Yes o
Let them go with their presidency we don’t need it again, this is the means they want BIAFRANS to stop agitating but I don’t think it will work for them because Igbos have been maltreated enough, so now they want freedom and that they (IGBOS) must get, there is no two ways about it.

Whether agitation for 2023 for presidency or Biafra all what we need is peace in our country, we shouldn’t let our unification jeopardize with sentiment or selfishness, government should look for a way to tackle or settle our differences for the progress of one nation. May God have mercy on us.

Sit at home is not the solution for our problems, our leaders will just behave like they are less concerned. Unless we troop out enmass to register our agitation they won’t listen to us. If government could provide amenities that we need for us it will suppress every agitations.

But anyone who can so mobilize the Igbo would alienate the rest of Nigeria. For the Igbo grassroots to give any politician the kind of support they currently give to Nnamdi Kanu, that politician ought to have by now identified with the struggle for Biafra. The main reason the Igbo masses fanatically support Mazi Kanu is that he identifies with Biafra and has dedicated his life to pursuing it. Were Kanu today to abandon the struggle for Biafra, the same Igbo masses for sure would withdraw their support from him. So, the truth which the Igbo elite don’t want to face and side with is that the vast majority of Igbos want and, in fact, need Biafra. And the reason is obvious: they’re intent on safeguarding their access to the national feeding trough. This of course means that the current Igbo political office bearers aren’t Igbo leaders in any meaningful sense. A leader is one who identifies with the cause of his people and LEADS it. For the Igbo, that cause is clear: IT IS BIAFRA. Quite frankly, I can’t see that an Igbo Presidency would do Igbos any real good, beyond the purely cosmetic and symbolic. That Igbo President would be unable to do anything bold without the North agreeing to it. More importantly he’d be unable to restructure Nigeria in the way Igbos want. And, don’t forget that the army wouldn’t be loyal to him — there simply are no Igbos in the Nigerian Military. In fact, the North would be very antagonistic toward him and be very belicose in their opposition. If he ever dared them they’d simply kill him in a coup. Such a President would feel very insecure and be far too trepid to achieve anything meaningful for non-Northerners, let alone for the Igbos. The Igbo Presidency is truly a distraction from the cause we Igbos should be pursuing, which is either Biafra or a truly Confederal Structure. The Igbo Presidency is only a nice-to-have; it isn’t at all necessary. Pro-Biafra organisations, rather than stop stop their agitation for Biafra, should ratchet it up.
