Biafra Agitation Could Scuttle Igbo Presidency – APC Warns by lolaxavier(m): 9:49am On Nov 15, 2015 |
![]() The All Progressives Congress (APC) South-East zone, has appealed to the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and similar groups to stop “their war drum”, as it could scuttle the quest for Nigeria president of Igbo extraction in 2023. The APC’s stand came in reaction to the spate of mass action by Pro-Biafra agitators. Spokesman of South-East APC Leadership Caucus, Mr Osita Okechukwu made this appeal in a statement on Sunday. He stated that “whereas we agree that there is gross unemployment, discontent and despondency among youths in the land; however it is not peculiar to the South East alone. The gross unemployment is nationwide and would be addressed holistically, luckily our son distinguished senator Chris Ngige is the minister in charge of employment.” Okechukwu appealed to pro-Biafra agitators to stop their mass action and drums of war in the overall interest of the Ndigbo at home, across the country and abroad. He noted that “our record shows that it’s better to jaw-jaw than to war-war. Dialogue is the best solution,albeit we are doing relatively well across the country and our human development index is one of the highest.” According to the APC chieftain, “Ndigbo must be strategic in our agitation, as every evidence suggests that we would be one of the greatest beneficiaries of the progressive and prosperous Nigeria being constructed by President Muhammadu Buhari. “We cannot act like the rodent inside the deep hole for years, only to revolt when it was about to be freed. Methinks that this is not the best of times to hype and escalate the agitation for Biafra, because President Buhari has pledged to resuscitate the dilapidated federal roads in the South East, revamp Enugu Coal, fix 2nd Niger Bridge and other physical infrastructure. “For Mr. President, his word is his bond. Critical analysis posits that after his 2nd tenure, it will be the turn of the South East to produce Nigeria president of Igbo extraction. “Is it not paradoxical that the Pro-Biafra agitators were not this hyper-active in the sixteen years when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party Ndigbo gave unprecedented and overwhelming support, without commensurate reward, was in power at the center? “Does it mean that the promoters didn’t see anything wrong when former president Goodluck Jonatlhan, our adopted son, allowed federal roads in the South East to unimaginable decay, couldn’t award the 2nd Niger Bridge on contract bases like Owete Bridge and couldn’t revamp Enugu Coal? “Available evidence shows that the promoters of the mass action are suspect, as they neither sampled the views of majority of Ndigbo at home or in Dutse – Jigawa, in Akure – Ondo, in Oron – Akwa Ibom nor Ndigbo in Lagos, Kano and Abuja.” When asked what made him think Ndigbo would produce president in 2023, Okechukwu quipped: “Going by the zoning convention, equity and natural justice, surely the president will rotate to the South in 2023. “And when the president rotates to the South in 2023, we have all the cards stacked in our favour to appeal to our brothers in the South West who have had eight years stint and our South South brothers who had five years plus in the presidency since 1999 when the 4th Republic commenced.” He remarked that “every rational indicator favours Ndigbo and so, we need to guide our hate propaganda and wait patiently to harvest the turn of the South East. To be frank this is the golden opportunity for us to join the mainstream, and it should not be scuttled by Pro-Biafra agitators.” On whether the APC would honour zoning convention when it is not in its constitution, Okechukwu said that “in liberal democracy, there is the law and there is the convention, but convention more often prevails than the law, because of its moral weight.” Okechukwu maintained that more than any other factor, it was breach of the zoning convention that signaled the exit of the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan from Aso Villa. When asked the role played by corruption in majority of Nigerians voting Jonathan out, he agreed that corruption definitely was one of the factors that led to Jonathan’s defeat, but that the most prominent was the breach of the zoning convention. Okechukwu noted that APC benefitted immensely from this zoning breach, as the North out of enlightened patriotic interest in 1999 zoned the president to the South, expecting that in eight years it will be their turn, but were short changed. Okechukwu expressed his sincere belief that the two major political parties, the APC and PDP would obey the zoning convention after President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years regime. “Therefore, instead of agitating for Biafra, Ndigbo should think out of the box and put all hands on the deck, support Buhari to actualise this noble objective”, he advised. http://dailypost.ng/2015/11/15/biafra-agitation-could-scuttle-igbo-presidency-apc-warns/ 1 Like |

chukwudi44: Kikikikikikii! They are now dangling the Igbo presidency carrot in front of the Igbos as if it will stop the zoo from being an animal kingdom.Who will be the president, if not an 'Igbo' with a fulani-engineered brain? As if they won't harangue and harrass the kaffir Christian 'Igbo president' with senseless attacks and requests. The north were in power for donkey years before Obj, they never asked for Sharia,Obj a christian came into power in 1999, suddenly they remembered Sharia. Same with GEJ, Boko haram wouldn't let us have peace. The zoo is irredeemable, Hausa/fulanis and yorubas have destroyed the country beyond repair, it will not be fair to expect an Igbo to come do the dirty job of fixing it after decades of destruction, pillaging and looting. Arewa-Oduastans should keep their rotten carrots, Igbos aint interested. I'm sorry, Igbo presidency won't stop Biafra. Our children deserve better, they deserve Biafra. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

That one na threat? How did Presidency help the north? Northern Nigeria still tops the world chart as regards the number of beggars and illiterates. South west nko? Just the other day we were donating money and foodstuffs to keep the civil servants in osun alive. Ekiti and Ibadan Still lack basis toilet facilities. Ogun people still dey do money rituals but OBJ was president for 8 years. SE does not need Nigerian presidency jare. It seems more of a curse than a blessing. 32 Likes 1 Share |

obum88:explain to me why didn't PDP give Igbo the presidential ticket even for once in 16 years? rather we buy GEJ market that was not our own. And now that he has lost woefully, we are shouting Biafra! do you think any SS state will ever support this PDP sponsored thrash about marginalization? marginalization by who, from what n when? Okorocha, Ngige , Onu etc saw through the futility of realizing the Igbo dream under a shameless PDP n left to a promise land - APC. It will shock many of you when we elect any of these gentlemen as our president after this administration. Ask Ekwueme, Orji kalu etc why they couldn't under PDP. We have a new Nigeria and nothing can distract us. Nothing! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nnamdi Kanu and his tout friends are evil.They cannot stop Igbo presidency. We genuine Igbos will fight them to finish.We support the government of PMB and our brothers {Ngige, Rochas, Ogbonnaya Onu, Geoffrey Onyeama, Okechukwu Enelamah, Prof. Anwuka, Amechi, Kachikwu, Nwike, Okowa, Ugwuanyi, Obiano, Ikpeazu, Umahi, Mbaka etc} who are working very hard with FG for the interest of Igboland. We are ready to give IPOB whatever they want. An eye for an eye. We can no longer keep quiet to see them protest in Igbo land. Only a fool will support Irresponsible People of Biafra {IPOB}.Igbos are hardworking people and no individual will set us back again. We have vowed to stop them now, as failure to do so will tarnish the image of good people of igboland worldwide. How can an anti-Christ lead Igbo nation. I say NO to IPOB and their evil plan to take over Markets, Businesses, motor parks, Security of our people in the name of Biafra. I want to use this forum to tell all hardworking and law abiding Igbo people across Nigeria that they are highly protected and respected wherever they are. We are now mobilizing ourselves against this evil called IPOB. IPOB IS EVIL TO IGBOLAND. Any attempt to kill a sincere Nwa afor Igbo in the name sabo will be met with total war against all IPOB members and their families. Ndigbo abughi follow follow dika ndi mba ozo. Anyi ga ejiko aka onu chupu ekwensu IPOB na ala Igbo. Anyi ajugo ekwensu na olua nile, Na aha Jesus Christ onyenwe anyi.....Amen. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
