No PDP office will stand in S/East if Igbos are denied presidential ticket – Ohanaeze youths



The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to consider an Igbo as the party’s flag bearer in the 2023 presidential election or face the wrath of the youths.

The group vowed that if PDP failed to cede their presidential ticket to an Igbo candidate, none of their offices will stand in Igboland nor flag will be seen flying in the region.

It vowed that youths would not hesitate to engage in a pitched battle with the party should their demand be rebuffed.

The council stated this through its National President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, on Thursday in a release made available to DAILY POST in Owerri, Imo State.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo said the only way PDP could reciprocate Ndigbo’s 24-year relentless sacrifice was to willingly give its presidential ticket to them, vowing that the youths would not hesitate to engage in a pitched battle with the party should their demand be rebuffed.

Ndigbo is the only tribe that has served PDP since 1999, the Igbo bloc vote was given in 1999-2003 to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the same to President Musa Y’aradua in 2007and Goodluck Jonathan in 2011-2015.

The group sent a stern warning to the conveners of the purported Northern Governors Forum to desist from making utterances capable of disintegrating the country.

The release read, “Without mincing words that, the forum, Northern Governors was inexistent, describing them as few ‘Fulani political power mongers’ who want to drag the Middle-belt into their illusion for them to produce Nigeria president in 2023.

“It’s idiotic to include Taraba, Benue, Nassarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kogi, Kaduna, Kwara etc that have had a fair share of Fulani herdsmen killing, banditry and kidnapping in their so-called imaginary 2023 presidential dream.

“With the quest of Fulani political cabal to retain power in 2023, if they dare it, it’s an indication that Nigeria at 61 this year will be the last independent day the entity called Nigeria will celebrate.”

Umahi and his cohorts pushing this agenda

seunmsg:


A very legitimate agenda if you ask me. Igbos deserve the PDP presidential ticket more than any region. If Atiku is truly an Igbo lover, he should concede the ticket to Peter Obi or Ekweremadu.

Lamasta:

They don't deserve it in APC

NGpatriot:
I don't get it.

Is violence and violence terrorist threats the one and only way to get what they want in the SE?

Why are they so predisposed to violence, death, destruction and evil?

This ohaneze just beating the drum of war by threatening people.

MuchAdo:


They are relatively new in APC....

They need to spend some time and allow those they met there...

Orji Uzoh Kalu, Rocha's Okorocha is new in APC

MuchAdo:


They are outcasts of Igbo politics. And they are/were at the fringes, more like minority stakeholders.

Lamasta:

They don't deserve it in APC

Lamasta:

How will you classify both as outcasts in Igbo politics especially Senator Orji Uzoh Kalu he is the only one I think can call the shot for Presidential ticket from APC but as it is his people are not with him in APC....

Not on a plater of gold. They will have to compete with others in the south who have made sacrifices for the party. If they get it, fine. If not, they should fight for the PDP ticket.

murphyibiam15:

Sure, the south should be left alone with the tickets in both parties

kcnwaigbo:

Neither Igbos not yorubas own the APC.Every section of the country will compete for the presidency across both parties including the North

seunmsg:


It’s such a shame we have folks like you in the south who are swimming against the tide. I’m sure you’re still at shock over the decision of Southern PDP governors to zone the party’s ticket to the north in preparation to have the presidential ticket zoned to the south. Same will happen in APC and we shall have an all south contest in 2023. That contest you’re running from will eventually happen in 2023.
