Igbos outside the southeastern part of Nigeria have been disqualified from contesting the presidential position in the 2023 election.
This is according to former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, a popular advocate of Igbo presidency in 2023.
Anyim reportedly made the statement of disqualification while delivering a lecture at the 6th World Igbo Summit at Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State.
According to him, Igbos from states such Benue, Delta, Edo and Rivers cannot contest for the presidency.
Anyim was quoted as saying: “Political office zoned to the Southeast does not extend to Igbos from a zone outside the Southeast political zone.”
The lecture was titled “Identifying the political interest of the Igbos of the Southeast geo-Political zone in Nigeria and Strategies for Its actualization.”
