Ohanaeze Urges PDP To Give Presidential Ticket To Igbos

The youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has instructed the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to consider an Igbo as the party’s flag bearer in the 2023 presidential election or face the wrath of the youths.

The group swore that if PDP failed to give their presidential ticket to an Igbo candidate, none of their offices will stand in Igboland nor flag will be seen flying in the region.

It also promised that the youths would not fail to engage in a pitched battle with the party should their demand be overlooked.

The council stated this through Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka its National President, on Thursday in a release made available to Newsmen in Owerri, Imo State.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo said the only way PDP could repay Ndigbo’s 24-year relentless sacrifice was to willingly give its presidential ticket to them.

“Ndigbo is the only tribe that has served PDP since 1999, the Igbo bloc vote was given in 1999-2003 to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the same to President Musa Y’aradua in 2007 and Goodluck Jonathan in 2011-2015,” the group said.

The group sent a stern warning to the conveners of the purported Northern Governors Forum to desist from making utterances capable of disintegrating the country.

The release read, “Without mincing words that, the forum, Northern Governors was inexistent, describing them as few ‘Fulani political power mongers’ who want to drag the Middle-belt into their illusion for them to produce Nigeria president in 2023.

“It’s idiotic to include Taraba, Benue, Nassarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kogi, Kaduna, Kwara etc that have had a fair share of Fulani herdsmen killing, banditry and kidnapping in their so-called imaginary 2023 presidential dream.

“With the quest of Fulani political cabal to retain power in 2023, if they dare it, it’s an indication that Nigeria at 61 this year will be the last independent day the entity called Nigeria will celebrate.”
