2023: Ohanaeze’s secretary backs Amaechi, says Igbo can’t be President

The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Uche Okwukwu, has said that the people of the South-East played themselves out of the 2023 Presidency by failing to vote for the All Progressives Congress in the 2019 general elections.

Okwukwu said he was supporting the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who stated that the Igbo had by act of omission or commission made it impossible for them to win the Presidency in the next four years.


He made his position known in a statement made available to journalists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Monday.

He described Amaechi’s assertion as true, adding that the Igbo denied President Muhammadu Buhari a presence in the South-East by failing to vote for him (Buhari).

He said, “Amaechi’s statement is correct because they betrayed him; they betrayed Ndigbo. You must have followed the event leading to the confusion, where a socio-cultural organisation adopted President Muhammadu Buhari without affording Amaechi the opportunity of participating in the meeting of Ndigbo.


“Amaechi is an Igbo man. He has openly said he is Igbo. So, why would you deny him the opportunity of participating in the meeting that purportedly endorsed Buhari and then you denied him the opportunity of presenting his own bulk to the Igbo.

“Of course, whether we agree or not, politics is reality. By not voting for Buhari and denying him any presence in Igboland, we have to a large extent, by omission or commission, shut ourselves out of the presidency in 2023.

“Even if you go to the convention of the APC, Igbo cannot win the primary in the APC. This is because they don’t have any senator, no governor, nobody in the APC. So, how will they win the primary? It is a sad thing, but it is the reality on the ground.

“Amaechi’s predictable assertion to the effect that Ndigbo had by an act of omission or commission shut themselves out of the presidency come 2023 is nothing but the truth.”

Here we go again

I disagree

They can produce under Pdp in 2063

Igbo lack political smartness. They are just emotional and sentimental when it comes to politics.

That is not Ohaneze secretary.... he was suspended last year.

He is an ordinary SE person with his own opinion.

Firstly Rotimi is not an igbo man.

Rotimi is a yoruba man so his statement is their view.


Finally who even allowed this rivers state people and ikwerre into Ohaneze....even to become secretary.


Are we really organized at all.

Igbos are not ready even till 2035

Guyz this 2023 thing is becoming something else when we are still waiting for may 29, 2019.


Na waoooo for Nigerians and thier quest for power.

Okwukwu or whatever his name is a weed smoker. Senseless talk.

PDP is a major party in Nigeria and Igbos always claim they own the party. Instead of wailing over APC and who the party will present in 2023, they should put up a strong Igbo candidate that can win PDP’s presidential ticket. A Peter Obi/Tambuwal PDP ticket vs Osibanjo/El-Rufai APC ticket for example will lead to a very interesting presidential election.

While Yorubas are making effort to secure APC ticket, Igbos should drop their defeatist attitude and start making effort to get PDP presidential ticket. 2023 should be an all south contest. If Igbos refuse to contest for PDP ticket, Wike and other south south leaders should go for it.

We have always known the boldened is the crux of the matter, the SS can run under PDP, same as the SW under APC.... SE can support any person even from YPP, or CPC or choose to run.

It's their choice.

nonsense

Esseite:
All these political blackmails to coerce the SE into APC holds no water...

Nigeria is not running a one party system, neither is APC the only political party..

as you know, pdp are dead, no other party can challenge apc til 2050

Well, dream on... PDP made larger claims.

I agree it’s the choice of the SE to run or not. Whatever the case, they should stop wailing about APC and face their choices.

How do they wail about APC when APC chieftains are making it known that no SE can be president.. the SE have made no statement on it neither are they bothered about it or being acknowledged under APC.

But one thing you cant take is, PDP in its 16years, never made such divisive comment on any region.. that's the difference and the purpose of their choice.

The anti-Tinubu statement was issued yesterday officially by Ohaneze Ndigbo. I can come up with other similar threads. My point is very straightforward, you Igbos should leave APC members alone as they battle towards 2023.

Yes because it was same man that ran to abuja to counter ohanaeze prior to 2019 elections.

May be , may be not

And same ohaneze suspended secretary said Igbos cant be president... connect the dots.

It was written by same suspended secretary.

You mean SE preferred to be a stooge in Pdp? You guys claimed to have big stakes in Pdp, why not contest for the presidency under the same party.

2023 all south candidates would be interesting.. Make we settle the scores one and for all.

When you are the onse writing every evil thing against Igbos...

yorubas can never be president come 2023....


Leave Igbos alone and focus on your weed business.

We know this political tactics, Tinubu is only looking for a featherweight who does not have his clout to wrestle with.. reasons below:

- Tinubu cant nominate another SW for presidency, a president cant be pocketed and would take charge of his power blocks and clout.. a pocketed president would be rubbished by NASS.

- Tinubu can try to be president, but chances of win is so low.. a Northern candidate in opposition would sweep the polls and the party losing power, that is why he is gearing, trolling, insulting the SE with everything to compete with him, but they are not bothered or moved.

- A SW candidate not coming from him under APC would seem like a political war against him, while the opposition may not be looking that way.

political post is not given..it is earned

Why do you guys mentioned Tinubu even when not necessary? Even we from.SW dont worship him he way you guys do.

Take Tinubu out of the pictures. We have Osibanjo, Fashola, Akinwunmi..

Apart from Peter Obi, which other credible and sellable politicians do you have?

Khaki can never be a leather.

Heli, relax... the political tone need not be said before it's being seen.

An appointee not coming from him would be seen as a political battle, a pocketed president would be rubbished by NASS, the opposition may not be looking the way of SW for presidency.

Osibanjo - Pocketed.
Fashola - Political battle.
Akinwunmi - Not party partisan.

This is the fix SW is in...

Like I said , we don't worship Tinubu the way you guys do. For Obasanjo not to to be relevant in his political wards not to talk of his constituency gives an idea the type of politics we play. Few may be fighting for their pockets, but if you failed to display your omoluabi's attitude, straight to dust bin. Ajimobi, Amosun are recents victims.

And btw, stop bringing others down for no reasons. Osibanjo pocketed? Like he has no senses? Not matured enough to make the right decisions? That's unfair

You got it wrong on the Osibanjo, pocketed means he is loyal to a Godfather, why do Governors still run to Tinubu while having a Vice president for 4 years and counting. And its glaring the treat he gets from the presidency cabal is not that of an independent VP.

You can only show omoluabi attitude in the state or regional reign, you cant do that in the nationwide scene, the division you would steer would make your reign ungovernable and that is one of the reasons Tinubu is being rejected as presidential candidate.

Even Buhari had to step down his ill characters while Arewa claims he is a president of the SW.

Like I told Esseite and other meddlesome Igbos, stay by the side and watch other southern groups battle for 2023 presidency. We understand you guys are not interested; that’s your choice. Just stop attacking Yoruba and other southern interest.
