Why Igbo man will not succeed Buhari in 2023-Fani-Kayode

By Bimbo Ogunnaike

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said that as a result of the injustice that Nigeria represent will make it so difficult for an Igbo man to succeed the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

President Buhari who  hails from Katsina in Northern Nigeria is expected to hand over, in 2023, to someone from the country’s Southern part under the unwritten rotational presidency.

There have been a debate that the South East region  should produce the nation’s next president when Buhari leaves power in 2023.

However, Fani-Kayode, in his tweeter handle, has said the north will never back an Igbo presidency, claiming that southern Nigeria needs emancipation.

“If you believe that the north will support an Igbo Presidency in 2023 then you still don’t understand the injustice that Nigeria represents,” he tweeted on Tuesday.

“The north will NEVER support an Igbo presidency and that is the tragedy of Nigeria. The entire south needs EMANCIPATION and not Presidency.”
