Backing Tinubu In 2027 Shortest Way To Igbo Presidency –Gov Soludo
Anambra state’s Governor Charles Soludo says supporting President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid could be the shortest way for Igbo and the South-East to achieve its dream of Nigerian presidency in the future.
Soludo spoke his mind at a function recently.
Speaking in the Igbo tongue, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said backing Tinubu in the 2027 election could encourage other regions to support an Igbo presidential candidate when power returned to the South.
He counseled that the South-East support the incumbent Southern President, noting that power would shift to the North after Tinubu’s tenure before eventually returning to the South in eight years afterwards.
“You have to engage in discussions. Now that it is a Southerner holding the power, it’s remaining four years. It is now left for us (Igbos) to support him so that when it goes to the North and comes back, we can now trust that every Southerner and Northerner will support us,” he said.
