Igbos Are Yet To Decide On Who To Vote, Buhari Or Jonathan? by MayorofLagos(m): 6:18pm On Jan 25, 2015
The caretaker com­mittee recently in­augurated to run the affairs of the Igbo apex body Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said that the Igbos have not yet decided on which presidential can­didate to support in the February 14 presidential election.

In a statement issued in Enugu yesterday and signed by the caretaker commit­tee chairman Chief Ralph Obioha, the Igbo apex body said it was yet to be agreed if Ndigbo should be directed to collectively endorse the presidential candidate of any of the two leading political parties, PDP and APC.

According to the statement “since the elected executive of Ohanaeze ceased to func­tion from January 12, 2015 because of the tenure expira­tion and our caretaker com­mittee only inaugurated few days ago, the committee has been in wide and extensive consultation with various or­gans of Ohanaeze.

“This consultations in­clude the Imeobi, the youths and women wings, tradi­tional rulers, Ndi Eze Igbo in Diaspora, Igbo organizations worldwide.

“This consultations have been on since the inauguration of our committee and it will not be long before we will be in a position to issue advice or guidance to Ndigbo on how to vote in the coming elections.”

It however, noted that Ndigbo are concerned with core issues that affect the generality of the people of the South East. It highlighted such issues to include “the right to life and property which includes addressing the menace of cattle herds­men which is a national secu­rity matter.

‘The provision of power generation capacity to enhance the revitalization of our indus­tries, to put our people back to production.

‘The reactivation of Oji River power plant; the exten­sion of the National Gas Link to all South East States.

“The absolute collapse of federal roads, infrastructure in the South East Zone and the need for urgent attention and rehabilitation.

‘The adherence to true fed­eralism and the right to free­dom of religion as well as the removal of all stipulations that prevent private enterprise to strive anywhere in Nigeria.”

They will not decide. They will wait till a winner is declared and then start making noise about the deciding victory coming from Igbo bloc.

Bunch of COWARDS!!

So I thought, until I read this Ohanaeze news release. It confirms a similar plot during Obasanjo's candidacy. They were outwardly behind Falae and condenned Obasanjo.

After Obasanjo victory they came out and said their votes put Obasanjo in power. If thats indeed true then there's no ethnic group more steeped in betrayal than Igbo.

They are COWARDS, simple!

Once beaten, twice shy.
They're being careful and looking before they leap.

Igbos are sentimental, they refuse to let go of the biafra experience, hence their refusal to support GMB even though Jonathan has done nothing to their region
