Ajuluchukwu to Afenifere: Support Obasanjo or There'll be Crisis

PDP Northeast endorses Obasanjo-Atiku ticket
>From Chukwudi Nwabuko in Abuja and Ademola Adeyemo in Ibadan
-------------------------------------------------------------

A leader of Ohaneze, a pan-Igbo group, Chief M.C.K. Ajuluchukwu,
yesterday warned the leaders of Afenifere against withholding its
support for President Olusegun Obasanjo's re-election in 2003, saying
Nigeria may face serious post-election crisis if Obasanjo was denied a
second term.

And in Abuja, the Northeast zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
endorsed the Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Obasanjo's running mate
in 2003.

Ajuluchukwu, who spoke yesterday in Ibadan at the Conference Centre of
the University of Ibadan, said the present democratic experience may be
truncated if Nigerians failed to re-elect Obasanjo as president in 2003.

He said that from all indications, PDP would re-nominate Obasanjo for
2003 elections.

The elder statesman, however, pleaded with Yorubas to support Obasanjo
for the second term in office in order to forestall the post-election
crisis.

Said he: "Afenifere is the key to stability of our democracy. It seems
the Afenifere is not supporting Obasanjo candidacy for the 2003
election. Afenifere has the key to stability because they control the
masses, you should not make mistake about this.

"Afenifere are supporting the OPC, the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE).
But I don't want Yoruba to go into opposition because Yoruba have been
in the opposition since the First Republic, they only managed to be in
government since 1999," he said.

Lamenting the lukewarm attitude of Afenifere leadership to the
re-election of Obasanjo, the Ohanaeze leader said even Professor Bolaji
Akinyemi vehemently kicked against it.

"I told Akinyemi on several occasions that Afenifere must support
Obasanjo's second term bid. If Yoruba miss the Presidency in 2003, it
will take a long time before Yoruba will get there again," he said.

Ajuluchukwu, however, warned Afenifere against dividing Yorubaland: "I
have asked Adesanya to invite Chief Akinjide and others and re-unite
Yorubas. It can be easily done because Yoruba have been used to unity
since Awolowo era," he said.

The frontline politician also said that the pan-Yoruba organisation
should justify its support for Obasanjo by referring to Chief Bola Ige
and Chief Adesanya's daughter's involvement in Obasanjo's
administration: "Nigeria may experience post-election crisis if Obasanjo
did not win. If the APP present Igbo man as their presidential
candidate, the unity that exists among the southerners would be broken,"
he said.

According to him, the Hausa-Fulani want to control the Igbo man and that
the situation may brew crisis at the national level.

He also said that Nigeria was not yet a democratic nation until a
national conference was convened.

"We are only a civilian rule, Nigeria will not enjoy the dividend of
democracy until we convene a national conference," he said.

He also disclosed that Obasanjo was in support of the national
conference and four zones of the country supported the national
conference, "very soon, the other two zones will support the conference
for that confab is not against them".

Meanwhile, the North-East Zone of the PDP has endorsed Vice President
Atiku Abubakar as running mate to Obasanjo in the 2003 presidential
election.

The endorsement of Atiku by the zone was sealed at a meeting of the
North East executive committee of the party in Maiduguri, Borno State,
attended by the vice president, members of the party's national
executive committee, members of the board of trustees, chairmen and
secretaries of the state chapters of the party, legislators, ministers,
special advisers as well as ambassadors.

A communique issued at the end of the meeting and read to newsmen
yesterday in Abuja by the National Vice Chairman (North East), Alhaji
Song Abubakar Ahmed, noted among other things that the zone re-affirmed
its total commitment to the support and representation of the
Obasanjo/Atiku ticket for the 2003 presidential election, adding that
"the meeting was convinced beyond doubt that there was wisdom in the
well-known convention of not changing a winning ticket, the task is to
strengthen it".

The communique which was signed by Song , Senator Jonathan Zwingina,
Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, Alhaji Abba Ibrahim Gubio and Alhaji Murtala
Aliyu, also reaffirmed the resolve of the north east zone to present a
Presidential candidate when the office rotates to the north, stressing
that "this we believe, will be in the interest of fairplay, justice and
equity as the zone remains the most disadvantaged in the north in never
having the opportunity to produce a Head of State or President, whether
military or civilian".

In the 10-point communique, the zone equally reviewed activities in the
oil and gas sector, particularly the discovery of gas in commercial
quantities, and appealed to the Federal Government to commence gas
exploitation since oil had been discovered in commercial quantity in the
Chad basin.

The meeting also urged the Federal Government to support the Mambilla
hydro- electric power project, estimated to generate 3,900 MW, in order
to supplement the electricity needs of the country.

On the membership registration exercise of the party, the zone resolved
to actively support and participate in the exercise, noting that the
registration was not related to the forthcoming elections at the party
and local government levels.

A leader of Ohaneze, a pan-Igbo group, Chief M.C.K. Ajuluchukwu,
yesterday warned the leaders of Afenifere against withholding its
support for President Olusegun Obasanjo's re-election in 2003, saying
Nigeria may face serious post-election crisis if Obasanjo was denied a
second term.



Chisos! Yeeboes are truly AGIP.

Citadel , these Ibo leaders are giving my wife headache...and when she gets headache my own head starts to throbb.

Ohaneze has been supressing Ibo citizens and their political dreams since 500bc. Hear wetin Ajuluchukwu said when he ordered APP to kill its political ambition so a Yorubaman can win. This was just four years after PDP snatched the Presidency from Ekwueme and donated to OBJ.

[size=16pt]Nigeria may experience post-election crisis if Obasanjo did not win. If the APP present Igbo man as their presidential candidate, the unity that exists among the southerners would be broken,"he said.[/size]


For those who do not know, Orji Uzor Kalu was one of founders of APP and they had an Iboman to contest 1993 Presidency election until Ohaneze told them to sit down so OBJ can win.

Fast forward to 2014....they have done it again and ordered Ibo aspirants to sit down so Jonathan can win 2015.

Hold on, Chinyere is crying.....she is upset about these bantu monkeys that are good for nothing. Make i go attend to my wife, Ill be back later my brother.....

Lmaoooooo. Yeeboe Kwenu

Emma, take it easy.

Trust ndigbo at ur own peril. The thing is, they dont knw what they stand for; they jst flow with the water. They can best be described as 'any govt in power(AGIP)' . When it was IBB, their kinsmen were there for him. When it was Abacha, their sons organized d 1million march for him. Obj came we have them begging afenifere to support their own son who they didnt see as good to rule Nigeria. Yaradua came, it was a similar story. They're now with gej and, hopefully , they might shift to GMB this year. Ibo people na 'anywhere bele face' dem be.
Politically, u can stamp on igbos and go scotfree...especially when u are in power and throw money at their leaders, you will be forgiven . But the last ppl to offend politically are the yoruba- they will pay u back in ur own coin. They're too enlightened to be taken for a ride.
Ibo na sentiment dem get pass. If obj was their son, they wont challenge him like afenifere did to him then. They are now kissing gej's shoe in d name of support even thou he has done anything for them.

Hmmm.....

Nna mehn... See flashback, digest and fast foward!!!
