1. Peter Obi
2. Ogbonnaya Onu
3. Chris Ngige
4. Senator Rochas Okorochas,

6. Senators Orji Uzor Kalu,
7. Ike Ekeremadu
8. Eyinnaya Abaribe

The president of the group said the IPSC will engage in further consultation to discuss and examine the characters and integrity of the eleven nominated personalities from the south-east zone. He said the group will adopt a candidate after the final selection process.
IPSC urged people of the southeast geo-political zone to embrace the path of peace and unity to realize the Igbo presidency.
In another news report, the minister of labor and productivity, Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige, has said that the 2023 Igbo presidency project was realizable.
