A pro-President Muhammadu Buhari group, PMB Solidarity Movement has declared that the people of the South-East must show availability to realize their quest to produce Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction.
They made the declaration during the inauguration of the Enugu State chapter of the group, where Comrade Adolphus Ude emerged as State convener.
There have been clamours for the next President of Nigeria to emerge from Igbo land when Buhari’s tenure expires in 2023.
However, Patron of the PMB Solidarity Movement and a former guber candidate in Enugu State, Rev. Oscar Egwuonwu said it was not enough for the Igbo to show ability.
He said for the Igbo to realize the 2023 presidency, “it is not about ability but about availability; we need to be available, we need to come all out.”
On the reason behind the Buhari Movement, Egwuonwu said, “It is to continue his legacy when he is out and for the Igbos to rally round and give him support everywhere.
