The Igbo apex socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, said it was not ready to join in the clamour for the zone to produce the senate president.
It stated that the organisation remained dissatisfied with the outcome of the presidential election, in which the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, came third.
Obi garnered 6,101,533 votes, while the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, scored 6,984,520, and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to emerge as the winner.
While speaking with our correspondent, the spokesperson of the Igbo group, Alex Ogbonna, said, “Ohanaeze has not really come out of the shock of Peter Obi and we have not decided to talk about senate presidency. We are still interested in following the case of the presidential election to a logical conclusion. At the end of the day, we will know the next line of action but Ohanaeze does not want to get involved in discussion about that.”
