The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Victor Oye, has said going by the pattern of voting in last Saturday’s presidential poll in the South-East, the possibility of the Igbo producing the President of the country in 2023 is dicey.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday in Amawbia, near Awka, the Anambra State capital, Oye blamed the Igbo for always putting their “eggs in one basket.”
The South-East geopolitical zone voted overwhelmingly for the PDP in the election.
He said, “For me, I believe the Igbo play more of politics of emotion than politics of pragmatism. They are not realistic; they always pander to emotionalism.
“Everything to them is all about a particular interest. Once they make up their mind to go towards a particular direction, that is where a sizeable number of them will go.
“So, I’m not optimistic about 2023 Igbo presidency going by what has happened now.”
He said the Igbo should come together as a people to discuss their common interest.
He added, “Their common problem is unity. They cannot always come together and they are easily swayed by extraneous things as demonstrated in the last two elections of 2015 and 2019.
“Igbo should realign themselves and re-determine the options before them. From what happened last Saturday, the Igbo people worked as a team; but in the end, they lost. They won the battle and lost the war.
“Ndigbo need to play at the national level and not ethnocentric regional politics, knowing that Nigeria is a monolithic political structure.”
