Igbo Presidency Without Restructuring Will Not End Ethnic Agitations – Ohanaeze by murphyibiam15(m): 3:34pm On Feb 02, 2017 |
By Peter Okutu ABAKALIKI-THE Igbo apex body, Ohaneze Ndigbo Thursday insisted that Igbo Presidency without restructuring the nation’s political sphere will still not end the agitations coming from various ethnic groups across the country. The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr. Uche Achi-Okaga, who in a statement issued in Abakaliki, explained that Ohaneze was an organized and focused organization added that no amount of propaganda on issue of Igbo presidency would distract it from pursuing its core mandate of protecting the welfare and interest of Ndigbo in every part of the country. According to the group, Ohaneze will not identify with any political party that is not in tandem with the call for the restructuring of the country. The statement read in part: “Mind you that in Ohaneze we are focused, so that one cannot use the issue of Igbo presidency to distract us. On restructuring we stand. Igbo presidency without restructuring will make little or no difference neither would the various ethnic agitations cease. “Defection of some Igbo personalities to the All Progressive Congress, APC, is of no relevance to Ohaneze. One can defect to Heaven or hell but Ndigbo will not identify with any political party that is not in marriage with restructuring. “Governor Okorocha can speak for Imo APC or the government of Imo State, but he is not in a good stead to speak for Ndigbo. “On the rumoured death of the President, God forbid that we should wish anybody death because death is like an identity card which we all have with its attendant expiry date. “However, if you occupy a public position maintained with tax payers money (including but not limited to medical trips) it behooves that you should account to them in all ramifications. The presidential Aids who are keeping mum on the President’s health condition are severely owing Nigerians that obligation. “It smells to high heavens that even the Minister of Information (who is also paid with tax payers money) cannot inform Nigerians on the issue. Instead, he prefers to tell us about the stale news of ‘information about Book Haram. “The issue affecting Apostle Suleiman suggests that the truth is hidden. We read in the tabloids that Northern Governors said the rampaging herdsmen are foreigners, non of the security agencies refuted or questioned the Governors. “Now does it mean that we should allow foreigners to come and be killing Nigerians? We demand an explanation even as we condemn violence and inciting words or actions”. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/02/igbo-presidency-without-restructuring-will-not-end-ethnic-agitations-ohanaeze-ndigbo/ lalasticlala mynd44 |

I support this position 100%. If Nigeria must progress, we must address these issues from the root. |

Ohaneze Ndigbo has spoken well. Clamouring for Igbo presidency on this present status quo is unwise, ungodly, and very snaring to the Igbo spirit. All we want is equity for all and in the absence of that parting to chart a new course could be our only option. |

With the present status quo, nobody fit rule Nigeria successfully, the template (constitution) in which Nigeria is operating on is a fraud, the only thing that can bring Nigeria out of her quagmire is total restructuring. |
