Olusegun Obasanjo said "he want igbos to contest for presidency in the next election".Check out his reasons


Former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has urged Igbos to contest for the presidency in 2019.He stated this when he hosted the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ogun State chapter, at his Abeokuta Hilltop residence on Tuesday.



Obasanjo said he was in support of the return to regional governance, as it will solve the problem of marginalization.He also said the people of Ogun West senatorial district, should be allowed to produce the next Governor. “Irrespective of the thinking of the people ahead of 2019, I personally think that South-East should have a go at the Presidency too.”The same is happening here. If Ijebu and Egba have produced the governor, it is only fair and just to allow the Yewa or Ogun West to also produce governor. Or else, one day, they will also stand up and take up arms against this injustice against them. That is my personally position on this,” Obasanjo said.

Speaking on the crisis in Southern Kaduna, the former president said: “My findings so far show that everyone is talking from the position of strength. People are not talking from knowledge of what they know and this is not helping. We must be able to dump all our sentiments to overcome the challenges. “Just like other cases of injustice around us, we need peace; it is only peace with justice that can solve all these crises. Genuine peace is what everyone is craving for and this can only come when there is justice.”
