ON OCTOBER 26, 2019

By Nwafor Sunday
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has on Saturday said that Igbo need two of their Governors and Senators that would voluntarily dump their respective parties and defect to the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC, for the actualization of 2023 Igbo Presidency goal.

The group revealed that one of the reasons Igbo have not become President for over twenty years in Nigeria, was because of the Political parties most of their politicians were into.

They said in other to have an edge over other Southern Zones in the 2023 Presidency, Igbo need at least two South East Governors and some senators to decamp to APC.

Disclosing this in a statement jointly signed by the President General, Mazi okechukwu Isiguzoro, and Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, respectively, the group opined, “We have observed that Igbo going so far based on political antecedents and activities, are traditionally PDP and APGA for almost two decades of Democracy in Nigeria.

“Igbo Youths observed that in other to have an edge over other Southern Zones over 2023 Presidency, we must have at least two South East Governors decamped to APC.

“Talks had already begun with some critical stakeholders to actualize this political balance in the South East.

“At least with three South East PDP Governors and two South East APC Governors before first quarter of 2021, Igbo stand a chance for presidency.

“We are independently sure that with two APC Governors from the South East, it will strengthen our collective bargain for a Nigerian President of Igbo stock come 2023 in both PDP and APC.

“We urge Igbo to use ” Anya Dee Nwamuo Lee ihe nno n’akpa” let’s despise the flaws of the past and flush it into the dustbin of history.

“We surely get two Igbo Presidential materials to fly PDP and APC tickets, especially those with the same pedigrees of Great Zik of Africa.

Support Igbo Presidency, it’s easier to achieve than Biafra, Ohanaeze tells IPOB, Igbo(Opens in a new browser tab)

“We insists that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide is not organizing any Award or Beauty pageant in Bayelsa, and we don’t support any candidate in Bayelsa Guber Candidate in the forthcoming elections.

“Those using Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths name are fraudulent elements and we disassociate ourselves, as Ohanaeze Ndigbo Bayelsa is not aware of the event.

“We urge those slated for the award to be wary of fraudsters who Masquerade as Igbo to extort unsuspecting public.

“We have dissolved the Bayelsa State Exco of Ohanaeze Youths whose tenure elapsed last February 2019, and the Bayelsa State Ohanaeze had constituted a new electoral body for the new elections. We therefore urge Igbo to vote their conscience in Bayelsa Governorship election.

Nice one from OYC. You’re the only group that is coming out to really fight for the Igbo presidency rather than begging and crying marginalization like the other groups were doing!

Isn't this what we've always said. Asking for a party to zone a ticket to a place where they are WEAKEST is simply unrealistic.

With the prevailing situation, handing the party ticket to the zone is simply conceding the presidency to PDP.

You don't blackmail a people into making one of your sons or daughters a president. You lobby for it and make us see course to align with your agenda.

That is how politics is played.

I really detest dishonest people. Blackmail?? Really?
The issue at hand is the UNITY of this country. Every gotdamn honest Nigerian knows damn well it's the igbos turn. N you're here talking about blackmail. Igbos don't vote hausa? Igbos don't vote yoruba? Igbos don't vote niger delta? So them seeking the same support in return is them blackmailing Nigerians? Then let's stop the unity n one nigeria shenanigans. SOME don't want igbos to taste power. Simple as that.

Absolutely nothing stops apc from getting a popular igbo politician to defect. By offering him top of the ticket. IE peter obi. Party loyalty does not exist in Nigerian politics. All these guys are practically free agents. Igbos will vote apc if they bring the RIGHT candidate forward. It's up to apc power brokers to do their due diligence. So don't give me this co ck n bull story like it's a doomed idea.

You voted PDP so go and claim your ticket from PDP

AroleOduduwa2:
Even if all the south east governor defect to APC, they still won’t get the party ticket, as a matter of fact both PDP and APC won’t hand the south east their party ticket. The highest the south east can get is the VP position. Politics is a game of number and the south east doesn’t have the numbers.

Only emotions at work here, no logic.

Bye.

If you have nothing tangible to add I rather you don't mention me. My message was not for tribalists n bigots. Rather to well meaning rational Nigerians. Thanks

PDP is a national party just like APC is a national party. You have invested in PDP for 20yrs go and get your position from them.

You cannot invest in MTN and be looking for dividend at Glo

Excuse me, how old is apc? If you remove ex pdp members, how much of the party will be left? Is apc votes in igboland 0%? N if we're being honest, is the igbos problem not with Buhari as leader of the party not the party itself? N using the past 5yrs as evidence, can you honestly say they were wrong?

Btw, Just imagine if the Republican party of America reasoned like you with their black population?
