2023: We won’t allow campaigns for Igbo Presidential Candidates in North — Arewa Group to Ohanaeze

Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), an Arewa Group, has vowed to disrupt campaign events of Igbo presidential candidates in the North after a similar threat was issued by a prominent Ndigbo group ahead of the 2023 general polls.

President of NYCN, Comrade Isah Abubakar, was reacting to the threat of the apex Igbo socio-political and cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide to oppose Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on which platform the former Vice President recently emerged Presidential candidate.

Reacting to Atiku’s victory, Ohanaeze, had in a statement through its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said that the PDP presidential candidate would never become Nigeria’s president.

The group also made it clear that no Igbo person would be allowed to campaign and project Atiku’s presidential agenda in the region, describing the PDP, which is the main opposition political party in Nigeria as having been reduced to a “Northern party.”

Ohanaeze rejected Atiku’s candidacy, alleging that his emergence as PDP’s candidate was a plot by unpatriotic Northerners against the Southern part of the country.

But NYCN National President, Comrade Isah Abubakar, however, chided Ohanaeze for attempting to stock mutual hatred, and ethnic division among Nigerians, by coming out openly to condemn the transparent process that threw up Atiku as PDP’s flagbearer, ahead of next year’s presidential election.


According to him, Ohanaeze, as a group, has turned itself into agent of disunity, whose stock in trade is to incite Nigerians of varying ethnic, religious, and political creeds against each other.

Isah urged South East elders to quickly call Ohanaeze to order, with a view to forestalling the possibility of other regional ethnic groups issuing same kind of violent threats to politicians from the South East.

“If they don’t do the needful, we may be forced to also take a drastic action against South East presidential candidates. We won’t allow them to set their foot on our land. Otherwise, the consequences will be grave. It is time radical and ethnic chauvinistic groups like the Ohanaeze are cut to size,” Isah said.

Mere talk but I know Ohaneze and Arewa group will settle

No be una fault O! Na Obaseki and Udom, that couldn't step down for Wike to win PDP primaries

Hmmmm....hate begets hate.

Everyone return to your regions.

Arewa groups are helping the disintegration of Nigeria

All these tenure elongation tactics won’t work. Buhari leaves by 29-5-23. No single day will be added.

So his foot soldiers can forget their idea of turning Nigeria inside out in the weeks leading to the elections.

Who sabi this 'group!? Small nyash dey shake.

If power doesn't come to South East, let it go to the north. Dot in the circle..

O ti shele ooo.

Let's dissolve the union

I stand with him on this,Igbo leaders incite too much violence that is why handing power over to the south-east is questionable.
If they don't have a presidential candidate then they should all sit at home like they always did chikena.

Nobody will give you power on a platter of gold,you have to earn it.

Coming from shoe shiners

Are you not tired of this same dumb rhetoric every day?

Ah where them instead of Yoruba man become president north should have it then.

foryourmind:

Are you not tired of this same dumb rhetoric every day?

UGM......on the way as you no dey hear word.

Just wait

Ohanaeze should be called to order... although Ohanaeze never mentioned Atiku wont campaign in the SE.

Really a good News if you ask me

PROBLEM FOR UMAHI AND REST FROM IPOD REPOBLIC

Igbos deserve Biafra if you can't allow them rule in their own country the so called Nigeria.

APC rejected them
PDP rejected them and most of us can even bet money that the Presidency will either favour APC or PDP.

The rests don't have strong structures in States and LGAs.

This one for better o. Igbos will not allow Hausa Fulani campaign in their side too. Time to share Nigeria or election will only take place in West and South South

We told those 5% lunatics but they won't hear, yoruba is their problem, let me see how Obi will become president from labour party. Useless generations of pig.

Don't mind them, the north love them only Yoruba hate them, no wonder they are called 5%. A typical northerner will rather die, than be rule by a hairy monkey. Disgusting animals

But you guys said that those who make peaceful change impossible make violent revolution inevitable after Atiku lost to GEJ in the 2011 primaries. It's obvious that Nigeria is on her last days as a country because of the greed of a set of people who are are unable to make Nigeria an enviable nation even after being in charge longer than others.
