The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos State, Most Reverend Alfred Adewale-Martins, has stated that Nigeria's next president should be from the South-East region.
The cleric, who spoke at the weekend during the 2021 Catholic Women Organisation of Nigeria meeting in Lagos said President Muhammadu Buhari's successor must be an Igbo man.Adewale-Martins noted that other zones have occupied the number one position except the South-East. Adewale-Martins insisted that the system of government Nigeria’s founding fathers wanted is not being practised.
“The disenchantment of the citizens speaks volume of our dysfunctional system of federalism laced with the Nigerian factor as against the true practice,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted him as saying.While urging women and youths to use their numbers to make a difference, Adewale-Martins urged stakeholders in politics to always ensure “good persons” emerged as flag bearers.
The problem isn't where they should be from. All we want is leader Wey get sense and actually cares for all part of the country and its people equally.
We don't need the presidency please and thanks for being vocal. We need our own Country where every Biafrans will enjoy good roads, steady power supply, good healthcare system,steady water supply, quality education and others. At least basis social amenities.
We do not want
To hell with zoo presidency We need not that useless post in zoo All we need is BIAFRA
And from Abia state and from Umuiah and must be a catholic, must be a PhD holder. Since we must narrow it down way before the election.
Is there your wish or God said and ita a paid ad
You're speaking like a baby.... False people everywhere
Yes
I don't even see reason for this zoning thing, all we want is someone with vision, im not saying from the north oo! Dem don try with Nigeria as kitchen practice.
....as for me, on Oduduwa and Biafra republic I stand forever and ever. I support Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho and any other fighting for the same course!! Disintegration of that evil British franchise is a task that must be done!! We move.
I think it's late for Igbos be pacified with a mere presidency 🤣. Its over 40 yrs the civil war ended and you are saying this now? If the presidency comes to Southern Nig will the likes of Tinubu agree for Igbo presidency? North will further divide Southern Nig more with this.
Why not come and be the president.. otelectuals zoo slave
It was done in ‘99 when Olu Falae and Obasanjo was the only contenders from D biggest opposition parties. Our leaders knew this can be done by producing APC/PDP SE’s candidates. dunno Y some don’t understand what equity/fairness/Justice means. HE God bless u
Bishop your people from SW go vex for this talk ooo especial BMC SW -
Mumu will president stop what is happening in Nigeria
Tinubu don dey wear red cap since last week. 😃
Please keep your presidency to yourself. What we Biafran want is referendum to determine our Biafra exit from the zoo called Nigeria.
Thank God, at least Arch didn't claim God showed nor told him. Na personal opinion, he has right to say his mind.
Pls don't support the east for presidency. We are not interested in any Igbo presidency. All we need is Biafra and Biafra we must get
Reading the comments and I noticed even fellow southerners especially those with Yoruba names has but negative things to say about this. Yet they are suppose to support their fellow southern region, knowing the truth but no Yoruba can never stop being a snake in green grass
Yes talking is cheap, how about you spending the money to support a candidate as Politrics is very expensive and not as cheap as talking.
While we appreciate d position of d Lagos Archbishop he shld understand dt he is 40yrs behind time What d SE actually needs at this point is Biafra & nothing less Fulani Caliphate can keep d presidency of Nigeria & whatever remains of it
We need REFERENDUM not president.....
a true just man of God can not be bought, not like Bakare who is unstable as water
Ofochebe We want Biafra.
Why?
Pls stop mocking the struggle of IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi kanu. We want our separate Republic,our own country. How can we sacrifice such number of men and women of Biafrans just for president of zoo. separation is everlasting solution to Nigeria problem. I love my Biafra deeply
Shame on him if this is what he has to say at this critical time
Soro soke my Bishop
I strongly support this ..
Thank you sir for the offer but we need our own country call Biafra, thanks once again cause u are the only one that spoke the truth..
So you are leaving priestly work , now putting your mouth in politics
Biafrans are not intrested in your presidency, hold it to yourselves. Referendum loading for Biafrans
Yes oooo
Plz a question for the Bishop if they give east the ticket can the whole east give that party 90 Percent vote , if they can’t you can’t expect north ,south and west to do the work , the whole east are not United they don’t speak with one voice .
I remember Bishop Adewale Martins when I was at St. Bernedette Nursery & Primary Abeokuta Ogun State many years ago. He’s now an Archbishop?

I hope govt can't sack him sha.
I totally concur
xtobaba9 This one is still talking about one Nigeria... Omase oo..
Are you for real?
South East don't need the position anymore, they're no longer interested all they want is Biafra, chikina.
This is not the solution for now, let the authority conduct referendum to determine if each zone want to go together before talking of how to rule themselves.
1. Oct21: S/East 'll Not Contain Us If Kanu Not Released Unconditional - IPOB Leader to SE Leaders. The Great Leader of IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will appear in court on 21st of oct 2021, few days from now.We are telling S/East Leaders that If Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not unconditionally
OK.
We biafrans said no
No longer from God and Prophecy again?
That's if the regular rest wants things to turn around for good. The true nationalists and capable hands are from there.
Are they ready to rule? If yes who among indigbo will come out like Tinubu and Osinbajo. Instead of boldness they are messing up themselves. Nonsense
Igbos not interested in nigeria presidency. Biafra we stand no going back. Give us a referendum to determine our faith in the zoo Republic of nigeria.
Fada face front pliss. when its bible issue we'll call you 😐
Paul2586048833 Who's talking about election in the east
I am a southern Christian and I detest the very mention of zoning or 'allowing'! How many other things will we have to beg the northerners to 'allow' us do? If we are serious as a people who want to develop, we must find the democratically accepted means of electing who we want
That will be good and okay
Will that save anything? BIAFRA referendum is all we ask, nothing more
Referendum is what we want , SW and the north can keep the presidency
oga bishop, With due respect sir. We Biafrans don't want any Presidency. All what we want is Total freedom. The state of BIAFRA. We can never live with this terrorist entity again. We have crossed the point of no return. FreeMaziNnamdiKanu
Biafa instead.
Because we are scared of them right 🤡🤡
Nkan ti onje l'onje ki o pe maalu ni broda. Ole, omo ale oloriburuku. Oya o, it is time for Martins to be transferred to the SE!
If the presidency should come from the SE? for what reason exactly? Let the region who are ready be given the opportunity not the online trouble makers
Keep this una PRESIDENT AND GIVE THE SOUTHEAST WHAT THEY WANT. REFERENDUM IS A 50/50 CHANCE TO BOTH PARTIES. WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SCARED WHEN YOU GUYS KNOW THAT MANY LIKE ME WILL VOTE TO REMAIN. AFTER AFGHANISTAN NIGERIA IS NEXT ON LINE. EndNigeriaNow FreeNnamdiKanu
