2023: I’ll support Yahaya Bello, I don’t believe in Igbo presidency – MASSOB leader, Uwazuruike

 


Leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has said that he does not believe in the president of Igbo extraction, adding that the 2023 presidential election should be thrown open.


Uwazuruike stated this when Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC), visited him in Owerri, Imo.


The MASSOB leader, who is also the founder of the Biafran Independent Movement (BIM) said if Nigeria’s sovereignty must be upheld, the idea of an Igbo president should be discarded.


Uwazuruike advised Nigerians and party leaders to shun zoning, as it had no place in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


He added that his group would support Bello to become the next president of Nigeria because he had the leadership qualities to lead Nigeria effectively.


He noted that power should go to the best in the race, adding that the Kogi governor remained the best for the job.


“All Nigerians should rally around the youthful governor. We are supporting Bello for this and no one else. That he has the capacity to solve the problem of insecurity and a host of others facing the nation is not in doubt.


“This is a crucial time in the history of the country. We must give youths a chance, especially one that has demonstrated uncommon capacity, in the person of Yahaya Bello,” he said.


The MASSOB leader led some South-East youths in a solidarity march for Bello 2023 presidential bid. The procession which started from his house in Owerri, saw youths marching through the streets, carrying different placards, with inscriptions such as “Power to the Youths, Support Yahaya Bello, “Youths Can Also Lead”, and “Yahaya Bello for the Youths”, among others.


They made it clear that the only solution to Nigeria’s political quagmire was for power to go to the youths.


According to them, in this regard, Bello is the right fit for the position of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
