Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers state governor, on Friday declared that he was Igbo and could speak the language while President Goodluck Jonathan whose other name is Azikiwe could not.
Speaking before a crowd of supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Aba, Abia state, Amaechi said: I am a bona fide Igbo man.
"My name is Amaechi, but President Jonathan who says his name is Azikiwe cannot speak the Igbo language."
"He says his name Ebele; let him speak Igbo and let us see."
Meanwhile, Muhammadu Buhari, who was given the title of Ogbuagu 1 by the traditional ruler of Aba, emphasised that security and the economy remained the key issues in his campaign.
He extolled the entrepreneurial abilities of the Igbo, assuring them that his government would create jobs through farming and mining for the unskilled youth while local entrepreneurs would be encouraged.
"The Igbo people ARE hardworking and my government would do everything possible to ensure that the people are empowered," he said.
"The main concern of the APC is to make sure there are no idle Nigerian youths roaming the streets without jobs."
