Former lawmaker, Abdulmumin Jibrin, says the best hope for a future Igbo president in Nigeria is for the southeast region to support former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, to win the 2023 presidential election.
The election that will decide President Muhammadu Buhari's replacement is expected to favor a candidate from the south, based on an unwritten agreement to rotate power between the north and south.
Politicians from the southeast, home to Igbos, have clamored that the position be specifically zoned to the sub-region as it's not produced a president or vice president since the return of democracy in 1999. Jibrin, a campaigner for Tinubu's 2023 ambition, said in an interview with Arise News that the region has failed to play the right politics to position them, and would have to wait for long.
