Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has said an Igbo presidency is sacrosanct come 2023.
Addressing members of the Political Action Committee, PAC, of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who visited him at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, to solicit his support for the quest for a Nigerian President of South-East extraction, Obasanjo said the minimum Nigerians would accept is that the next president should come from the South.
