The apex Igbo grouip, Ohanaeze Ndigbo headed by Nnia Nwodo came out to endorse the candidacy of PDP's presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar against Buhari and some Igbos particularly in the APC have come out to register their dospleasure. Most notable person is the governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano who has even exchanged words with Nwodo.

Here's the thing:

Ohanaeze as a group should not be endorsing any candididate not matter how much Igbos rally around such candidate. There's no gain saying that Atiku's candidacy is popular amongst Igbos but everyone has their individual preference and a group that represents the genrality of Igbos should not be seen as partisan to the extent of endorsing a candidate.

Having said that, the only reason why some Igbo politicians are againstOhanaeze's decision is because it does not favour them. If they had endorsed Buhari, they would have been hailed to high heavens.

As for Willie Obiano, he's a decent governor but i feel irritated by his recent outbursts. So what if Buhari opened the ZIK masoleum? Is that the only criteria for him to be endorsed? Is ZIK our alpha and omega. Like what is wrong with these politicians. Instead of us to be discussing issues, we're picking out one single act, making Buhari look like some sort of saint. If Obiano wants to join APC, he should go right ahead and stop being so cowardly about it. Same with Dave Umahi. Take a step and stop pandering to the center like your life depends on it.

In the game of politics it is wrong. Some sets of people see Ohaneze as mouth piece of Igbo. Supporting openly will look like putting all your eggs in one basket.

he didn't say Buhari should be endorse by Igbos because he commission Zik museum, he only raise two points
1. By its position, Ohaneze should not openly support any candidate
2. It is very politically immature to announce such open support on the same day Buhari is extending what can be considered as good gesture.
what ohaneze did only shows its low level of political maturity. this low level display is what angered Obiano

Real Igbos are with Ohaneze. Obiano should go and die. His demise will start the day Okwute visits Onitsha for campaign.

Umahi and Obiano are working for Buhari
