*2015: NDIGBO JOIN PRESIDENTIAL RACE As Ndigbo in Rivers State restates there Igboness.

By: kenechukwu Amazuoke

The race for the 2015 Presidential elections took a different twist with the declaration of Ndigbo that they will contest the 2015 Presidential elections. Speaking during the inauguration of the State Executives of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Rivers state at the Elekahia Stadium Port-Harcourt, the President-General of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chief Garry Enwo-Igariwey stated that “Ndigbo must seek the Presidency of this country at the expiration of the tenure of the South-South. This is in keeping with our stand that equity, justice and fair-play demand that we, the only zone remaining to hold the prime position in the country, should be allowed by our fellow Nigerians to occupy it in an unbroken succession after the South-South....we cannot afford to play second fiddle forever.”

On the spate of insecurity across the nation, the Afikpo Prince stated that Ndigbo has endured enough casualties and called on the perpetrators of the heinous crime of bombing across the northern part of Nigeria to cease forthwith, while the federal government should deploy resources and materials aimed at bringing the menace to an end, and compensate those who have been adversely affect by the wanton destruction of lives and properties.

In his address, the Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Engr. Issac Wonwu expressed great joy, as the occasion marks a watershed in a bold declaration of the re-integration of the Igbo elements in Rivers state with their kin across Nigeria since after the balkanisation of the Igbo ethnic nationality by the military junta at the wake of the Biafran civil war.

Chief Wonwu who also doubles as the leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the South-South also re-iterated on the need for an urgent value re-orientation amongst Ndigbo through cordial intra-national relationship aimed at bringing their present marginalisation to an end. He further stated that Ndigbo are committed to rediscovering and repositioning themselves within the Nigerian context, hoping that through concerted planning, respect for one another, stopping their selfish approaches, and the emulation of their past heroes and their selfless approaches to the service of the people, the Igbo dream of occupying the Presidency will be materialised.

For the National youth leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he thanked the Igbo of Rivers State for coming out en masse to identify with their original roots, as this signifies an end to their suppression by their enemies who have been using the fractured nature of the Igbo in Rivers State as political tool against them in the politics of the state. According to Isiguzoro, “Ndigbo has made a bold statement and this will surely change the face of Rivers state politics”

Frowning at the psychological relics of the Biafran war, Isiguzoro called on the Igbo of Rivers State to stop using the name “Liberation Stadium” for the Elekahia Stadium as they were at no time “liberated” from the hands of their brother Ndigbo, rather that period (1968) marked the beginning of a dark era in the history of the Igbo of Rivers state and other Niger Delta ethnic groups leading to the economic plundering of the region by those who pretended to be their friends and the killing of both the Igbo and the minorities of the South-South region, an act which necessitated the rise of freedom fighters whom the Nigerian state wrongly termed “Militants”.

The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Rivers State Prince Igo Okparamma, in an interview with odenigbo.com stated that “We, the Igbo of Rivers state have made a loud statement, and it is our belief that from now it is clear to all concerned that we are no longer in doubt of where our true roots are... we are Igbo and this is without doubt.

In a shocking revelation, the member representing Opobo-Nkoro Federal constituency Hon. Dakuku Peterside declared that the Opobo people have their roots in Igboland as the founder and first king of the Kingdom is an Igbo man. Hence Opobos are Igbo. He called on other Igbo elements within the state to identify with the greater Igbo cause.

In her vote of thanks, the Chairperson of the Organising Committee of the inauguration, Mrs Uju Nwanneka called on Ndigbo to return to their “Value Driven” efforts and relentlessly stand for justice and equality for all. The aspirant for the post of Deputy National Woman Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo called on Ndigbo to make Igbo interest their guiding principle in all their pursuits while eschewing individualism.

