PRINCE UCHE ERONDU IS THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLICITY OF THE PAN NIGERIA
PRESIDENCY OF IGBO EXTRACTION, PANPIEC. IN THIS NO HOLDS BAR INTERVIEW
HE EXPLAINS THE PURPOSE OF THE GROUP AND HOW THEY SET TO ACHIEVE THEIR
AIM



QUESTION; Sir may we know the objectives of PANPIEC which is now a
house hold name in Nigeria.

ANSWER; PANPIEC is the acronym for PAN NIGERIA PRESIDENCY OF IGBO
EXTRACTION COALITION . Its main aim is to ensure good governance in
Nigeria by electing a Pan Nigerian Igbo man as President in 2023.

QUESTION; Why do you think its the turn of Igbos to produce Nigeria President.

ANSWER; Other parts of Nigeria have produced Nigeria President except
the Igbos . We believe for Nigeria to have lasting peace and stability
an Igbo has to be President. Let the thing go round before we now
decide whether to stop zoning of the office .

QUESTION; How do you hope to achieve your aim.
ANSWER' ; We are building a network and bridges all over the country to
achieve that. WE have several groups from all over the country in our
coalition and more are joining daily. We intend to make PANPIEC a
mass movement.

QUESTION; The other time some people in the North noted that power
would remain there even up to one hundred years . Also its known that
some Yorubas have interest in the position. What do you say to that


ANSWER; Well people can say what they like or grandstand the way they
want. The reality on ground is that Nigerians are tired of these
characters that want to keep us down for their selfish reasons. If the
nation must move forward , there must be political equity and don't
forget that PANPIEC has Nigerians from all works of life in the
group. Our National Co ordinator Aminu Muhammed is from the North and
our Secretary General Kola Alayande is from the West. Who is more
Northerner or Westerner than these distinguished Nigerians.


QUESTION ; What is the structure of PANCIEP like.

ANSWER; We have the National Executive Council, Zonal units, state
units, local government units , tertiary school units and ofcourse our
international units. We have a BOT that acts as ombudsman to the
organisation , two from each geo-political zones of the country and
Eminent Nigerians for that matter.

QUESTION; The apex Igbo group Ohanaeze Ndigbo said what Igbos are
interested is restructuring of Nigeria and not necessarily Igbo
Presidency. What is your take on that.

ANSWER; We call it Nigeria Presidency of Igbo extraction rather than
Igbo Presidency. In any case we are for anything that will make
Nigeria work for all her citizens.We do not disagree with Ohanaeze but
one of the Movers of PANPIEC Chuks Ibegbu is also the spokesman of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo so I do not think the group is uninterested in our
Worthy cause.


QUESTION; How do you hope to achieve your aim and who are the
Candidates you are targetting.

ANSWER; We are not targetting any candidate for now. At the right time, the right candidates will emerge and Nigerians will choose
among them. Our message for now is for all the political parties to
zone the Presidency to the South East in particular and Igbo land in
general . That is our message and we are consulting far and wide to
achieve this. We shall also see President Muhammadu Buhari on that
in the days ahead.

QUESTION; What is your message to Nigerians and Igbos for now


ANSWER; Ndigbo should build network and ask their best to come out at
the appropriate time to vie for the position. And we call on Nigerians
to identify with PANPIEC and support our programmes.

THANK YOU PRINCE ERONDU FOR FINDING TIME TO BE WITH US

ANSWER; You are welcome.
