The South-East elders and key political actors have intensified consultation with prominent religious and traditional rulers to concretise their plan for Igbo presidency in 2023.

Among those they being reached out to are the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar.

The Secretary General of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum, Prof. Charles Nwekeaku, said this in an interview with Sunday PUNCH.

According to him, having been betrayed by the Peoples Democratic Party, Igbo have seen another route to the 2023 presidency through the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, who he said, had received the backing of northerners.

He said, “You must have read where (Ango) Abdullahi, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, said that they were not accepting the All Progressives Party and the PDP. You must have read that.

“We’ve reached out to them; we’re still talking with them. We’ve visited Sultan of Sokoto. I was even a member of the delegation that met him. So, I’m talking authoritatively.

“Every person goes to market, and the market is not favourable to an average Nigerian today, every person is suffering.

“Every Nigerian, an average progressive minded Nigerian today, wants a change. That change is in favour of Peter Obi of the Labour Party. So Igbo Elders Consultative Forum is working hard, in reaching out, not because Obi is an Igbo.

“We’ve examined them, and he’s ahead of others, in terms of a change, a change of the narrative. All other people, mention any of them, they have been in government; what did they do? They are part of the problem we have today.”

He also said that the security challenges in the South-East allegedly perpetrated by the Indigenous People of Biafra were not peculiar to Igbo states.

Nwekeaku said, “Insecurity is not peculiar to the South-East. You can imagine that presidential convoy was attacked by bandits, and no person has been able to apprehend those bandits till today.

“You can see that in some parts of Niger State, the terrorists have hoisted their flags there, and no person has been able to arrest and detain them, or suppress or neutralise them.

“Go to Katsina State, many parts of Katsina are being taken over by the bandits. So, the South-East is not an exception. But we are also making sure that peace returns. You remember at the eve of Anambra State election, it was rumoured that there will be no election, that the IPOB and other youth organisations have threatened.

“But eventually, by the time we engaged them, there was election. So, in the South-East, there will be election by the special grace of God.”

This is good, inter tribal harmony is a good sign of a nation set to soar.

Only with a Peter Obi presidency can Nigeria outgrow the childish tantrums afflicting some of their old men.

The old corrupt order using tribalism to hoodwink Nigerians are almost all gone, we will retire them at the polls in 2023.

Vote for Peter Obi for a prosperous Nigeria.

Igbos crime against the rest of the country is too deep.
Our wound won't heal soon.
We can't forget in hurry the killing of Hausa traders and innocent Fulani herdsmen in the East.
The most painful part is reading Igbos defending that atrocious act Including Peter Obi

Una just dey learn consultation.. ..I thought you lot were above others in this country.

Can't wait for the day of eRection to come. I want to watch him cry with that his cricket voice

I swear to God...we didn't send any elders to any sultan in futajalon.

Fake elders like fake bishops.. The youths will take the country by themselves. It's not an IGBO thing

Sultan ko,sound sultan ni..

Aboki paddle your camel,let's paddle our fresh palmwine

Mynd44 Seun

You engage them how? BecUse you know them and they’re working for Obi

Obi believe Ozigbo will win reason he and his people talk to IPOB

Epka is following him on Twitter and lots of other IPOB

Obi not igbo project

Obi is an IPOB project to destabilize and unleash violence

Reason IPOB and Ekpa are giving him tactical support .. while attacking soft target to make it appear he’s no one of them..

While burn his campaign car when he was accused of being an IPOB project?

Bingos can never deceive Nigerians

Only e fools and stupid empty sapiens will vote Obi

No rational thinking human will even consider him

Talk more of voting IPOB to aso villa

God forbid

Minority trash stinks from a thousand miles..

Go and verify..

Who send whether you forget,the koko is what can you Minority lots do about it..

Bragging from IDP camps that IGBO taxpayers money sustains...hahahahahaha

TuEh

You mean they are going unity begging?

You mean it is no longer desperation to engage other tribes in Nigeria?

Would they now go to the North and call them uncircumcised Philistine, Cows and Janja-weed?

The empty pride would always fall and bite the dust.

>I have been telling you all. The north has never been against the southeast the way the southwest media tells it for decades.

Clearly the southwest is the region that Hates the southeast .

Why is it only the southwest that has come out aggressively against the southeast presidency. Infact the entire north and Fulani are indifferent. The southwest has threatened bullied and even prevented you ibos from registering for your pvc.

Remember the last election? Was it not a Yoruba oba that threatened you Ibo with drowning in the lagoon if you don't vote APC ? It was the Oba of Lagos that said this not an emir or a seriki.

Since the 70s the Yoruba have told you that Hausa / Fulani hate you ibos because of civil war , since the 70s the Yoruba have told the Hausa / Fulani that the ibos hate them because of the coup. Yet it was only the southwest that has been refusing to allow the southeast produce the president in 2023.

The north is indifferent. Atiku even came out and said that he would withdraw from the race of the APC fields a southeasterner as their candidate the southwest refused, now here we are.
For years the southwest tell you they are liberal. But they are the most angry, hitegr , aggressive and tribalsitic against you Ibo because Peter Obi is running for president not the Hausa or Fulani.

The labour party has held town hall meetings in 5 Northern states , how many have they held in the southwest?

