According to the governor, the Southwest could support an Igbo candidate at the appropriate time if the Southeast backs Tinubu’s second-term bid.
The Southeast has long sought the presidency, with former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi contesting the position in the 2023 general election under the Labour Party.
Obi finished third in the election but maintained that he had won and that his victory had been denied.
