2023: Kingsley Moghalu Moves against ‘Igbo Presidency’

: Kingsley Moghalu Moves against ‘Igbo Presidency’.

The Former presidential aspirant in the 2019 general elections, Kingsley Moghalu has heavily condemned the use of the phrase ‘Igbo Presidency’.

The economist in a post on his Twitter account on Monday, December 21 noted that the focus should be on having a President from the Southeast instead of using the phrase ‘Igbo presidency’.

He opined, ’emphasizing the ethnic origin without the national context is the wrong emphasis.’

Moghalu said he was not sure if the ‘Fulani presidency’ had done anything good for the country, and hence Nigerians, Southeastern people especially, should focus on the race to produce the country’s next leader from the region rather than using the phrase which he considers as problematic.

See the tweet below;

“The phrase “Igbo presidency” is problematic. We should speak of a Nigerian President from the Southeast. Not sure what good the “Fulani presidency” has done the country, including the north. Emphasizing the ethnic origin without the national context is the wrong emphasis.”
