VON DG: only Igbo can deny themselves presidency in 2023
FacebookTwitterGoogle+PinterestLinkedInWhatsApp
THE Southeast heard yesterday what it should do to have a shot at the Presidency in 2023 – support the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and Voice of Nigeria (VON) Director-General Osita Okechukwu said that only the Southeast people can deny the region of the presidency in 2023 if they vote against Buhari in the next year presidential election.

He warned that the fruit of whatever they sow with their votes would be there for them to harvest in 2023, should they cast their ballot against Buhari.

Okechuku, who was reacting to the statement credited to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to the effect that 2023 Igbo presidency quest is a plot to hoodwink the region, counselled the Igbo leadership to put its house in order and organise the region ahead of the 2023 presidency rather than agonise.

He said: “May I once more appeal to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to start organising for Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction in 2023, instead of agonising. It is surreal for the truism is that equity, natural justice and good conscience is on our side.

“All we need to do is for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership to think out of the box, reflect deeply, and dust off ancient stereotypes and prejudices by voting for President Buhari.

“The real politics is that voting Buhari will better galvanise and strengthen our alliance with the North, more than voting for Atiku Abubakar. Buhari has a vote bank of 10-12 million voters, mostly his core followership reflected in his bids in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 presidential elections.

“Is it not disheartening for the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Prince Uche Achi-Okpagha to agonise thus?”

He quoted the Ohanaze as saying: “Note that neither President Buhari, nor any Northern political stalwart has made a pronouncement on the 2023 presidency, instead they have allowed some cabinet members of Yorubas extraction, including Osinbajo and Fashola, to dissipate energy to the effect that Southwest would have presidency in 2023. It is an orchestrated plot to hoodwink the people of the two regions in order to elicit their votes.”

Okechukwu reminded his kinsmen of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha’s statement that “the quickest and easiest means to the presidency for the Southeast is to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term”.

He also reminded them that they “can short-circuit the period in terms of only having him there for another four years and whatever they do in 2019 will determine what will happen thereafter because politics is a game of numbers and it is like a cooperative society.”

Okechukwu went on: “Whatever you bring as an investment when dividends are going to be shared, you will get proportionate with your investment and your investment in politics is what you bring to the table and I urge the Southeast to look at this matter seriously that every time we have a presidency in Nigeria, it is negotiated in several ways. Either negotiated by votes or what you bring to the table and you must negotiate from the position of strength.”

Reminding them that the Southeast remained the only zone in the Southern Belt that has not presided over Nigeria from the Aso Villa since the rotation of the presidency between Northern and Southern Belts began in 1999, he said: “2023 is our turn, unless we wittingly or unwittingly throw it away.



“Hence, it is my candid view that with such immeasurable equity, natural justice and good conscience on our side, 2023 president is Ndigbo’s turn; unless Ohanaeze continues to angonise instead of organising.

“The present rotation convention, we mustn’t forget, was in the first place constructed to engender equity, peace and harmony of our dear nation. Let’s harvest it.

“One therefore appeals to Ohanaeze leadership to place the core Igbo interest above partisanship and demagoguery; for the quickest and surest route to end the vexatious issue of marginalisation and create a sense of belonging is 2023 president of Igbo extraction

babyfaceafrica:
wey my Christmas and new year gifr

In due course

babyfaceafrica:
sarrki sarki....compliments of the season!!!..

Compliments bro

Truth is bitter

But he just said nothing but the truth

zombieTRACKER:
Gbam... Denying non Muslims their rights..

That’s the truth

If other parts of the country will also asked that some certain traditions performed by Muslims should not be conducted on their land

How will they respond?

ImperialYoruba:
Why do you say they enforce non-muslims?

Let’s take the issue of beer destroyed in Kano Of recent as a typical example

We all know that from religious stance Muslims are not allowed to drink beer or partake in it

So destroying the beers is enforcing other non Muslims or deriving them of their rights

ImperialYoruba:
State Police will have civic duties and anyone of any religious background join. Hisbah is a religious code enforcer. Not anyone can join.

Let me give you example. Kaduna State can operate both State and Hisbah, assuming they practice Shariah....and the two will be mutually exclusive.

It will be like asking in Yorubaland what is the difference between a Judge and an Ogboni Chief?

One is civic the other is customary.
Ogboni will never ask youbto take oath with Bible or Quran but the in his court, a Judge will demand that before accepting testimony.

Hisbah is equivalient to state police coz they enforce non Muslims

Just curious and the double standard of all the 3tiers Of Goverment On state police.

Can we have a fruitful and enlightened discussion on this

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday, said he’s qualified to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari, having presided over the affairs of the country and shed blood for the unity of the nation.


He said this at the 2018 Ibogun Day celebration, which attracted notable indigenes of Ogun State on Wednesday.

Also in attendance were: Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, two gubernatorial candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Allied People’s Movement (APM), Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka and Hon. Adekunle Akinlade, respectively.


Obasanjo said that Buhari would have not won in 2015 election if not for his support.

According to him, “I know Buhari and he too knows me. Till the day I die, Buhari will continue to address me as ‘sir.’ In 2015, if I didn’t support Buhari, he wouldn’t have won the election.

“I have what it takes to correct him. Nigeria should not be in the position we are today. Nigeria can be better. God has given us all that we need.


“I am qualified to speak against Buhari. One, I have done it before. Two, I have shed my blood for this country. Even my biological son has shed his blood. Why can’t I speak about what is best for this country? I am doubly qualified to do that

What was the cost of JAMB registration in both regimes? Are you celebrating the extortion and impoverishment of the comon man?

