2019 Presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed how he will recompense the Igbos of the South-East if he becomes the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The new generation politician, who is currently holding town hall meetings across the country over his political ambition said he is going to give the Igbos a sense of belonging by firstly apologizing on behalf of the country for the way they have been maltreated during and after the Nigerian civil war.
Speaking in a gathering of people who turned out to welcome him to Ibadan during his visit to Oyo state, Sowore said: “From the bottom of my heart, the Igbo man has not just be marginalised, the Igbo man has been trampled upon, their children killed, starved in the civil war and ever since then Nigeria has managed not to pay attention to Igboland. But the Igbo man and his spirit has managed to built for himself the spirit that conquers the world. I will say to you that first and foremost when I become president I’m going to apologize to the Igbos on behalf of Nigeria”, he said amidst applause that greeted his response.”
