Ohanaeze apologises for not providing rallying point during PDP, APC presidential primaries

Following Governor David Umahi’s outburst against the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo over its attitude during the last Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary elections, which saw a woeful performance of candidates from South East, Ohanaeze, yesterday, tendered an apology to Ndigbo, Umahi and others for not providing a rallying point for them to garner more delegates for the zone during the two primaries, insisting that it’s not over for South East.

It will be recalled that Umahi, who is also the Chairman of, the South-East Governors Forum, had, during the matriculation of Kind David University of Medical Sciences Ubuntu, criticised the President General (PG) of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, for his alleged role in the failure of aspirants from the region in the just concluded presidential primaries, declaring he would no longer recognise him as the PG of the pan-Igbo cultural body.

Umahi, a former presidential aspirant of the APC, alleged that Obiozor was partisan. He said: “Instead of making himself a rallying point during the struggle for the presidency of Igbo extraction, he failed to stand for the South East when it mattered most, saying that it is a shame.

Meanwhile, in a statement in Abakaliki, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, called for a truce and calm, adding that the blame game should lessen, stressing that they are back on the drawing board, in partnership with stakeholders in the South East as it’s not over until it’s over.

Isiguzoro stated that the Igbo organisation shares in the traumas and pains of Ndigbo, particularly in the lamentations of Umahi, noting that Ohanaeze tenders unreserved apologies to Ndigbo and the South-East governors.

We know why,

BRIBE is THICKER than TRIBE

According to our inebriated OP here, Mr Isiguzoro calling "for a truce" means Ohaneze pleading with "apologies"!
Typical Tinupoo internet hoodlum and his wayward propaganda. Why should Ohaneze apologize in the first place? What are they apologizing for? Does the Ohaneze control any part of The APC or The PDP? Can Ohaneze force any candidate to remove himself from the contest after whipping out over a hundred million!? Did Afenifere or YCE convince Tinupoo or Osibanjo to withdraw?

I think this new Tinupoo propaganda against Ohaneze in particular and igbos in general is to make it look like there was a contest in the first place, there was none. Buhari and Tinubu have already agreed on a "turn by turn lootocracy" since 2015! Tinupoo arranged the South West support that Buhari needed to thrive for the past 8 years and now , it's buharis turn to do the same. Trying to inject Ohaneze into the equation is just a clever attempt to use their presence and participation as a good reason to justify a crooked electoral process.

Umeahi said that he left The PDP because he saw no hope for an Igbo president there in the coming elections, even after The PDP made an Igbo a vice presidential candidate. Then next thing the political turncoat did was to jump into APC where there will never be any hope for any Igbo president for the next three decades if the chains Keep running as Tinupoo and Buhari have organized it is doing.. He is now trying to blame everyone else but himself! Who is fooling who?

This ohaneze group are jokers ... Greed ans self centered people who don't speak the minds of the igbos

But why is Onaheze not identifying with Peter Obi as a rallying point for SE presidency or he's like the proverbial prophet that has no honor in his own home ?

Lol. Igbo guys dulling themselves when the North and their Muslim ilk were playing 4D chess.

If southern Nigeria wants to overcome Northern domination they must learn how to play the game of politics, however dirty it might seem.

Too late

The rallying point for APC will not be Dave Umahi

IgOga:
Igbos are not smart in politics....president they give you body language say he go anoint una and you believed.....can't believe his tantrum...behaving like a child...."where is justice?" ---se you win dem say you nor win ni? Dey await Buhari's ororo wey Aisha don use cook for Baba

Unfortunately, we told them the below 8 years ago,
2014, but our people never listened to us.
2023 would have been the best and perfect time for us Igbos to Rule, but for where, they pitched their tent with politics of hatred and bitterness.
It's a shame.
The below is the HARD TRUTH, for your reading pleasure.


NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 


SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who 

Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone?

So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?
really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary responses from nonentities .
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

endsarrrs:
The Southeasterners were online voting for their own people.

Please, people should stop getting it twisted.
Not all Igbos are Igbos cannibals, murderers and animals.
We igbos are great, sensible and good people.
We won't allow some miscreants and cannibals that are not up to 1% of our tribe/population to keep giving us bad image in the face of other Nigerians and the WOLRD at large.

We will keep making this clear everytime we come across where anyone want to juxtaposed us together with forests animals , AKA Igbos swines.
We are not cannibals in our tribe, we do not eat human beings...... NEVER!!

We Rise.

Even ohaneze knows peter obi is a joker

He might rule nigeria but not 2023 ,he go be o see le kini olule

Note: please if you are sick upstairs don't quote me,hence won't read your response

This current Ohanaeze chairman is useless.

