The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has warned Ahmed Bola Tinubu, former Governor of Lagos State, to jettison the plan of planting the seed of discord among Ndigbo and Yorubas.

OYC stated this in a release signed by the National President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, and made available to DAILY POST on Thursday.

OYC while reacting to the meeting of Sen. Bola Tinubu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, with the party caucus of the National Assembly yesterday, Wednesday, March 16, 2022, over his presidential ambition, described it as an attempt to plant the seed of discord between Ndigbo and Yorubas, “who have contributed heavily to the political and economic development of Nigeria.”

It stated that the political differences between Zik and Awolowo were corrected in 1999 when a southeast presidential aspirant and candidate, Dr Alex Ekwueme and Dr Ogbonnaya Onu made a heavy sacrifice on the atonement of ill-political treatment against the Yorubas in 1993 when Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) annulled the election of Chief MKO Abiola.

“We can’t allow a grandfather like Bola Tinubu to plant the seed of hatred, discord political inequality among the new generation of Ndigbo and Yoruba nation. It’s obvious that Bola Tinubu’s presidential project if allowed will put a perpetual discord among the southeast and southwest region, therefore our peaceful coexistence among the two regions is more vital and everlasting than Bola Tinubu’s political interest.

“It’s illogical and unreasonable to allow a grandfather after he must have left the earth, what he planted would continue to grow hate, crises and keep hurting Ndigbo and Yorubas.

“Bola Tinubu’s presidential project is a historical error we must avoid, his presidential ambition will bring negative remote effect to the present and future generations of Ndigbo and Yorubas,” the group said.

“Bola Tinubu ought to without delay become a political hero and father, whose name will not be erased from the political history of Nigeria if he reasonably quits his presidential ambition and supports one presidential aspirant from the southeast in the All Progressives Congress, APC.”

“The southwest between 1999 to 2023 served as the President of Nigeria for eight years and subsequently Vice president for another eight years making it a total of Sixteen years of Presidency. It’s, therefore, morally evil for Bola Tinubu to consider himself qualified to run for the 2023 presidency.

“At this time Sen. Bola Tinubu has the opportunity to become a hero or a villain. If he still chooses to run, he is making himself a villain before the present and new generation of Igbo and Yoruba extraction,” it added.

LagosEmir:
Tinubu don't stand a chance , everything is working against him

His supporters are making the situation worst by making more and more enemies for Tinubu unknowingly

Golan007:
Sharap.

Contest and stop making noise.

AshiwajuFoward:
What kind of discord are they speaking about? Perhaps he means ibos will vex sotay dem go pack comot Yorubaland and return to Biafra on top Tinubu matter. Because me I no understand why na only Tinubu own Ibo people see inside all the aspirants wey dey vie for the presidency. Una tears nevers start.

beerfraud:
like youths like elders
it seems they swear for these people

YorubaNiBaba:
Their stupidity knows no bound, imagine what is coming from these brande*d beerfraud youths
May their never be unity between Yoruba and those w*rthless akpu munching gorr*las

PrinceOfLagos:
[s]
Be careful what you wish for

Tinubu family are already successful and keeping there wealth among themselves alone

Dem no know you

Your helper can come from any tribe , don't curse your helper[/s]

seunmsg:
This is a very disgraceful statement.

YorubaNiBaba:
trash as usual

PrinceOfLagos:
What makes this statement disgraceful?

Truth is bitter to you Tinubu people yeah, I know

PrinceOfLagos:
So are there no Yoruba selling agbo in Igbo land ?

AshiwajuFoward:
What's that got to do with my post? No be your people dey make threats upandan ontop say pesin dey contest? Tinubu is not the reason why there are no sellable Ibo candidates. Ibos themselves killed their own chances owing to many years of hate-filled rhetoric against other tribes in Nigeria.

If Tinubu is to withdraw from the contest today, there are other acceptable Yorubas that can be put forward that'll appeal to the Northern power-blocs that will play the game-changing role in the coming election. Igbos know within themselves that theyve lost political goodwill to vie and win the presidency. They're just being mischievous by trying to make Tinubu the issue here. With or without Tinubu, an ibos stand zero chance of becoming the next president after Buhari. And they have themselves to blame for that.
