National publicity secretary of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, in the early hours of Monday, asked a former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, to shelve his touted 2023 presidential bid to preserve Nigeria’s corporate existence.
In an open letter to Tinubu, he counsel Tinubu to key into the Igbo presidency in 2023 cause, stressing that posterity would be kind of him if he toed the “path of reason, conscience and equity” on the matter.
Describing the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader as a strategic thinker with a formidable frontier spirit, Ogbonnia noted in the document titled: Open Letter to His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” that his fear was that Tinubu would be embarking on a political adventure that lacks conscience and principle if he contests for the presidency.
His words: “In the past, Ahmed Bola Tinubu would have concerned himself with the cause of the agitation in the South-East and the solution thereof, but because of the obsession to become a president, it does appear that the more turbulent the South-East the better for the Jagaban. This is morally reprehensible. However, I have my fears that Tinubu is embarking on a political adventure that lacks both conscience and principle.