How can he be apologizing to a foool like Umahi?

Is the organisation a political party?

K

Ohaneze has since lost its relevance in Nigerian politics. A house divided among itself and filled with greedy individuals cannot prevail. The more reason they sold out their votes during the primaries for pennies and to the detriment of their ethnic candidates.

Peter Obi was wise enough to break away from the shackles of money politics and corruption.
Come 2023, we are changing that narrative.

Mumu. Umahi is only naive because Ohaneze, the delegates and his party members are people he his meant to be upset and hate on
I no know why he come catty him agonyput for Peter Obi head as if PO23 na reason for him misfortune.

How many spokespersons does ohanaeze have?

I'm a Muslim and many truthful and sensible Yoruba Muslims and even real Hausa Muslims have been saying the Truth that was not Popularized. Many of us truthful Muslims are tired of seeing Nigeira becoming so stagnated by Visonless people that have nothing good to offer Except to play this religious card. Ghana is now far more Respected and Progressive than Nigeria because this People don't care a hoot about Real Progress for this Country.

Only gullible ones still get manipulated by them. Greater Nigeria that we can all be Proud of is what we demand! That Nigeria is already starting, but a few Population is already trying to manipulate the Country into another unnecessary Hatred! Our eyes don Clear! Tinubu has really worked up to this Level. Every sensible Person knows that Christians would massively Vote Atiku in as President if Tinubu falls for this myopic Trap. Religious Extreemists should not manipulate him to fall for the Muslim-Muslim that guarantees failure for his Life-long Ambition.
Same few population that came into our Land to use Religion to Deceive and Divide Orginial Nigeirans. Not sure if Tinubu can last long on the Seat if he chose any of them as Vice, they have done their Turn! They should allow Tinubu free hand to chose a Christian like he said in a meeting that Christian Vice is Balancing, Uniting and Progressive, just as he wisely Balanced Lagos Politics till date. The Nigeria Invaders Greed for Power and Land-grabbing from Orginial Nigerians is well known. They Kill real Hausa Muslims anyhow and take over their Lands, they killed Abiola and his Wife, any Yoruba or Hausa Muslim that Support their latest religious Manipulation is an incorrigible daft. Those that even mute the idea of Muslim-Muslim ticket in a Secular Country must Apologize to all Nigerias immediately! Just last Week, Same deceptive manipulative People tried to force their Person on Nigerian as Consensus Cand. They have Proven that they wish Tinubu and Original Nigerias no good at all. I will not like all effort that Tinubu as made to become useless beacuse of some myopic People that think with their Anus.
Regardless of your Religion, when shall Original Nigerians have sense and stop being enslaved through their Enemies Deception?! Ilorin is still clear! Are you Destined to live as Slave Forever?! If you are, I am not!

Another fake news. APC ebonyi chapter has come up to eulogies umahi. Useless party feeding on propaganda. Like ohaneze told the delegates to sell their votes or not to vote for them?. How best did or has ohaneze done to divert party delegates from them. A fake news for a southern tribe with fake Muslims to mastubate on.

Vote Peter Obi for President

Thumb Print for Labour Party..

BIAFRA OR DEATH, WE DONT WANT ANYTHING FROM THE ZOO. PETER OBI SHOULD COME HOME AND BE THE PIONEER PRESIDENT OF BIAFRA OR HE WILL TREATED AS A SABO

Ohanaeze is afraid of Peter obi cos they know he's not gonna give them kickbacks . They're composed of retired corrupt politicians and I hope igbo youths would ignore all their rants and do the needful by supporting obi. Money sharing is what has led Nigeria into where she is today

Noted.

No need to apologise. Don't you people have shame.

The Messiah is coming!

a time to choose between the old money bags and our younger most qualified Peter Obi to move the country either more backward or forward be wise. Nigeria need to work again so vote people that will make it work. You can vote someone that bribe all the delegates to win election to come and work for you. So the money he gave to delegates how will it get it back

chai not again. Since your star boy couldn't bribe his way more than that old currupt money bag. You have not been yourself. You see what we have been saying Peter Obi left pdp because he couldn't bribe his way too. So all these write up is just plain rubbish.we shouldn't always have to choose thieves to lead us. No one is giving any tribe 2023 president if we claim to love this country. those old money bags must be retired. Osibanjo would have been better. We need things to change we can't continue to repeat the same thing and expect result. Sorry I know you love your post very well but I think its time to give it up and support Peter Obi to move this country forward
