South-South Bureau Chief, JUDE OSSAI, writes on the efforts of various groups of the Igbo extraction in the unending quest for the realisation of the Igbo presidency project in 2023. It was in this spirit that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the umbrella body of Igbo socio-cultural associations, is pursuing both the Igbo presidency and restructuring simultaneously. According to Jonah, “The purveyors of the idea of Igbo presidency are politicians with vested interest.

He believes that the Igbo presidency project is a work in progress and it must be worked for in order to be earned.
