anambra State branch of Ohanaeze, Obi Chukwuemeka Udodeme, who revealed this in Anambra said the Igbos were leaving no stone unturned to ensure that for the sake of equity and justice, the next president of Nigeria would be an Igbo.

Udodeme expressed worry at the stories making the rounds that the two major political parties were nursing the idea of presenting their candidates from the northern part of the country at a time the general feeling among Nigerians was that the presidency should be zoned to the southern part of the country.

According to him, the Ime Obi Ohanaeze, the highest decision-making body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, would meet in Enugu on May 5, 2022 to take far-reaching decisions on the 2023 Igbo presidency.
