A prominent Igbo monarch and the paramount ruler of Abriba ancient kingdom in Abia State, HRM Eze Kalu Kalu Ogbu (Enachioken Abriba), described the position of Sanusi and Bakare as hypocritical and unjust, arguing that it is the turn of the South East to produce the President in 2023.
According to him, “it’s people like Sanusi and Bakare that are part of the problem of this great country.
“These are great men who have a good influence on the public but all expectations from them appear misplaced.
“I would have expected them to stand on the path of truth, justice and fair play. Trying to justify injustice can’t fly.
“Trying to change the goal post now that it is the turn of the Igbo nation to produce the next president is unacceptable and cannot be explained away by flowery unassuming words.
“Justice demands that it is the turn of the Igbo to produce the president. Anything short of this is injustice that cannot be allowed to stand by any true Patriot.
“I know that Sanusi and Bakare know a number of Igbo people who have impeccable character that can do the job now.
“Let us all join hands and pick the right Igbo man that can work with others to rescue this nation and return us to our rightful place among comity of nations.”
