AS President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign rally continued in the South-East, the political issues that bedevilled the Igbo came to the fore with the crack in the ranks of the apex pan Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo rearing its ugly head.

President Buhari visited Abia and Imo States yesterday in continuation of the Presidential campaign rally of the APC.

Recall, the Chief John Nnia Nwodo-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo had last week announced the endorsement of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as his running mate.

However, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Uche Okwukwu, who allegedly had earlier expressed a dissenting view from that of his chairman, called on Ndigbo to vote for Buhari, the APC Presidential candidate.

The second endorsement was by the chairman of Aba Traditional Council, His Royal Majesty, Dr Isaac Ikonne, Enyi 1 of Aba, who called on all indigenes of Abia State to vote for Buhari, the APC Presidential candidate.

Okwukwu announced that the adoption of President Buhari as the true Ohanaeze candidate who will be formally recognised as such at a coming event at the Aso Rock Villa.

He said the Igbo people would “remain loyal and committed to President Buhari for the payment of pensions to ex-Biafran security personnel; for the administration’s policy on ease of doing business,” which, the traditional ruler said, had benefited the Igbo more than any other ethnic group, and “the massive infrastructural development going on throughout the South-East.”

He said: “You love Nigeria and you need to return to consolidate your fight against the monster called corruption and to take us to the next level. I want to assure you that Aba and Abians and indeed all Igbos will massively vote for you.”

On his part, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, welcomed the existing “synergy” between the federal government and his state which he said, had come with enormous gains that are cherished by the government and the people.

Nice

Money speaking
I wonder how much they were paid

O se ti go

I go na ife neme

And you need a seer to intimate you on the fact that the man has been a recipient of the Apc largesse?

The Ohaneze stands with Atiku and conspicuously so do the ndi igbos.

its always been a project...

sai ya koma!

If its not Nwodo's Ohaneze, its not ohanaeze... these ones are just political jobbers looking for the next meal.

Good. Uche Okwukwu is a man that has a mind of his own. It is good that he is distancing himself from that dubious endorsement by Ohaneze.

Ohane ego

One thing is Igbos are not like people from the other side of waste,where those who call themselves leaders are controlling them like zombies.

Ohaneze the group whose motivation is anywhere belle face / where money is involved?

I'm not surprised
