2023 election: Ohanaeze vows to go all out for Igbo presidency

The apex Igbo socio-cultural group who stated this in a press statement added that the Igbo people would not for any reason be compelled to become an inferior tribe but would as in politics lobby other regions for support and alliance for the presidency come 2023.

Speaking through the Secretary-General of the group, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Ohanaeze worldwide reiterated that 2023 elections will be peaceful and heal the political ailments and security maladies in Nigeria if an Igbo will be supported to succeed President Buhari.

“But on the contrary, any imposition, manipulation, or ethnic dominance against the South especially the old Eastern Nigeria may spell doom for the country and will fuel chaos and disintegration of the country.

” We watched keenly as juveniles of darkness and elders of marauders take on Revered Igbo Elder statesman Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife over his standpoint on 2023, IGBO will never kneel for anyone to be President in 2023, we will explore all options available before us, as there are ongoing backstage engagements and negotiations on the way with all sections of the country especially with the real owners of the North”.

“Our suspicions were reinforced by the way Northern groups especially ACF (Arewa Consultative Forum) and NEF( Northern Elders Forum) are agitated whenever issues arise that will favour the Igbo, we are aware of the ugly patterns adopted by ACF and NEF to discredit, undermine and thwart benefits or schemes that will favour the East”

“We have traditional allies in the North, but we will trace to the root the matter, why northern leadership resort to blackmail, confrontation with crooked offensive onslaughts against the southeast irrespective of the level of development and investment Igbo had brought to the north, whatever it takes, Igbo will not kneel before any group, rather it’s the North should be on their knees begging for an Igbo for President in 2023, after all, North had failed to resuscitate herself to normalcy from the self-inflicted wounds of insecurity which was imported by them for political purposes”

“Kneeling is a Northern cultural way of life and forbidden to Eastern Nigeria, the only way we can continue to work as one Nigeria is for the North to champion for an Igbo for 2023, there’s no other tribe that will rebuild the North than Igbo, there is no other tribe with a huge population, investments and had contributed in the past for the progress and development of the North except the Igbo.

“With these pieces of evidence and facts about Igbo being partners in progress and traditional allies to the North, there is nothing to lose or fear for the North to discard the rise of Biafra agitators who are reacting to the nepotism and security threats to the east, these will fizzle out immediately an Igbo succeed Buhari in 2023”.
