Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has ruled out the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as capable enough to rule Nigeria from 2023.
The veteran Nollywood actor bared his mind in an interview with the BBC Igbo on the political calculations for 2023.
He said: “Many people like Tinubu are too old and too weak to run for the presidency.
“He has been in power for a long time until he was made the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“But he should leave the position for those who are younger and healthier.
“Let’s be honest.
“Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba are the major ethnic groups in the country.
“Only once in the history of Nigeria has an Igbo person become the head of state in Nigeria.
“Why has power not returned to the South East people?
“Is there a plot by the political elites to sideline the South East?
“I’ve lived in the North.
“I speak Hausa.
“But it’s long overdue for Nigeria to have a leader of Igbo extraction.”
