The National President, Alhaji Mohammed Umaru, who made appeal at a news briefing in Umuahia, described the Igbo people as accommodating.
Umaru harped on the unity of the country and stated that it was important to support the Igbo people actualise their presidential ambition come 2023.
According to him, the group is a non-political organisation, made up of members from all the northern states living in the South-East geo-political zone.
“The North, West and South-South have all ruled the nation as executive president.“This is the time we should give our consent for an Igbo executive president. Our people should give the benefit of the doubt to lead the country in the next political dispensation and if they perform well we can allow them a second chance”, he said.
