ABAKALIKI-THE leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide Wednesday stated that any manoeuvring aimed at denying Ndigbo the Presidency come 2023 will spell doom for the nation.

This was part of the resolutions reached by the group during its meeting in Abakaliki where it deliberated on several issues affecting Ndigbo economically and politically in the country.
In a statement issued at the end of the meeting by the Secretary General, Okwu Nnabuike and Deputy National Public Relations Officer, Ado Osaka of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, the group stressed that 2023 Igbo Presidency was not negotiable adding that handing over power to Ndigbo was for justice, equity and fairness to reign in Nigeria’s political arena.

The statement read in part: “The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide met today in Abakiliki, Ebonyi state being 28th August 2018 and deliberated extensively on issues affecting Ndigbo Economically and politically and resolved as follows.

“OYC insists that 2023 Igbo Presidency is not negotiable, and it’s our date with destiny and any manoeuvring may spell doom to the unity of the Country, as the recent unjust appointments since 2015 by the Presidency resulted to the rise of Biafra agitation, and those seeking Igbos votes in 2019 across Nigeria where Igbo reside must consider handing power to Igbos for justice, equity and fairness in 2023, those clamouring for restructuring should think twice, and no Northern President will restructure a system that favours the north more than the Southerners, it’s only a Southern President will restructure Nigeria.

“Ohanaeze Youths frown at the report that some cabal in APC had perfected plans to return power to South West instead of South East immediately after President Buhari quits Power. We still insist that the Presidency should refute such negative plot or it will make Ndigbo to consider other political options before them in 2019. We are aware that irrespective of INEC officials denying Igbos their constitutional rights in some parts of Nigeria to collect their PVCs in 2015 outside Igbo land, our voting strength in South west is equal to that of the indigenes, even in the North. We have more than 12million registered Igbos in Northern Nigeria and 5million Igbos in south West.

“OYC insists that APC had not fulfil their political promises to the people of South East, which includes the campaign promise of President Buhari to revamp Enugu Coal mine which had been politically closed for 45years now, irrespective of the Projects the Presidency insists they
attracted to South East, but if APC continue to give priority to other zones more than South East, it may spell doom for them, APC need Ndigbo More than Ndigbo needs them.

“OYC congratulate the Governor and people of Abia state on their 27 anniversary since the creation of Abia in 1991 and insists that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu have what it takes to transform Abia state, we observed that since 1999, Abia state have been unfortunate in governance, but since 2015, even with distraction from opposition, Governor Ikpeazu had performed more than any Governor that had governed Abia since 1999, but salute the Abia indigenes courage to stand behind Governor Ikpeazu and support his government.

“We support the single tenure of 6 years for President and Governors proposed by Senator Ike Ekweremadu, we believe it help to unite Nigeria than divide us.”

Tinubu is the next president after Buhari..kiss the truth

The ultimatum givers have found their voice

Meanwhile, this ultimatum is directed at who? PDP the Christian party or APC the awusa Fulani Amala and ewedu party?

Is it okoroawusa you want it given to or who?

Only a foolish Igbo man will still be talking about the Presidency when there are more important things at stake.

The Presidency of Nigeria has not helped those who have held it for many years but some people think that this position is what Iģbos will get and all their problems will be solved.

Presidency of Nigeria gbakwa oku! Ana ekwu ihe di mkpa, ufodu Ana ko inyo.

meshi onu their....we can vote who we want...nobody can force us.....

Lmao!

That is the only thing I can do here!

Brawn over brain!! The Ibo political malaise and affliction.

Why is OYC interested in the politics of APC all of a sudden?

I hope Ohaneze and their minions on NL can see the bold very clearly. The freeborn omambala have spoken; only foolish igbo men seek the presidency of Nigeria

The thing is baffling my brother

SE is PDP, PDP is SE they've been shouting upandan. So why are they bothered with whatever awusa Fulani Amala and ewedu party wish to do in 2023?

Are they losing faith in PDP?

do we want to practice democracy or not....??

i can vote who i want....if i want,i can vote a madman on the streets....
all this ultimatums is useless and will cause only trouble for all of us.....

It's hightime Ohaneze is buried because it's just an unregistered political party working with the Calipahte to confuse some gullible Igbos.
Today they tell you it's restructuring.
Tomorrow they tell you no restructuring, no 2019 elections.
Next is IPOB is Insulting us.
Handshake across the Niger.
Now 2023 presidency.

Ohaneze if you want to be relevant ever again, Just talk about independence. Hoo haa.

foolish lazy youths if the igbos can't come together and present a presidential candidates till 3500 igbo will still be fighting for presidency

So what happened to Biafla na?

...Or na Bia-furo ni? Today na Biafra Biafla Bia-furo, tomorrow na Nigerian Presidency, next tomorrow.. Nigeria is a zoo...

Who's gonna take this savage cannibals serious?

X

It is not automatic, nobody hands ticket & votes to anybody automatically. The ibos will work hard like every other group to have their candidates win primaries first then work harder to swing North & West to vote their candidates.

Flat Nation sef dey feel themselves

If they want to leave the so called zoo why are they now clamoring for the 2023 presidential ticket. This guys are confused Set of youths.

lol
Only time will tell
But it looks like a mirage right now

f

We don't need your presidency

The country's setup renders presidents educated leaders clueless and illustrate leaders lifeless.

Ok

Ndi igbo.... Continue Wallowing in Quantum foolishness

Na today......

What do you need the presidency of the Zoo under a Yoruba/ Fulani terrorists party for?

I thought you guys are not interested in who becomes the president of the zoo?

Did you just realised that APC will win 2019 presidential election?

How can your cheap threat and empty chest beating earn you the presidency?

This guys are clowns... lol

Threaten who??...These people are really confused after fighting everybody who want to vote for a flatnoid?..ill rather vote a Niger delta person or even someone from middle belt instead.The seed of hate u've planted will definitely come back to bite you in the ass

Story, I am from south-south. The reality is that, it will be a daydream for the east to think of presidency in the next 50 years let alone 2023. Whatever promises the north is offering now is purely political.

Fight for Biafra and leave come 2023 presidency.

jokers I thought u guys said u need biafra when biafra was not forth comin u shifted to restructuring. *** they don even know what they want

This OYC are foolish o...for their information, no one will allow igbo taste the president of this country... 2023 southwest will produce president and nothing go happen... I advise them to clamour for restructuring.. If na president.. Na dreams oo

Too much sense in one post!

It's pathetic that we all still think the only effective change to this country will come from the seat of presidency, when in actual fact, it is in our individual mindset to bring about it.

Presidency in nigeria has failed in all it's ramifications.
More would be done if that seat is held by an efficient person... Not just some tribalistic dunderheads

I laugh in IPOB.

Let them report Amala and Ewedu Janjawe.ed Islamist APC to the UN and ICC.

It seems they don't even have hope in their APGA and PDP.

Suddenly, rebels want to rule the shithole Zoo?

If they now they want to rule this country let them joint the ruling party if not, nothing for them
