Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo youth wing has warned politicians from the area to consider the present security situation in the South East as more paramount than lobbying to be nominated as running mates to presidential candidates.

Addressing journalists in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, on Friday, Chief Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa, South-South Coordinator of Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing, said the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by Amb George Obiozor should be allowed to dialogue for whatever position that will suited for Igbo in 2023 general election.

He asked politicians and other stakeholders to focus on restoring peace in the volatile areas.

The youth group, who expressed worry over the spate of insecurity in Igbo land in the recent times, advised the stakeholders in the region to convoke security submit in order to outline moralities in addressing the rising wave of insecurity ranging from kidnappings, killings among others.

He frowned at the situation where some groups in Igbo land are trying to create disunity using the name of Ohanaeze to lobby for their personal benefits instead of pursuing peace and security of all Igbos.

He said: “Its unfortunate that some politicians are already lobbying for Vice presidential position when insecurity is ravaging almost every section of Igbo land, what can you do without security, who will you govern when there is no peace, everybody should work to restore peace in South East at this particular time.

“We have put in place a highly revered Ohanaeze Ndigbo and with the leadership of a renowned diplomat, Amb George Obiozor, let them negotiate with power brokers for a position suitable for Igbos during next dispensation while we are trying to see how we can restore peace in our land.

“If anything about vice president slot is to be discussed, it should be Ohanaeze Ndigbo and not politicians who will only go after their personal interest not minding the situation in the South East.

“Insecurity in the South East is making us cry every day, we should meet in a submit to talk to everybody on how address the insecurity, that should be the number one agenda for every Igbo person before thinking about political gains,” he said.

Igbo youths indeed. Bunch of Efulefus. Anything short of the presidency is unacceptable to Igbos hence the reason why we are all rallying for Peter Obi

And out of the window goes Peter Obi's aspiration.

Anyway, from a reliable source, Tinubu promised to make a case for igbos VP when he assumes office in 2023.

I trust Tinubu, he will do it very early. All things being equal, latest by 2098.

which ohanaeze

LeoDeKing:
I will vote for Obi

Tinubu urchins handwork.

their tactics are always obvious.
dem no get manifestos to campaign with naaa hence the blackmail.

But
the youths are coming

they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.

But we'll remind them that tribalism won't bring back dollars to at least 400
tribalism won't bring back fuel to 95 naira
tribalism won't send our undergraduates back to school.
tribalism won't fix our security.
tribalism won't develop our economy.

2023 will be the youths vs the criminals
it won't be business as usual.

U guys can get it but not in a platter of gold

Lol. In other words, they understand that las las Pitobi is on a wild-goose chase.

, the title is different from the content of the article, the article is speaking mostly about focusing on resolving the insecurity in the region ahead of lobbying for VP position

Dead on arrival if una like make una carry Nri king pic mix with Atiku.
If una like make una give Okorochaor or Orji APC ticket, Obidient competence is what we all stand with. Igbos aren't second fiddles

The real Igbos self know that Thief Peter Obi is a waste of time

Dude you talk too much. Are you competing for the position of Nairaland clown pls tell us. Your jokes aren't funny and you try too hard to come off are rude it ends up looking desperate for attention.

lol Confused people from Presidency must be Zoned to SE to now negotiating for VP...

There son is on the ballot they should support him he might be lucky why trying to give up a fight...

Who wii now vote Obi?

Igbos should get the Presidency. But, unfortunately, they can't play the politics. Other regions have tried and failed woefully, so Igbos too deserve to take a shot at it and try their best, but unfortunately, this game is not for them.

Igbos have never played this game well. Imagine Nnamdi Azikiwe being ceremonial president to semi-literate Tafawa Balewa. Alex Ekwueme with his PhD being VP to Sheu Shagari a Grade-II Teacher's Certificate holder.

Igbos business acumen and enterpreneurship is second to none world wide, I think they can use these skills of theirs to help the country out of the pit. Unfortunately, politics will not allow them, because they don't understand the game.

Afghanistan. We told them we it all started. But they called us different names.

Fulani slaves.... It is a c*rse to be yeebow
