A social critic and chieftain of the United Progressives Party, UPP, Professor Protus Nathan Uzorma, has advised the agitators for a president of Igbo extraction in 2019, to discard the idea, as it remains a tall dream.
Professor Uzorma, who made his feeling known during a press conference in Owerri, however, advised that “Ndigbo should rather begin to organize themselves for the 2023 presidential race, instead of embarking on a wild goose chase in 2019.”
It was his considered opinion that since the sitting president is constitutionally entitled to a second tenure and would definitely go for it, it would be a mirage for Ndigbo to achieve the feat.
The UPP chieftain, who dismissed the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration in Imo State as “a disaster that has impoverished the masses over the years,” also warned that “it would only take divine intervention to rescue the state from its current state in abyss.”
Speaking on the nation’s democratic engineering since 1999, Uzorma noted that although the nation had made some giant strides within the period, a lot still needed to be done to differentiate it from military despotism.
After taking a critical look at the nation’s economy, Professor Uzorma lamented that the exchange rate of the Naira had continued to slide. stressing that this situation has disastrous economic consequences to Nigeria and Nigerians. “Where are we heading to and what is the future of our nation and its citizens?Before President Muhammadu Buhari came on board, our economy was a little bit stable but it is no longer so toady”, Uzorma lamented. Answering a question, the UPP chieftain opined that the fall in the prices of oil may have contributed to the current economic mess because Nigeria runs an oil-based economy.

Until the Igbos start to understand that politics is a game of numbers, agitation for the presidency will remain a mirage. The average Igbo man does not believe in compromise with other ethnic groups. How many good men of Igbo extraction have indicated their willingness to lead their people. Now these people are being led by chalatans and miscreants. Let anybody write a concise critique of the Igbos and see all the insults that will be heaped on that person. When OBJ openly disgraced Balogun and other prominent yorubas for corruption, no yoruba person made any noise. Bode George was gaoled and no yoruba person any noise. If one as much as request that Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan account for his stewardship, the Igbos will shout maginalization. Are we telling the othe people in Nigeria that the Igbos are inherently corrupt? This "it's our money, let him steal it" mantra has made Igbo land desolate.
