A group
known as Anambra State Association Worldwide (ASAW) has appealed to Nigerians
to give Igbo a chance to lead the country for eight years.
According
to the group, for sake of justice, fairness and the rule of law, the present
administration of president Mohammdu Buhari should hand over power to the South
East after completing his tenure, saying the region was fully prepared in all
ramifications to to take up the mantle of leadership.
The
General President of the group, Dr. Nwachukwu Anakwenze, disclosed this shortly
after the group’s empowerment and free medical outreach in Abbagana, Njikoka
local government area of Anambra state where over 500 people received free
medical treatment.
He said
that the best decision Nigerians could take this time to sustain the already
established democracy in the country was to intensify advocacy for the Igbo man
to succeed President Buhari.
He also
appealled to those who are aspiring to be president from other regions that
have tested the number one seat to step down their ambitions and allow the
South East get its turn for eight years. (Daily Trust)
