2023: Ohanaeze Sets Aside N10bn Support Fund For Igbo Presidency, Seeks North’s Support

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said it has set aside N10bn in support fund for the actualisation of Igbo presidency in 2023. This is just as the Igbo socio-cultural organisation started its negotiations with other regional leaders and stakeholders.

Leading a delegation, Secretary General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, met with the National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Yerima Shettima, in Kaduna on Monday.


In a apparent move to solicit support for an Igbo president, Isiguzoro said that Igbos believe in dialogue and negotiation to produce the President from the South-Eastern extraction.

He noted that Igbos in diaspora have set aside a N10 billion fund to support any candidate of Igbo extraction in the 2023 presidential race.

Isiguzoro remarked that the Igbo delegation had met with some religious clerics in the north over the presidential project.

The Ohanaeze scribe pointed out that politicians like Rotimi Amaechi, Peter Obi, amongst others are presidential materials.

We are begging the north to give us the opportunity. You should help us because we know that the North plays the role of kingmaker in politics of this country.

“We are here to ask you to support an Igbo man for the presidency. There should be no more abusive words between North and South-East as we used to read on pages of newspapers.

“What happened to the cordial relationship between Zik and Tafa Balewa? What happened to the good relationship between North and South-East? We must bring back the good memories of old days for the unity and development of Nigeria

“Igbos have one trillion investment in the North. We are for one Nigeria, we are not for Biafra. We need somebody that is of age that can unite Nigeria. We believe in one Nigeria. We have abundant human resources that can take over from Buhari.

“We have people who are committed to serve Nigeria. We have seven states including Rivers and Delta States where we have Igbo speaking brothers. We have politicians like Rotimi Amaechi, Peter Obi, Rochas Okorocha, among others that can run for the presidency,” Isiguzoro said.

While responding, Shetima told the Ohanaeze delegation that it was good to negotiate when seeking for power, adding that nobody achieves a good thing through threats.

“I have always believed in pan-Nigeria. I believe in the unity of one Nigeria. I have been part of many struggles. I am not happy that Nigeria is where it is.

“People who don’t have an idea of history of Nigeria resorted to abusive words and threat. They resort to champion the cause of Biafra. Gone are those days you use threat to look for power.

“It is a welcome development that you are here to discuss the 2023 general election. Politics is about negotiation. You need to rise above board. Nobody will trust power to you if you resort to threat.

Good morning ohanézè. You folks had over eight years to prepare but you chose to cry over Jonathan election loss.

Anyway, better late than never. Let's learn to do better

Conglomerate of fools

Where dem c am.....lol

Old fools.You think it is easy to grab the number one sit just like that.

Good!!.

But ohanézè......this presidency you guys are rushing......hmmm

You guys should know that Nigeria is as good as Dead. The current administration has messed up things big time. If an Igbo man should assume that office in a Aso rock..... you guys gonna see how every tom, dick and Harry will be on the person's neck. They will even paint this buharis administration fine just to castigate the administration of the Igbo person in power. The exodus of hardship, mad debt, increase in the price of commodities will all be tagged on the Igbo person in power.


To me I do say we should step aside and maintain the course of actualization of our sovereign State of Biafra.

But in all........... power returns north. Yoruba must not test the seat of that presidency come 2023......Never

What respect those that are unstable like waves of the sea

Igbo presidency ? Open gate to Biafra. Nigerians must not make such mistake.

Beggars, always begging.
These people have no shame or self worth, after insulting every other tribe in Nigeria they're now going around on their knees begging everyone one.
EWU BIAFRA

Use the 10b for a river port in Azumini and Onitsha, Nigeria presidency is nothing .

River port will help the east more than the presidency of a dying, heavily indebted, insecure republic