Please tell us

Am sure the form is not sold at 1 Naira

danot1030:
PDP = corruption

In pdp corruption is not stealing it's just sharing the national cake

This are facts

They hate the truth
They love inequity

Esseite:
Why dont you use the number of out of school children in both periods?

Give us the figures with facts

Now

franklingud:
Everything about you is aggressive.

Especially curbing corruption which you guys like with passion

omachas:
Is it not the same money that APC snake swallowed ?
Your "e ape cc "boss up til now has no idea of the amount they have recovered from looters.
Even Mr President is not aware that Magu does not know how much they have recovered.

Apc Goverment is not perfect

But we can see infrastructure in every state

Roads , water project, rail , agriculture, micro and macro businesses growing not depending on government

The choice facing us in the next general election is simple and straightfoward. I will use JAMB to illustrate how simple it is.

According to JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq,

Between 1999 - 2014, JAMB remitted N52 million to FG

Between 2015 - 2017, JAMB remitted N15 billion to FG.

Strange, isn't it?

According to reports there were no record of remittances since 1999 up till 2010, 2012 and 2015. No record of how many forms they sold to candidates, no record of how much they made and remitted whatsoever.

Well, according to PDP sympathisers, since fighting corruption is not an economic policy, transparency and accountability was really a waste of time. They don't give a damn!

Buhari felt something was not right, he replaced the Registrar in 2016.

The Old registrar, from April 2011 to August 2016, JAMB made sales of N28 billion from 6,322,053 candidates. He remitted N50 million.

The present registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, from 2016 to 2017 also made sales of N17 billion from the sales of forms to 3,325,746 candidates. He remitted N8 billion

In 5 years, JAMB remitted N50 million - PDP ERA

In 1 year, JAMB remitted N8 billion - APC ERA

PDP also told us 6.3 million candidates wrote JAMB in 5 years compare to 3.3 million canidates that sat for the exam in just 1 year under Buhari government.

Is it that more Nigerians suddenly aspire to go to universities when Buhari came to power? I don't believe so.

PDP under-reported the number of candidates so they could declare little or nothing in revenue. This is what they've been doing since 1999, and it's the same story in all government agencies before Buhari came to power.

Imagine the amount of money that had been lost to corruption in JAMB alone since 1999 not talk of other MDAs

How can anyone in his right sense then say fighting corruption is not an economic policy. What should be the number one economic policy if not combating corruption. No policy can be successfully implemented where corruption thrives, regardless of how sound the policies are.

This is the choice we face in the next election.

We can either go back to those years of PDP where corruption was the order of the day or another 4 years of Buhari/Osinbajo.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said that he will soon embark on aggressive campaign for the 2019 Presidential election.
According to him, the three areas of focus which he campaigned in 2015 are still very relevant.
To this end, he said that he will focus on the fight against corruption, tackling insecurity and improving the economy.
The President spoke in Abuja when he received the Federal Capital Territory community on Christmas homage at his official residence.
The campaign, he said, will start by visits to each of the six geo-political zones of the country.
He said “The party nominated me and I will contest. We are watching the Independent National Electoral Commission very seriously and we are going out very soon we will go from geo-political zone to geo-political zone, to remind the people of our promises in 2015; three fundamental things, security, because you have to secure the country before you can govern it and talking about what we have done regarding securing the country, the people of the North-east know better.
“The three fundamental things we campaigned with are still very relevant. On improving the economy, which we are still going to explore, we have done well in agriculture, and those who embraced farming are not regretting it and we have also addressed unemployment and we are very lucky, through that we are now attaining food security.
“The third thing with which we will campaign is the issue of corruption. I told you what I did when I was in uniform but now when I have to go by this system (Democracy,) where people have to be arrested and then prosecuted, taken to court and then with evidence, we will collect back what they had taken illegally and for doing that, people are calling me Baba go slow. I am going slowly but whatever the case, I will not stop pointing fingers at those who have abused trust by taking money that does not belong to them.
“I will keep on trying to do my best for this country and get back what belongs to the country. We are doing to do the roads, revive the railway and electricity with the little resources at our disposal.
“Fighting Corruption, yes, we are slow because the system is slow. It’s not Baba that is slow but it is the system so I am going by this system and I hope we will make it.” he said
The President, who thanked the FCT community for the visit, urged people in leadership positions to but the confidence of the people in the present administration.
Speaking earlier, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello, who said the FCT community, was happy with the performance of President Buhari in office and pledged to support him massively for another term of office.
He said “We pray that God almighty to continue to grant you good health, strength, capacity, ability and patience to continue to lead us to the Promised Land. On behalf of the FCT we appreciate you for the good works you are doing for the territory, just last week you commissioned for us a new airport terminal and so many road projects that are going on in Abuja and we feel highly delighted to be hosting you here and it’s my honour on behalf of the FCT community I want to assure you that we are solidly behind you and by the grace of God we look forward to you spending another four years in the state house so that you can truly make Abuja the city of our dream because we want Abuja to be among the 20 best cities in the world in the next few years to come and I think that is possible.”
In his own remarks, the Primate of the Anglican Communion, Nigeria, Reverend Nicholas Okoh congratulated the President for overcoming his health challenges and said all citizens of the country are grateful to God for that.
The Cleric noted that the spirit of unity among followers of different religions in the Federal capital Territory is exemplary and should be replicated in all parts of the country.
He said religious leaders will continue to work for peace and harmony in order to sustain peace in the country.
The delegation comprised of religious leaders and traditional rulers as well as top functionaries of the Federal capital Territory administration
