The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ohanaeze Youth Council, has said that the All Progressives Congress National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is behind the plot to remove Ike Ekweremadu as the deputy senate president.

In a statement issued in Umuahia, the OYC National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, asked Tinubu and other “anti- Igbo forces in APC” to retrace their steps or face the wrath of Igbo youths.

Isiguzoro said the plot to remove Ekweremadu was an affront on the Igbo nation which would not be tolerated.

He said, “Being fully aware that the present plot is being orchestrated by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, we ask him to re-trace his steps forthwith or we shall declare him an enemy of Ndigbo.”

Isiguzoro, however, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to caution Tinubu and other anti-Ekweremadu forces in order to avoid actions that might further overheat the polity.

He said, “We are aware that Buhari is under intense pressure to endorse the ‘Ekweremadu must go plot.’ This is the time for the President to prove that he belongs to nobody, Tinubu inclusive, but that he belongs to everybody, Ndigbo inclusive.”

Also, another Igbo group, Izu-Umunna Cultural Association, asked the APC to accept the election of Ekweremadu as the deputy senate president as the will of God.

The association also asked the Federal Government to relocate the Boko Haram detainees from Ekwulobia prison facilities in the South-East because their presence had been creating tension in the region.

According to him, the presence of the Boko Haram detainees is like spreading the virus of terrorism to a region not known to such a trend.

In a statement signed by its President, Dr. Ugo Ihekuna, and Secretary-General, Chief Elvis Chukwu, the association attributed the crisis in the senate to the handiwork of politicians who wanted things to always go their own way.

Uuhhnn this people are just unstable in their decision making today they ate Nigerians tomorrow they will claim biafool....They are just a double minded man.

Ok

Why is everything tribal to the Igbo man?

If the Igbos have willingly voted for PDP, how is it their business how the majority APC fills its slots in the senate leadership?

They are not even fighting for PDP's claims to the position, all I see is tribe tribe and tribe.

Very reminiscent of the Jonathan era of "our ministry", "our minister", our "hardworking sister" etc which was their attitude to government portfolios.

In the end, Saraki's blind ambition is to blame.
Ekweremadu would have been a forgotten nonentity flushed away with PDP.

Ekweremadu has our support.

Ohanaeze is the only igbo group with legitimacy to speak on igbo affairs
