The President of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife has disclosed the main reason why there is no prominent political figure in the South East that is openly standing for Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 presidential election, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.
Speaking to newsmen in an interview, the Former Anambra state governor said there are a lot of problems behind the scenes which they are trying to tackle.
According to him, there are some politicians that are planting bad ideas to their people in the villages regarding Igbo presidency.
“Some of the politicians are planting ideas in the minds of village people that the Igbo has something wrong with them.” he disclosed.
He further said the idea of not supporting Obi is for the rest of the country not to see him as an Igbo president.
Hear him ” They are not shy about coming out, but, as you know, there are problems. We don’t want the rest of the nation to think that Obi is the only Igbo candidate and Igbo alone.”
