GIST!

Nollywood actress Cossy Ojiakor during a chat session with Potpourri, expressed her opinion over Peter Obi’s loss at the recently concluded Nigerian Presidential polls. She also had a word of advise for the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in respect of the Igbos and their expectations.

She said, “I personally supported Peter Obi to usher in the much-needed change in Nigeria. My biggest hope was hinged on Peter Obi establishing a seaport and an airport in Southeast. The only problem of Igbo is the seaport and airport. That was the hope we had with Obi. If Tinubu can actually create a seaport in Asaba or Anambra, he will be worshipped.

"When Igbo spare parts dealers said they want to relocate to the East, I wonder how they can survive without a seaport as the only seaport that works in Nigeria is in Lagos. I was even a polling unit agent during the last election, I don’t have to tell you what went down. But Tinubu is a father. If he can do this to develop Nigeria and decongest Lagos, Igbos will peacefully go home and sell their business there.”
