Despite the support enjoyed by President Goodluck Jonathan in the five states of the South East geo-political zone, some Igbo in the Diaspora under the aegis of World Igbo Congress, WIC, have enjoined their kits and kin back home to shop for a replacement for the president during the 2015 election.

According to a communiqué issued after its convention, the WIC asked each political party in Nigeria to consider nominating an Igbo as its presidential candidate for the election.

The communiqué dated September 9 signed by WIC Chairman, Larry Udorji, and Secretary General, Cyril Nwaorgu, was released to the media on Wednesday. The convention was held between August 29 and September 1.

The WIC holds conventions annually during which it discusses crucial issues affecting the five Igbo states of Anambra, Abia,Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.

Mr. Jonathan attended 2014 Convention. Other attendees include the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, both Igbo.

In his address to the convention, the president urged Ndigbo (Igbo people) to unite above partisan politics, internal division,external hostility, but “more fundamentally unity in planning and in development as well as in the awakening of the positive Igbo cultural resources.”

He also enumerated the projects and programmes he executed in the five states since he assumed office.

Officials of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, had announced during its South East rally last month that it collected 1.8 million signatures of the people of the zone asking Mr. Jonathan to seek re-election.

But the WIC, in the communiqué, said it would give consideration and support a nominee of Igbo extraction.

“We call on each political party in Nigeria to give serious consideration to nominating an Igbo as its presidential candidate for the 2015 election to address decades of deliberate and systematic punitive exclusion of Ndigbo in presidential politics,” it said.

“We will consider for support and endorsement parties that give serious consideration to and support for an Igbo nominee for President.

Ok, heading to shoprite Enugu to shop for Jonathan's replacement I hope to buy it there.

Confuse op. A typical amala and ewedu man is posting what the igbo people disscus in their bedroom.

And they sent the communique to premiumtimes? No make me laugh

Jonathan is clueless and I still don't get why Igbos on this section are supporting him.

I am Igbo and won't vote for that man.

Well, Igbo's love supporting mediocrity in the name of 'we love our people'.


...but, that's none of my business.

Tell that to premium times not me

A comment on that page read thus:

We have done our part... it's left for Home-based to emulate and vote out the Otuoke Clown Prince. Our problem however is those Anambra Ibos and their Atiliogu Dance Troupe, led by Uba Bros, Ezeife, Peter Obi, et al. Sha, I'm optimistic the wave of corrupt and shoddy deals Dumbo has been involved is enough to make our voters see reason to abandon the perpetrators of Abandoned Property policy and natural turncoats. Dr. Dumbo is a common Ijaw thief and Igbos should not be seen as supportive of criminality. A clown who claimed giving Ojukwu state burial as one of his achievements to Ndigbo... Drunkard!

Rawani: I never expected such common sense from this group. I'm impressed, expect the kilobyte combatants to start with their emotional diatribes any minute from now.

I am not so impressed considering...

So because he pinched you where it pains the most.......you whined and called on S.eun to come and ban him

Is that how low you guys have ridiculed Se.un such that you now call him to come and side with you to discipline a perceived enemy?

Rawani:

Even THEY know any party nominating an Igbo as its presidential candidate is an impossibility, not even in Hell's Kitchen.

There resolution is incomplete. Maybe they have started to reason Oyegun's Statement. "Vote APC in 2015 and we will give you chance in 2023"

Shut your mouth,I was just pointing out the fact that he deserved the ban Seun gave him.

Wether they dump him or not it doesn't matter. Let them come home and vote him out! I.E If they care so much.
