Concede Presidency To South-East In 2015 — Ohanaeze by horlatunde(m): 12:17pm On Jan 27, 2013
The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndi’gbo, on Saturday called for the concession of the 2015 presidency to the South-East geopolitical zone.

It said the zone deserved a concession similar to what was given to the South-West during the 1999 election.

It urged political parties to give their presidential tickets to candidates from the area to end its alleged marginalisation.

National Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr. Tony Oganah, told our correspondent that group had begun to sensitise politicians from the region for the presidency.

He said, “Because the 1993 election of South-Westerner – Chief MKO Abiola – was annulled, the presidency was ceded to the South-West in 1999 to compensate the Yoruba. Both (Olusegun) Obasanjo and (Olu) Falae ran for the election.

“We are saying the same concerning the South-East. When Jonathan leaves either in 2015 or 2019, depending on how the electorate view his performance, let it be our turn. We’re demanding justice in the interest of peace.”

Oganah said the group would only support presidential aspirants from the zone in any political party.

The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, however told our correspondent that the demand by the group was premature.

He said, “It’s premature. Let’s talk about what we have for the people now, before we talk about 2015. It’s very premature.”

Congress for Progressive Change described the demand as “laughable.”

The National Publicity Secretary, CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said, “It is laughable — not because the Igbo, as an ethnic flock, should not take a shot at the presidency; it is their alienable right. However, they need to understand that Nigeria has six geopolitical zones and their demand should be with the consent of other zones.”

They'll rather concede it to to satan than the SE. These SE leader really don't know how much these people are making sure that the presidency never goes to that part of the country. The only way they can get it is by going on their knees throughout the country to beg for support and even that is not sure and i know the Igbos are not the begging type. The presidency will continue to elude them and there's nothing they can do about it. It's even worse cos they've been reduced to minorities who really have no say in what happens.

there have been a media reaction to the statement anyway.
Comparing their demand to the yoruba's compensation to field two different candidates for the 1999 election is not realy mature enough.
I think they need putting their house in order.

is this for real or 419 . or ohaneze said so.. first of all nigeria does not have 6 zones. 6 zone is for wa keta and for oyi berebe, nigeria has 3 region

the north where umaru yar adua comes from katsina 2007 -2010
the east where Ebele jonathan comes from otu eke 2010-2015
the west


nigeria will end up in a civil war if you dont respect the 3 region.

Igbo people most know that some of us understand igbo and speak igbo.... .. no ojoro or wayo in this thing.... o mara what I am saying.

But to be fair, it was given to the SW as a valentine's gift in 1999. The two dominant party fielded to SW candidates and no one objected to it.

Zonal arrangement is a PDP thing for now anyone who wants to lay claim to Aso rock on the basis of region must be in PDP. The impression these guys are giving is that power must change hand after every presidential poll irrespective of the Party involved. Ideas like these will only do more harm like BH is doing.

I really don't know why you talk like this Everyone one knows that people from the SE are the best of all Nigerians .The smartest,brainiest most hardworking and industrious people known to man and God. Nigerians have no choice but to give them the Presidency.

You are right and it was given to abokis as Ileya gift in 2007 so We have to look at others that have not enjoyed such gifts.The SE is the obvious one and they are the ONLY ones capable of turning Nigeria around.They are honest and visionary and never involved in corruption

I can see that Ohaneze is not serious about the presidency.the other time they were asking for negotiations if Goodluck Jonathan is going to contest in 2015.Now they are saying something entirely different.while other major ethnic groups are preparing for the forth coming elections,Ohaneze is still living in fools' paradise! smh... cry cry cry

Way to go. No more SS (Ijaw/Ikwerre) rubbish. Its either igbo or they reserve their endorsement!

Funny the CPC man called it laughable. If he doesn't know a joke to laugh to, he should find humor in his party's perpetual Fielding of a candidate in Buhari or he should have a wild laugh at their fanthom Mega party already doomed to fail!

that is exactly the problem! most of the members of the Ohaneze are loyal to the Retardeen(permit me to use the word).how is it then possible to achieve the Igbo presidency in 2015?
Re: Concede Presidency To South-East In 2015 — Ohanaeze by PaulJohn1: 1:13pm On Jan 27, 2013
Confused set of people who are full of wishes: Biafra, additional state, presidency

Personally, I thing SE's slot is what GEJ is using. Plus, their support for GEJ till 2019 is a clear picture of that. Nnamdi Ebelchukwu Jonathan is an ibo man.
