The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Monday, warned that Ndigbo
would resist any attempt to malign Senator Ike
Ekweremadu over his election as the Deputy
President of the Senate.

The Secretary General of the organization, Dr. Joe
Nwaorgu, who made this known while reacting to
media reports regarding the threat on the life of the
Deputy President of the Senate, said Igbo people
were fully prepared to defend him.

The organisation said anybody threatening to harm
Ekweremadu on account of the position he
currently occupies should be ready to face the
consequences as he enjoys the strong support of
his people who are ready to defend him anytime
and any day.

He said that it was a well known fact that Ndigbo
voted massively for Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
in the last election and they are ready to stand by
those they elected to represent them at various
levels of government.

He said: “We are watching closely what is
happening at the national level and we want to let
the world know that we are solidly behind our son,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

“I am saying it loud and clear that Senator
Ekweremadu, who was duly elected by his
colleague as Deputy President of the Senate, is
owned by a people and his people, Ndigbo, are
solidly behind him because they (Ndigbo) voted for
the PDP.

“The grand standing by those seeking patronage
from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,
does not bother us. We stand by our choice without
regrets. Let it be known to all that Ndigbo should
not be taken for granted.”

Dr. Nwaorgu dismissed claims by some APC
senators that Senator Ekweremadu was not
properly elected, saying “if he was not properly
elected, why should the election of Senator Bukola
Saraki conducted at the same time, same day,
same venue and by the same people be upheld as
flawless?”

Continuing, the Ohanaeze scribe said: “Moreover
the Executive has no lien on the legislators because
they are independent and at liberty to elect
anybody they like to lead them which they have
done. The party has no business with the election
of Principal Officers of the National Assembly and
they should avoid overheating the polity.

“They should also know that President Muhammadu
Buhari belongs to all Nigerians and not the APC
alone. Therefore, the party has no right to say that
they have the sole right to dictate what should
happen at the National Assembly or in the country.”

He urged the APC-led Federal Government to
concentrate on implementing its agenda in order to
move the nation forward, stressing that it was not
in their interest to kick-start the government with
crisis.

APGA should also try and cross Onitsha bridge.

I still believe in those parties than PDP.

So we will stay more years with this terror president?

Isn't this about ohaneze ndigbo are you trolls igbo?

These clowns have still not learnt to speak for themselves than claiming to speak for the Ibos.
So because Ekweremadu is Ibo he should not be prosecuted if found to have forged a document?Yeye dey smell.
These fools should ask themselves what 8years of combined Ibo presidency of the senate and another 8years of Ekweremadu deputy presidency brought to the east other than lining their pockets,building mansions for themselves and partying while scamming the southeast with a never ending 2nd Niger bridge.
While the average person in Nigeria is demanding equal justice for all and an economically viable nation where individuals can get their daily bread and fend for their families;some disgruntled and misguided Ohaneze Ndigbo are fighting to keep one individual in an office that won't yield one single economic benefit to the the region and they claim to be speaking for the Ibos?Tah!!

Weak fools. Why not expend this energy on reversing that bridge scam Azikiwe played on you?

Crazy lunatic. We dealt with gbawe, you are not a problem. keep ranting like a mad man you are

The betrayers (West) is already seeing what is playing out in the polity and its gonna get clearer to them soon. The Say Baba slogan emanated from them but Baba is gonna be baba indeed and their usual Aaaaah mouth will cry out loud.
Stripping Ekweremmadu his position now is a thing Western APC will regret if they do so because, North is not even ready to play to the tone of the APC.
The CHANGE IS CHANGING AND MUST CHANGE

Thank you Ohaneze for this masterpiece

Clear eyed Ndigbo voted PDP and we stand by our votes

APC should leave Ekweremadu alone and focus on governance

Ike will not resign and we are solidly behind him. Those who want to commit fraud and threaten our democracy just to remove Ekweremadu are welcome to do so

He will not resign

Bunch of jobless attention seekers just like afenifere!!!

How many Ndigbo social club[i]pun intended[/i] do we have in Nigeria? The other day, some were saying he should step down as so as to make them the favorite for SFG post.
Can we conclusively say this Ndi-ibos's are clueless, confused, directionless, greedy and hypocritical? or a lack of a recognizable leader is taking it's toll on them?
RIP GREAT ZIK OF AFRICA.

We no go gree
