Despising Kanu will spell doom for Igbo Presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIgbo Presidency and agitation for Biafra are odd bedmates. The Igbos must soft pedalled on their agitations if they must have headway in respect of the Presidency,\u201d the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, chieftain told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Igbo leaders must have to bring Kanu on the table. This may seem to be unreasonable but it\u2019s imperative that the Igbo leaders must get Kanu involved or else Igbo Presidency will be a total failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe average Igbos believe in Kanu more than the Igbo leaders. Kanu is a force to reckon with, when you talk about Igbo politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I\u2019ve earlier on stated, I\u2019ve made up my mind to end the marginalization in nine months of being sworn in as Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t understand Igbos when you are far from them. Having lived in Igbo land for more than two decades, I sincerely believe I have what it takes to move Nigeria to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s tell ourselves the truth, Igbos started nationalism. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, of blessed memory, remains one of the foremost nationalist in the entire political history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo leader will neglect them and have a successful administration. Check it up from the regimes and administrations so far, any administration that gives Igbos opportunities will always excel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheck up IBB regime, Obasanjo regime, Yar\u2019adua regime. They were outstanding administrations because they fully recognized the igbos .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny administration that abandons them don\u2019t fare well economically and politically. This is just a fact that can be verified. The igbos will be well taken care of during my administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
