The Conference of Igbo Professionals Worldwide (COIPOW) has called for the emergence of a president of Igbo extraction in the 2023 elections, saying it is time to achieve that.

This is as the group condemned the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and urged governors of the South East region, Ohaneze Ndigbo and well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters to oppose the proscribed group by denouncing it.

The National President, COIPOW, Prof. Patrick Kalu and National Secretary, Dr Uche Mbaka, said in Abuja that the so-called Eastern Security Network (ESN) set up by Kanu was illegal and expressed fear that the militia outfit might worsen the insecurity of the South East if not immediately stopped.

They said nobody would take them seriously if they failed to take urgent steps to set the record straight by outrightly denouncing the activities of IPOB and its founder.
