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.”

passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing.

The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard.

The airline in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said that other passengers around him offered to translate what was being said in English to him, but he insisted that the crew must brief him in Igbo language.

Besides, Iwarah said that efforts to relocate the unruly passenger from his seat to the other proved abortive despite the intervention of the cockpit crew.

He, however, said that the passenger who had earlier on May 12, 2019 missed his morning Lagos-Owerri flight was communicating to its ground staff in fluent English, but later showed up for the afternoon flight in good time and was issued an over-wing exit seat on request .

He insisted that his antics of not being able to communicate in English were meant to delay the flight.

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights.

He said: “When all efforts to have Mr. Aniagboso cooperate with the crew failed, the crew advised him to change his seat as the flight was already running late. He declined the advice to change his seat.

“The captain of the flight, who was eventually briefed on the development, also did everything to secure Mr. Aniagboso's cooperation to no avail. At this point, our crew members were left with no other alternative than to advise Mr. Aniagboso to disembark to enable the flight depart.

“Only those who were able to clearly understand and express their willingness to perform their safety responsibility are allowed by aviation regulations to sit in the exit row. It is also clearly stated in the safety cards that only those who can speak English are allowed to sit in the exit row.

“All through Mr. Aniagboso interaction with our ground staff, he communicated in fluent English. So, his claim of not being able to communicate in English at the point of the safety briefing was meant to disrupt and delay the flight.

“Air Peace takes pride in promoting the use of all local languages on board our flights without discrimination. We encourage our crew to speak the local language whenever it is possible to do so. But we do not allow passengers with ill motive to disrupt our flights and endanger the safety of our esteemed customers and crew.

“Conducts with the potential of jeopardising the safety of our esteemed customers and crew are not welcome on any of our flights,” he added.

You can be comical, sometimes

Ibe dressed like the Arabians. And you are defending the picture with another one where a president isn't dressed like your president

Hian

Also you need to understand that the host Alan presents to you at point of entry a souvenir which May contain clothes of the host country

It’s diplomatic relationship like I said

izzou:
Okay

Below is the picture of Saudi delegates in our Senate. Nowhere did they dress like us "as a sign of love for their hosts"

hisexcellency34:
He looks like a Fulani herdsmen

I don’t know why I love listening to fools atimes

daddytime:
This guy is the biggest flop and disappointment in this outgoing regime.

I actually expected more from him considering the hypes following his appointment.

If he was any different, he should have honourably resigned his appointment to save his name and integrity.

Huge Bleep up...

You made a good point if it in an ideal society

The problem is not kachikwu it’s me and you and others

We love corrupt people

Kachikwu can’t be everywhere

izzou:
Lets say the tables are turned: Nigeria playing hosts to the Arabians

Will those Arabians wear suits and jackets?
Will those Arabians wear Agbada or Isi Agu or Babariga?

Na ask I dey ask

Brother they do

Most of this sentiment we hear of are just within the low class

They wine and dine and even do olo........s....ho together

izzou:
But if I may ask?

Why did he have to dress that way?

Why do you dress in suit & jacket?

It’s called diplomatic relationships

It’s showing love to your host

Wailing people oya come and do justice to this

Buhari is Islamizing ibe

zeromeridian:
Use your brain sometimes. show us a picture of runway being waterlogged. the Abuja and lagos airport were shut down for renovations. MMA already has a new airport Abuja was not shut down completely. We are rugged and weather beaten.

we shall overcome

Please provide the link that it was due to security situation

amuwo1980:
You lost ur conscience some where along the way, why dont they up grade owerri airport in tandem? Close the enugu airport temporarily and create alternative, benin airport is reportedly up graded , Nigeria will never develop with ppl like you, pure scum

You think Goverment just wake up and do things just like that ?

A lot of planning , feasibility studies and underground work would have gone in place before arriving at this decision

The truth is not the leader

We should do soul searching everyone that will comment Have issues

Our society habor criminality in all ramifications

From the house to religious places

So what do we expect?

It’s a societal thing

The president cannot be everywhere

Seriously?

Davash222:
Security reasons not Renovation. You don't even read your own post. Smh

Why was the airport shut down?

You need help bro

StillX10:
But why would Buhari do that

You need help

Seriously is this airport ok ?

Abuja was closed down

Lagos will be shut down

Why will someone in his or her right senses thinks renovating Enugu airport is targeted at a particular region

We need all to wise up