The Yorubas tell you they are liberal yet the day the Ibo traders closed Alaba international market to register their pvc they were attacked and prevented from registering by Yoruba thugs there in Lagos , but the yoruba tell you Fulani / Hausa hate you .

No ibos have been prevented from registering their pvc in the entire north ! But Yoruba tell you Hausa Fulani are your enemy.

During the last election was it not in the southwest that Yoruba thugs week attacking you ibos who came out to vote? Nothing like this happened in the entire Northern states till date , but the Yoruba will tell you they are liberal and the Hausa Fulani hate you ibos.

It's time you ibos take a seat and think who really is your enemy in Nigeria.

Which tribes had its leaders and influencers been most angry and violently oppsiig Peter Obi? It is not the north at all. Infact Northern influencers have come out to voice that it is the turn of the southeast. Infact Northern influencers like Aisha yesufu have been openly campaigning for Peter Obi. Only the Yorubas have been violently attacking Peter Obi and his tribe online and planning how to demarket sabotage and frame him personality. Yet they tell you Hausa hate ibos. Who tells you Hausa Fulani hate Ibo? You hear it in the media, television, radio, newspaper and internet. Who controls the media in Nigeria is it not the southwest?

Check the whole Nigeria less than 1% of any Northerner had criticized Peter Obi or is against him but over 90% of Yoruba infoeujcers and their people have are against Peter Obi , yet they tell you Hausa Fulani hate you.

It is the Yoruba who have refused to honour the rotation of presidency to the southeast. The North never wanted to contest, it was when they saw the greed of the southwest coming to deny the southeast that the north decided to contest.

Even an APC senator said it Senator Orji uzor kalu " Why are the southwest not telling their sons to withdraw from the race since it is the turn of the southeast"? This is a good question. The truth is finally out. The lies spun for decades that the north hates the southeast... Which region has refused to allow the southeast produce the next president.

So next time they are telling you Fulani wants to rule forever remember this...they use the media to divide and conquer, they spin lies and controversy to keep the people fighting each other when in reality they are your real enemy.

Before the civil war the Ibo and Hausa lived and didnbusines peacefully... But the media has always painted the Hausa Fulani and Ibo are mortal enemies and somehow have you noticed the media has always painted the Yoruba and southwest was everybody's friend ? How come ? Who controls the media ?
The Yoruba .

Think .

During the End SARS protests. All youths AROUND Nigeria came out to protest tyranny, even the international community showed solidarity. Form the north South East and West youths marched.

But suddenly only one region saw a chance to attack their true enemy the Ibo.

The Yoruba youths suddenly started the Yoruba Ronu slogan painting the Ibo as their enemy .

They left the protest the hole country was protesting that suddenly started targeting the ibos only...

The Hausa didn't do this the Fulani didn't do this only the Yoruba did this why ?

Think on this

For years they sold you propaganda. That the Hausa Fulani want to islamize Nigeria ...

Why is it despite holding power the most the North never once fielded a Muslim Muslim ticket ?

Why is it , it is the Yoruba who are feildimg a Muslim Muslim ticket .
but the Yoruba media wants you to believe the Hausa Fulani wants to islamize Nigeria ?

All Igbos supporting a failed former Governor, know he is the Igbo candidate, hence the unalloyed support.

Let them ridicule your own with your gullible support, and then come after you for not allowing them total control in the past.

The same people who are suspicious of Northern Nigerians close ties to Niger or Chad, have no issues that their running mate is from Mauritania.

Because they think about themselves alone.

Show me where Obi outperformed Tinubu in governance or political organisation or campaign for democracy.

None!

I have gone to verify, and I will not support a failed hypocritical desperate political prostitute.

Throwback:


All Igbos supporting a failed former Governor, know he is the Igbo candidate, hence the unalloyed support.

Same way Tinubu is Yoruba candidate, hence your support.

Igbo elders are making silent big moves and I know you and your ilks are in pains

You mean they are going unity begging?

Off your mic bros

Let them build their caliphate blidge in peace.

Penguin2:

I am happy you are being humbled daily.

You are now unity begging as your tribe invented the term.

As if Igbos were not the ones that killed the foremost leaders of northern Nigeria, as if they are not the ones killing & maiming innocent northerners doing legitimate business in their region, as if we've forgotten Igbos are backstabbers & hypocrites. North neither forget nor forgive.

CaptainAyub:

Mynd44 Seun

what is wrong with his post?

That's how you guys cry when people tell you the truth..reminds me of how one disgruntled mumu from your camp reported el-rufai on twitter over an innocent post.

Shame!

Just look at the comments above, e be like say my own Nigeria is different from that of other commentators

QuotaSystem:


Off your mic bros

Let them build their blidge in peace.

Let them pursue harmony for the sake of an Igbo President, then revert to default mode after.

Igbos haven't held power for 60 years, 8 more years won't make any difference..

Deep down Igbos know Peter Obi can't win...

The only losers here are Nigerians hanging on tribalism and religious bigotry, at least paid supporters are getting something..

I hope they brought along some crates of Obi’s Hero beer to Sokoto.

Cry for what? For loosing 600 billion naira in election? The accolades Obi has gotten locally and Intercontinentally is enough achievement for him. Clenching that seat may even stain his name.
After money and fame, the next thing a man ought to get himself is a good name.
