Youths of the Igbo social-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, have called for alliance of the Eastern Region with the North to ensure the emergence of Igbo President come 2023.

In a statement signed by its President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Saturday, Ohaneze said the proposed alliance will produce one of the present Southeast governors and one present Northern governor as a running mate, or a former Vice President or former governor or senator, depending on the choice of the North.

The group said it was working towards ensuring a past Governor from the South-East emerges as the next President.

Speaking on its plans for the next presidential election, the Ohanaeze youth said it was taking the lead in building bridges across the six geo-political zones.

It said: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has taken the lead in building bridges across the six geo-political zones, through aggressive persuasion on some aggrieved northern groups and leaders, who felt marginalised in the President Buhari regime or schemed out of relevance and importantly have viewed Southwest alliance with the North as a farce.


“We have concluded arrangement to play hosts first class traditional rulers, opinion leaders, prominent northern groups and Arewa youth leaders to re-align and build confidence ahead of 2023 Presidential election without any political affiliations or party.

“North has been the traditional partner in progress since 1960s with the old Eastern Region, until there was suspicion brewing between the years created by artificial barriers which this move and series of consultations will automatically restore.

“Hopefully will restore the North and Old Eastern Region alliances, then the insecurity in some quarters will be flush into the dustbin of history.

“Old Eastern Region alliance with the North through proper understanding and cooperation, will produce one of the present Southeast Governors and one present Northern Governor, or former Vice President or former Governor or Senator, depending the choice of the North, will pair ahead of 2023.

“We are extending hands of friendship with the Coalition of Northern Groups and Arewa Youth leaders, to build a united front and alliance that will hold the two regions together as partnership, as we had in 1960s.

“History will always repeat itself, as traditional partners in progress, a Nigeria President of Igbo stock will largely favour the North with huge dividends of democracy.”

What's this again, I thought the igbo's said that if they did not produce the next president, there will be secession. Why are they now chasing presidential post.

Okechukwu Isiguzoro has long been suspended and removed as Ohanaeze youth president

This is politics in Nigeria.
If an alliance with north can produce Igbo presidency in no too distant time and would likely save the country from the pitiable state it is,then it is welcomed.
After all, some other regions have been at the helm of affairs with practically nothing to show for it.

The same North you guys have been bashing left, right and centre? So, you guys want to be Hausa and Fulani slaves as well. Hypocrites...

Which north? Maybe Northern Southeast region

It can't be our north o... Go to Facebook and see how these people curse the north. I am nt God but prediction is for man. igbo man can't become president of this nation 50yrs to come

Lol, the North was already forgetting the episodes of 1966-1970 until the Ibos woke it up again using Nnamdi Kanu.

It will take another generation of North to forget

;they might alliance with the ibos.but in their hearts,they wouldn't trust them an inch.

Your master will forever remain your master

Who told you? Nnamdi Kanu is history and we're all glad to see the vast majority of Ibos have rejected him and his philosophy

The North has forgotten the 1967 to 1970 episode because the North came out of the war with its head up. It is the Biafrans that are still crying. Several Biafran bitter story tellers including Chinua Achebe and other idiots have written several lies about the Civil War crying genocide. If you people start another senseless war, even our Father in Heaven will stand by and watch as Nigerian Army teaches you another life long lesson.

That clown's emergence has politically destroyed d SE

not exactly sure how this nonsense will work

there is already an existing pact and platform of PDP where this can work under the north/south power rotation

this move should not be the pre-occupation of Ohaneze

it is just not necessary
