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

He urged Igbos not to repeat the “costly mistake” they made in 2015 when they failed to vote for Buhari, while expressing regret that the south-east geopolitical zone had the lowest voting strength in the country.

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.”

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
