Justifying why the Igbo should produce the president in 2023, the stakeholders said outside the south-east, the Igbo constitute 30 to 40 per cent of the population of their host communities.
He added that the Igbo man lives peacefully, contributes to the economic growth of his host community and in most cases, develop his host community more than his native home community.
The group said that it is regrettable that this fine gesture has not been reciprocated by giving the Igbo their rightful position in the country.
The INSA also lamented that major political parties has failed to give Igbo a level playing ground during their primary elections.
