According to Ojike, the south-east’s position in Nigeria’s political chessboard in 2023 would be determined by the forthcoming polls.

He added: “The Igbo nation should learn to collaborate with other zones to achieve their aim of producing Nigerian president in 2023.
“All hands should be on deck to achieve this noble objective, since the zone cannot do it alone.”
