PRESS STATEMENT.

27th December, 2022

Arthur Eze and other prominent Igbo leaders rejection of Peter Obi's jaundiced ambition, bold, courageous, and timely.

Prince Arthur Eze's open endorsement for Atiku Abubakar, GCON, and rejection of Peter Obi's jaundiced presidential enterprise is a clear indication that the Obi aspirations is now a mockery and a journey to nowhere.

Whatever remains of Mr. Peter Obi and his social club's ego ambition has been destroyed and dismantled by the declaration of the oil and gas tycoon and philanthropist; it is now clear that Mr. Peter Obi's desire does not have the support of notable Igbos and leaders as often claimed.

The Ukpo, in Anambra State-born royal prince, elder statesman, and pan-Nigerian, has joined Governor Charles Soludo, CFR, and other leaders of Igbo extraction in distancing themselves from the comedy ambition of the Labour Party candidate and his stereotype of being an Igbo candidate.

While we applaud Prince Eze for being brave and speaking the truth when it was most needed, it is also undeniable that Ndi-Igbo are not politically headed for disaster and that we still have leaders who are willing to use their wealth of experience, discernment, and bravery to defend the region's interests against widespread prejudice.

Peter Obi cannot assert to know more about Nigerian politics than Prince Eze, Soludo, and numerous others who have persisted in advising him against running for president in 2023 because doing so would endanger Igbo political survival in Nigeria and would prevent the region from forming the necessary alliance with other geopolitical regions of the nation for an Igbo presidency.

In many societies, when individuals like the prince of Ukpo speak, everyone eventually listens and heeds their advice, given his awareness of history, familiarity with politics, and comprehension of the complexities of the Nation; these virtues shouldn't be lacking in our own society.

The window is yet open for Peter Obi to rescind his ego ambition and join in the negotiations for a bankable future for Ndi-Igbo and the project to recover and rescue Nigeria.

Elections are not decided on the altar of sentiment and emotions, and given the current state of affairs, Obi is playing with the emotions of our people rather than realizing that he lacks the architecture, people, and resources necessary to even finish second, let alone win.

With Arthur Eze's endorsement of Atiku Abubakar, GCON, we are now certain that Anambra State will collapse for the PDP Presidential candidate and ensure maximum victory for the Atiku-Okowa ticket, which would help to recover Nigeria and ensure a better place for Ndi-Igbo in the leadership of the country.

The Atiku-Okowa Management Committee in Anambra State, which is headed by Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, has persisted in making sure that nothing is overlooked for the Atiku-Okowa ticket's victory in the state. Okonkwo has also praised Prince Arthur Eze for his leadership and for being a deserving representative of ndi-Igbo.

Haha!

...who have persisted in advising him against running for president in 2023 because doing so would endanger Igbo political survival in Nigeria and would prevent the region from forming the necessary alliance with other geopolitical regions of the nation for an Igbo presidency.

There is no better way to form alliances with other parts of Nigeria than running under a party that belongs to ALL Nigerian workers.

Plus, Igbo Presidency is an unfair thing to say in a country with over 700 language groups. I'm Igbo, but I don't believe in Igbo Presidency. I believe in competence and Obi represents it. Even Obi has said that he's not taking Igbo turn, and I respect that to the Heavens.

If you know Obi, tell him to NEVER yield to these ungodly pressures. Naysayers have always said nay. They fought the greatest people (eg. Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad) from the home front. But, today, where are the people that fought them?

That makes Obi not an Igbo candidate, those seeing him as Igbo agenda will think otherwise.

Igbo leaders fvcked up big time

From that meeting Obi of Onitscha had with Atiku, and many publications it's clear they have abandoned Obi

Northerners are heavily supporting Southern aspirant yet this Igbo leaders are acting funny


.

Isoright.
Your real enemy is your household

The last time I checked, the SW didnot support OBJ's ambition in 1999 and 2007.
Besides, Arthur Eze can't even deliver his polling unit in Anambra state. Go and verify

so people want to tell me that because of this old aged ridden man

The people of Anambra will not rslky around obi their son?

Does he wield so much power even in his village?

Peter Obi is a stupid goat that's why Igbo leaders are not supporting him. A 3rd class olodo and scammer cannot be the choice of a great race like Igbo.

Peter Obi is better

PureMe01:

No wise person who gets to know Obi will fail to become Obidient. You think it's for nothing that ONE man went to a little-known party and millions upon millions followed him there and are happily supporting him with their hard-earned resources?

I believe that Moh247 has seen reasons with us. And, that's what every wise person would do.

Corrected: Peter Obi is not corrupt. That's why corrupt Igbos are not supporting him. That's how corrupt Igbos colluded to impeach him as a governor for refusing to inflate the budget. Even the Buhari Government testified to this on a Democracy Day: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2018/05/obi-impeached-refusing-inflate-anambra-budget-presidency/amp/

If this people think they will get presidency from Atiku,they are joking,after an Atiku it is northcentrals turn to rule before igbo

AllTheWayUp:
Igbos will dump Peter Obi as usual and vote Atiku on election day... quote me anywhere

As usual? No, the reason why Igbos voted Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan was on the ground of competence. That tells you how detribalized the average Igbo is. And that's why we think it's unfair for you to not support an Igbo who is competent. When we supported Obasanjo, Yaradua, and GEJ, we did so from the beginning to the end. So, stop talking as if we abandon Igbo contestants after supporting them.

Sorry, he's going nowhere.

My choice

Tinubu
Kwankwaso
Obi

Anyone of this guys would make a good President

Arthur eze is a nobody in anambra. Every person he supported for governor lost elections. Even the soludo he is calling future president, eze supported andy uba over him. Today he and uba are in court over 200 million he gave uba for elections.

Personally d non-endorsement of Obi by Arthur Eze goes to show one thing that Obi is not corrupt and as such d elites who often profit through emasculation of d people collective resources are scared of what a frugal Obi government holds in stock for them and their affluence lifestyle. Arthur Eze is confused. At one point in d influenced epistle he said Obi should wait until it's his turn and almost immediately he echoed that Soludo should be tipped when we are talking about President of Igbo extraction in future. A cleared confused personality meaning by his understanding Obi can never aspire. It's now clear that why Soludo actually came against Obi was as a result of this suspicion that if Obi becomes d president that Soludo, his fellow Igbo can never become President again

Is one man to one vote.

The money bag politicians has been holding the country to ransom. That's the structure LP and the masses want to destroy.

They are the reason why Nigerians are suffering.
Most of them have refinery abroad with the money they looted, meanwhile we don't have one here.

These are the few igbos that can see the future. The few children that are shouting Peter Obi , never know anything.
Atiku is the next president.
