A chieftain of the All Prrpgessives Congress and Director General, Voice of Nigeria , Osita Okechukwu, on Sunday, appealed to the two dominant political parties to adopt Falae/Obasanjo model by fielding Igbo presidential candidates come 2023.
While advocating for a national consensus on Igbo presidency as recipe to create sense of belonging and save Nigeria’s threatened democracy, the VON DG said the only pragmatic answer to peaceful 2023 presidential election “is the Falae/Obasanjo Model.” Asked to explain what he means by Falae/Obasanjo Model, when there are discordant tunes to such model from many quarters, especially from the Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu axis, Okechukwu said:
“Yes the North over history has huge votes and Atiku and Tinubu have huge war chests; but don’t forget that the huge votes of the North was there in 1999 and eminent people with huge war chest were also there in 1999 – when Dr Alex Ekwueme, Alhaji Adamu Ciroma , Dr Olusola Saraki, Dr Ogbonnia Onu, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi and Aljhaji Abubakar Rimi of blessed memory – were persuaded to allow the Falae/Obasanjo Model because of national unity.
