Why Igbos cannot come to the table to demand the presidency slot - Amaechi

Minister for transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said the Igbos can not demand the presidency in 2023 because the region voted against the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) in the last general election.

According to Amaechi who made this known while fielding questions from Journalists in Abuja yesterday, he said if the Igbo had voted Buhari, they would boldly tell Mr President and the National Chairman of the party that presidency should go the Southeast since the South-south; South-west and North-west have produced a president.

His words:

“I don’t know what they will do now for voting against the APC,” he said.

“For refusing to support the APC, they cannot come to the table to demand the presidency slot.

“For people like us in the APC, if the Igbo had come and voted Buhari, they would boldly tell Mr President and the National Chairman of the party that presidency should go the Southeast since the South-south; South-west and North-west have produced president. What argument would the Southeast come up with now to convince anybody that they deserve the slot for 2023 president?”
