Obasanjo Opposes Exclusion of Igbo Candidates from Presidency
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has strongly opposed the exclusion of Igbo candidates from Nigeria’s presidency due to past secession attempts, calling it “unfair.” He expressed these views during a meeting with the League of Northern Democrats, led by former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, at his library in Abeokuta.
Obasanjo pointed out that the desire for secession is not unique to the Igbo, noting that other ethnic groups, including those in the North with the “Araba” movement, have also considered breaking away. “It hurts me when people say an Igbo man cannot be president because of past secession,” he said.
He questioned the reasons for excluding the Igbo from the presidency, stating that every part of Nigeria has thought about secession. “No ethnic group is morally superior to another,” he added. “Let us unite and build our country together.”
