The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, has hinted on the “only” path the Igbo race can produce Nigeria’s President.
Amadi disclosed that the only pathway for the Igbo nation to produce Nigeria’s President is through dignity.
Posting on X, Amdi wrote: “I have said it before, the only pathway to Igbo presidency in Nigeria is a path called ‘dignity’. Eji ndu eme gini (what is the value of life), talk less of Nigerian presidency, outside dignity.”
During the 2019 and 2023 elections, there were clamours for the South-East to produce Nigeria’s President.
Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi was the presidential running mate to then Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, in 2019 but the party lost.
In 2023, Obi decamped to the Labour Party, LP, in his push to become Nigeria’s President but he came third behind Atiku and eventual winner and candidate of the All Progressives Party, APC.
Meanwhile, Obi will again contest the 2027 presidential election under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
