Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo says he is supporting an Igbo Presidency in 2023.

Chief Obasanjo stated this while receiving a 2023 Presidential aspirant, Mao Ohuabunwa in Abeokuta.

He explained that it was time for reconciliation in Nigeria by supporting a president from the Southeast region to emerge in 2023.

The former president pointed out that southeasterners could bring a lot to the table if elected.

“Beyond bringing unity to Nigeria or being the cement that holds Nigeria together, I believe that Southeasterners can model hard work and entrepreneurship.

“This will help in wealth creation and fight against poverty, which is ravaging Nigeria,” Obasanjo said

He however warned Ohuabunwa that running for Presidency is a tough job.
