Sam Amadi, a former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has said Igbo people of the South-East may never produce someone to occupy the position of President of Nigeria.

According to him, they might have no realistic path to the presidency in 2027, 2031 or even 2035.

In a post on X on Friday, Amadi urged the region to focus on economic growth and strengthening its influence across Nigeria and globally.

“May be South-East has no chance at all, whether in 2027, 2031 or 2035 , just as Jews never have in the US. We can focus on building South-East and prospering across Nigeria and the world,” he wrote.

The policy expert also questioned the value of the Nigerian presidency, describing it as an avenue for personal enrichment.

“By the way, what has been the worth of Nigerian presidency? Just another opportunity for some people to steal a varnishing wealth as they are doing now,” Amadi added.
