The Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo has stated it is only interested in the 2023 presidency and pursuit of sovereign State by any group in the zone.

The group maintained that it is a right to the Southeast zone, not a privilege to get the presidency in 2023.

Ohaneze spoke Tuesday in Awka, Anambra State through its President in Anambra State, Chief Damian Okeke -Ogene, while briefing reporters after the group’s meeting

He said the leadership of Ohaneze has not mandated anyone or group to pursue actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra but Presidency of Igbo extraction.

He said that some youths within the territory that make up the defunct Biafra Republic were restive and had made case for Biafra’s restoration because of the gross marginalisation of the zone.



According to Okeke –Ogene: “We are pursuing Igbo president because the executive of Ohanaeze led by Nnia Nwodo has the mandate of Ndigbo to negotiate the Igbo position in Nigeria.

“He wasn’t given a mandate for the Sovereign State of Biafra. That’s why we are saying, give us what is due for us and Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction is what we are looking for.

“The other aspect of IPOB is because our children seem to find out that Nigerians are not ready to give us what we want; we the elders.

“They are now saying that if you’re not going to answer my father, I am going to tell my father that I am going to be myself.

“They are two different things. Let me tell you, it is coming to a point that Igbo presidency is becoming a right; no more privilege because it is only the South East that has never tasted the presidency and we have been voting for everybody.

“So, the younger ones are agitating that Nigerians are not ready to answer us.

“If they are sure that Nigerians are going to answer us, I believe that they will calm down. Nigeria is for all of us.”

Why are we practicing democrazy? When we block a certain tribe from a fair chance at presiding over the national affair in a country who's motto talks about peace and UNITY

If you really want Presidency that bad learn how to attract votes with honey instead of vinegar. You may now be willing to listen to the smart ones within your people.

After gaining Presidency, then what?

[s]We saw what you did with it under Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan.[/s]

Which ethnic group has Presidency Epp?

Time for Minority President from anywhere.

Simplyleo:
Pls wetin these people really want?

Referendum
Restructuring
Biafra
Atiku presidency
Elzakzaki freedom
Now, presidency.

Okay, now, based on this their new want, I suggest they demand for the ticket from their darling pdp.

UdechiHD:
You should ask the Ijaws what they did with GEJ Presidency? Not the Igbo man.
It is the same way we can ask you what you did with Obasanjo presidency, since a Yoruba man ruled between 1999-2007. And mind you, GEJ didn’t do quarter of what chief bigot Buhari is doing in Aso rock. Yet, you didn’t see that one.

First remove the log from your eye, before you remove the spike from your neighbor.

Miracle1991:
who stopped them? Ojukwu,Ekwueme, Ngozi etc contested. Did the igbo people voted for them?
Last year how many igbo people contested? But their people prefer to vote for Atiku who is a fulani man.
Igbos have the right to contest but also Nigerians have the right to vote who they want.
We have 6 zones in Nigeria, 2 from the southern part of the country already held that position while only one zone in the North ever have that position.
Igbos are full of greed, they play politics with emotions, they believe they can decide for Nigeria, they have the mindset that everybody hate them. Those are the qualities that will make them impossible to rule this country. If they want to rule this country they must change their ways.

goodnessme1:
[s]Ohaneze should keep on deceiving themselves.


You think with the level of hatred yorubas and hausafulanis have for Igbos they will vote you for president.



People that will rather vote shekau of boko haram than voting for a well qualified Igbo candidate.




As for me,i stand for total freedom from the zoo called nigeria[/s].

Sagay212:
