2023: Bury Your Ambitions, Support Ndigbo, Groups Tell Atiku, Tinubu by businessman1: 12:26pm On Feb 27, 2022 |
Leadership Development Foundation and New Generation Leadership Development Foundation have called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to shelve their presidential ambitions and support the South East in next year’s general election. This was as the groups hailed the emergence of several Igbo sons on the political scene, seeking to take a shot at the presidency in 2023. At a news conference Friday in Abuja, the groups encouraged other Igbo politicians to signify interests in their various political parties, but added that the race will not be complete without the involvement of a former Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi. This was part of the text of a communique presented to the media son Friday and signed by Dr Godwin Udibe, Dr Law Mefor as well as Messrs Onyebuchi Obeta and Chike Afoekelu. “We are further motivated and delighted that our vigorous campaign for Nigeria’s president of South East Extraction has inspired some eminent sons of South East divide to signify interest to contest for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2023.

Our twin organizations believe his personality fits the conditions which have been set for aspirants like a glove. You will recall that we gave the conditions at an earlier Press Conference”, the group’s noted. They also urged the All Progressives Congress APC and the Peoples Democratic Party PDP go some their presidnetial ticket to the South East. They said; “Nigeria is now at crossroads and needs a strong leader who has integrity, competence, national visibility and acceptability. Only the deep can call to the deep. “We shall in due course endorse one candidate, post PDP and APC Conventions. “May we also use this opportunity to appeal to the two leading political parties namely the PDP and the APC, to complete their actions on rotation by zoning their presidential tickets to South and particularly to the South East, the only zone yet to produce the President of Nigeria since 1999, and indeed since after the civil war. “The PDP particularly needs not to be reminded that they wrote the principle of rotation of presidential power between North and South Nigeria into their Constitution since 2009 and must obey their own rule to avoid litigation. By the way, may we also inform you that ILDF has made good its threat to go to court on the issue of rotation of presidential power and we are in the Federal High Court with the political parties on this subject matter. “We will not end without advising and appealing to his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to forget his perennial presidential ambition and support the South East that have supported him. We extend the same appeal to His Excellency Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban, and to any other aspirant from Southern part of the country, to also shelve their presidential ambition for the sake of southern solidarity and to support the South East that has always supported them…” |

Isn't it undemocratic to ask someone not to contest because of your own This is a great insult to democracy and to those individuals mentioned. Let Peter Obi contest the position, no one is dashed executive position |

Peter Obi like most Ibo politicians in PDP is a big useless coward. Why is he sending different useless Ibo groups to tell other Nigerians to forget their ambitions for him ? 2 Likes |

Even Buhari, a retired general and former head of State wasn't handed power on a platter of gold. He won after contesting 4 times. Let any Igbo man that wants to contest test his political strength in the ballot and stop waiting for free food.. You can't be against quota system and be in support of zoning. That's double standards.. You all think Northerners can't get jobs in NNPC and the military without quota system abi? But now you are afraid that you can't be president without zoning.. Una never see anything.. 1 Like 1 Share |