The occasion which was blessed with heavy shower had in attendance notable Igbo people and friends of Ndigbo who defied the rains to be with Ndigbo. Among the dignitaries at the occasion were Senator Magnus Abe who represented the Rivers state Governor Hon. Rotimi Amechi, Hon Dakuku Peterside (Representing Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency) represented by Hon. Richard Nwoka; the former PDP Chairman Ikwerre Local Government Area, Chief Innocent Mbah; Deputy President Ohanaeze Ndigbo Rivers State, Amb. Anosike Onuowa; Vice Chairman Rivers State Petroleum Monitoring Committee.

Others present are the Chief Ambrose Owuru; Member Ime-Obi Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lady Love Chimezie, Odozi Nwodozi: National Vice Leader Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing, Arthur Obiora Obiora: Deputy National Leader Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing among others.

you have not answered me . go bad and read the article before foaming from your mouth

Noneroone:

But I have answered you, and even cited evidence na. Maka what else? Ok, I get it. Dakuku is Igbo. Are you happy now?

I never knew this. Good post op.

Let's get it straight Dakuku is a "Rivers man" , who probably has a degree of Igbophobia hidden somewhere within his heart.

HE IS NOT AN IGBO MAN!

He is just a regular politician in need of Igbo votes. No well breastfed Igboman should fall for this his "I am Igbo" talk.

We know that Dakuku is a good man, and can take Rivers state to greater heights if given a chance to lead rivers state by his fellow "rivers men".

DAKUKU. IS AN IJAW MAN OR A RIVERS MAN, contesting for an election with his fellow RIVERS MAN,Wike and must be treated and seen as such by Ndiigbo in Rivers state, let's not attract unnecessary attention for ourselves, let's allow rivers people sort themselves out.

Those of us that love him should vote for him individually cos he is a good man.

BUT PLEASE, NO BLOC VOTE OR PUBLIC ENDORSEMENT BY ANY IGBO GROUP.

We wish DAKUKU, all the best.

we are wiser now

i have not posted this b'cos of rivers election. It is possible and likely that the court of appeal may set aside that judgement. What then becomes your fate and those of SE residing in PH. Our concern should be how to counter the ijaw propaganda spread by barcanista and others and not talking about elections that may never hold.

TonyeBarcanista and Truckpusher won't like to hear this one oo
This is a fatal unexpected blow he he he.


Igbo Amaka...

We are not supporting neither Wike nor Dakuku.

We treat both of them as friends. Leave Rivers politics for Rivers people, and just go about our businesses peacefully.

If Wike wins his appeal, we beat drums and go to Rivers state govt house to congratulate him, if he loses, we sympathize with him and congratulate Dakuku.

We see no friends or Enemies in Rivers, we remain neutral and flow with the Victor to secure our interests.

How hard can that be?

There is nothing like Ijaw propaganda in Rivers state, if there is, the rest of Rivers state have the same propaganda towards Ndiigbo.

If Wike comes for our votes, we accept his offer, but not go public about.
If DAKUKU comes for our votes, we do the same, accept his offer, but not go public about it.
We stay neutral, we stand with and work with the eventual winner.

We do the right thing this time around, just stay back, observe things from a distance, let Rivers people sort themselves out, and then reach out to any one of them that emerges victorious.

You cannot remain neutral when your enemy is not.

I don't think Ndiigbo have any enemy or friends in Rivers state. What we have are interests. We work with any Victor in Rivers state to achieve these interests.

.
LOL.
The uglies will not like this.

Keep foaming in the mouth like a dead man while continuously distorting facts to soothe you and you couldn't even have at least the tiniest dignity to quote me correctly.

Well, it is not in the place of Ndiigbo in SE plus Anioma to counter Ijaw propaganda in Rivers state, if ever there are any. It's the job of other "rivers people" to do that.

And if they are comfortable with Ijaw propaganda, as it would appear, then there is no need disturbing sleeping dogs.

Let them be.

It doesn't matter , if Wike loses to the APC you're still in problem because Rivers State would be made so ungovernable that your shops will remain locked permanently and if he wins by you sitting on the fence then your fate is sealed, either way you've got no much choice here - Go figure......
