Sam Ohuabunwa, has said his ambition to contest in the 2023 presidential election is not motivated by the clamour for a president of Igbo extraction.

He said his ambition is motivated by his competence, adding that he’s ready to compete with the best in the country., monitored by our correspondent on Tuesday.

When asked why he declared his ambition, Ohuabunwa said, “I haven’t come because I feel I am Igbo. I have come because I’m a competent Nigerian who has lived in this nation and who has had the privilege of enjoying a good nation. But I see that the country that we are leaving behind for our children is not the country our parents left behind for us. So, we need to change the narrative.

“Of course, in Nigeria, everybody speaks about equity, justice and fair play, and in the party that I am, the PDP, rotation of power is what they have agreed to do. In Nigeria, we think about power-sharing, power rotation and federal character. These things speak about ownership in a country where you have diverse people, cultures, ethnicity and religion. It makes sense to often plan on how you can make sure that every section of the country has an opportunity.
