Ohanaeze Ndigbo has cautioned those it describes as
desperate politicians from the North against their moves to retain power beyond
2023, saying such plans will sink the country.
The group said those working against the gentleman pact of
the rotational presidency between the North and South in 2023, should be aware
of the fact that changing the narratives with falsehood and fallacies
temporarily for inordinate ambition will have disastrous consequences if they
achieve their plans by 2023.
The Igbo socio-cultural organization warned that the North
must consider the security implications of retaining power beyond 2023 and
without any options, voluntarily concede power to the south for the interest of
peace and stability, “except if they have decided to set the nation ablaze and
sink it.”
In a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, its
Secretary-General, Ohanaeze said Igbos have been pushed out of Nigeria based on
the fact that owners of Nigeria craftily designed policies and procedures to
enslave the people of the southeast politically and economically, adding that
“only 2023 Igbo Presidency will assuage the perceptions that Igbo are still
part of Nigeria.”
“Atiku shouldn’t have sent his foot-soldiers to come up with
tales by moonlight, as it is arrogant, absurd and disrespectful to come to the
southeast and look at us in our faces and vomit fallacies that north’s tenure
has not expired.
“We wish to categorically state that it is Igbo’s turn to
succeed President Buhari in 2023 and Atiku should reciprocate the support Igbos
gave him in 2019 and support one of his most trusted Igbo allies for 2023.
“Endeavors to bring another Northerner as President in 2023
will be a disaster and it will sink Nigeria, many Southern ethnic groups will
join Igbo to walk away from Nigeria as ethnic domineering and intimidation will
end up the union.
“Atiku had refused to learn from history, as he’s the best
President Nigeria will never have, as age and competence is the new watchword
and order, to determine who will be President in 2023, and now age is not on
the side of Atiku, he should end the ill-fated journey to Aso Rock and support
Ndigbo”, the statement said.
