2023: Ohanaeze backs Peter Obi, hours after Afenifere did same




The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has endorsed the 2023 presidential bid of the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, stating that adoption of a Muslim-Muslim ticket by the All Progressives Grand Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Bola Tinubu, has widened the gap of mistrust amongst the Nigerian people.

The Vice President of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Damian Okeke -Ogene stated this on Thursday at a press conference in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

He however said the APC arrangement had made the 2023 presidential race easier for other political parties who respected the sensibilities of Nigerians by reflecting equity, fairness and good conscience in their choices of candidates in the general elections.

.
He assured that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo would give the presidential candidate of the Labour Party ( LP), Peter Obi, the necessary support and encouragement to actualise his aspiration and change the narrative in the country.

He said, " We appeal to the new Nigeria movement in support of Obi and the Labour Party LP to disregard and ignore self-centered individuals, especially those from the South-East, who are speaking from both sides of their mouths.

"The Nigerian youth are out and determined to take ownership of the country from the old order. Votes must count in 2023 elections and no longer business as usual, which will birth a new Nigeria, adding, "the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, represents the face of a new Nigeria without any any ethnic coloration.

The Igbo leader noted that Obi's emergence had engendered what he called a tsunami-like movement across the country, made up of Nigerians from all ethnic groups, adding, " Any attempt by one religion to dominate the political structure will only widen the gap of mistrust and destroy the delicate sense of tolerance cultivated over the years."

The Ohanaeze position came barely 48 hours after an elder statesman and leader of Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo, had backed 2023 presidential aspiration of Peter Obi.

The elder statesman explained that the decision to back the Labour Party was in line with his belief that the South-East should produce the nation’s next president.

According to him, the decision to endorse the Labour Party was also the position of Afenifere as a group.

The Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation is one of the groups that make up the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF).

Other groups in the forum are the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, and the Middle Belt Forum.

.

Next will be Middle Belt forum, then Niger Deltans and finally to the surprise of many, Northern Elders Forum.

Interesting times

Ohaneze back their kinsman but Afenifere is backing another tribe candidate whose his kinsmen abuse Yoruba people day and night, they abuse our Muslims and called them derogatory name



anyway Afenifere back Gej in 2014 but when Tinubu didn't back him, he didn't get the votes in West


Tinubu is our leader, those mumu Afenifere can go to hell, but why are Yoruba always seeing outside who see them as nothing than their own son that had been fighting for Yoruba national political inclusion that they were shortchanged under Gej

For me and my gangs, it is Tinubu barking

Disgraceful of Afenifere but they no longer matter and no longer weild any sort of influence so their endorsement of Obi is not here nor there.

Important to note as well that almost all influential Yoruba leaders are 100% behind Tinubu.

that's why no Yoruba listen to them, they're so naive thinking Ohaneze who promote her ethnicity agenda send anybody



Tinubu Presidency is a sure banker, everything is in favour of Baba Seyi

Truth is that there is a big gap in thinking and political perception between the truly knowledgeable, influential and exposed Nigerians in comparison to the idealists and young folks who do not really have any idea of how Nigeria really works.

The former are behind Tinubu and they wield considerable influence. It is why Tinubu will win comfortably in my opinion. Resources win elections in Nigeria.

That is the truth many do not want to accept. Cumulatively, Tinubu has the most resources, influential support and clout of all the candidates running.

As for Afenifere, they are just a bunch of malicious gossips who are clueless, vindictive, envious and irrelevant these days.

But I don't understand you people o. Don't you and your children have to live in this country AFTER the election??
Of all people in Nigeria is it really someone with so many scandals we should be voting for president? And a KNOWN Boko Haram sponsor and rabid tribalist for VP?
Plus the guy is the one who vigorously sold us the failure called Buhari, and was part of his inner circle as leader of the ruling APC and therefore shares fully in Buhari's failure. Is that something to be rewarded?
Plus the man is way too old, peeing himself all over the place and always abroad for medicals.
Of all people in Nigeria is this really who we should be supporting for the presidency?!
Please advise, WHAT EXACTLY is your rationale for supporting him??

As for PO, you know fully well he has a squeaky clean image for a reason. An image they are soo jealous of. Godfather types swore to destroy him, and after decades of digging, what did they come up with? Pandora! A big, fat NOTHING that everone was on (see below), Obi's own being the mildest. I honestly don't know how Nigeria produced such a politician!
Plus his renowned frugality with public funds and cost of governance.
Plus he is at the PERFECT age to be president!

Same way they backed Jonathan in 2015 and Atiku in 2019

Bunch of losers

Ohanaeze

Moh247:


If this is how your father taught you to talk to strangers early in the morning then it's a shame

You are human and you can do better, if not for anything so that people won't see Peter Obi in a manner not good

I repeat, you are loser in this issue.

Obidient4life2:

You can keep dealing with propaganda, half-truth and deceit. I'll continue relying on facts and proven reality The sort that makes it obvious Peter Obi is a big fraud who cannot wipe the feet of Tinubu per administrative leadership, brilliance and efficacy.

Only propagandists and irredeemable bigots like you would dare compare Obi-led Anambra to Lagos that, under Tinubu, became the 6th biggest economy in Africa and most prosperously progressive State in Nigeria by far.

You keep dealing with propaganda to shore up Obi's empty 419 CV. When campaign begins properly we will show you and others what Tinubu is about and what he has delivered that no Nigerian Governor, post 1999, comes remotely close to matching.

This also confirm again that Peter Pandora Obituary's presidency is an Ibo project

Yes it’s good. Leave it like that

Anambra is leading Lagos in fiscal responsiblity. If Peter Obi had led Lagos, the state would have been the 4th largest economy

More empty rhetoric and propaganda like Obi Pandora’s investment scam.

Is that why literally thousands of Anambra folks keep trooping into Lagos daily?
