Billionaire oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, has mentioned it is going to take God for an Igbo man to turn out to be Nigeria’s President.
In accordance with him, the Igbo folks don’t love one other and will not be united.
Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Eze suggested the Ndigbo to not crave for a President of Igbo extraction however a President who would champion their interest no matter his tribe.
He spoke to journalists in Ukpo, Anambra State, on Sunday, during a church service.
He declared that he would support a good leader as Nigerian President no matter the person’s ethnic group.
Eze said, “For the Igbo to be President, they must love themselves. Do they love themselves? The North is very kind. If you go to northern Nigerian, you will see churches everywhere. There are churches in Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Abuja and others yet they say there is hatred. Do we (Igbo) love ourselves?
“Only God can make an Igbo man President. We shall pray to God to find an Igbo man who has character to help people. I would prefer someone who has conscience; somebody who will remember me. I don’t care where you come from.
“I went to the North, they didn’t know who I was. They gave me $12m for the construction of Kano TV in 1980. I didn’t have one naira then. It was the same thing in Katsina, Borno and Kaduna. Then, they put me in oil business. They didn’t care where I came from. Tell me any Igbo man who can do that?”
