Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s stance of winning the 2023 PDP presidential ticket as a nostalgic belief, adding that Igbos will dump PDP in 2023 if Atiku wins the presidential ticket.

According to Ohanaeze, Atiku’s statement has painted him as a desperate politician swimming against the political currents and tides of the moment.

The Igbo apex group stated this in a statement signed by its Secretary-General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and made available to newsmen on Monday.

The group also lauded the middle belt and southern leaders for ing an Igbo president come 2023.

The statement reads: “Atiku has misread the mood of the nation ahead of 2023, and this miscalculation may retire him from partisan politics in 2023.

“Atiku has the constitutional right to aspire for the office of President in 2023, but one had expected him not to rock the boat now that the odds are against him based on his age and his region. 

“He should not fight dirty or appear desperate for the presidency. Rather it’s time for him to voluntarily quit partisan politics and take his rightful place in history as an elder statesman without being dishonoured and disgraced.

“Ndigbo had expected that Atiku Abubakar should a younger person for 2023, especially after the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike openly denounced Atiku’s proposal for him to be his running mate in 2023.

“This is enough message and signal to him that 2023 is exclusively reserved for a Southern president, and Atiku should search his conscience and an Igbo in the PDP primaries to avert a disgraceful end of his political career.

“The Southern Nigerian leaders and governors have vowed that it’s unhealthy for another northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

“In 2019, Ndigbo showed enough loyalty to the PDP and Atiku Abubakar, and the present predicaments and penalties facing the Southeast today was the 2019 Igbo given to Atiku and PDP. 

“But in 2023, Igbos will dump PDP if Atiku wins the PDP ticket.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo in alliance with other ethnic groups will ensure that any political party that refuses to zone their presidential ticket to the South will suffer in the 2023 presidential election.”

The Ohanaeze added that “any promotion of northern continuation after eight years of President Buhari from any individual is callous, voracious and selfish.”

Ohaneze and too much talks.

Give most ibo men some change and watch them sit looking at their house burning.

It will surely happen

Na so so empty talk and rants.

Ah, o ti zeh for Atiku be dat o. If he loses Igbo then he should just forget his presidential ambition because they're his biggest ers not just in the South but the entire country. But can igbos ever abandon Atiku and PDP for any reason under the sun? I seriously doubt it.

Who cares

Can someone remind ohaneze ndigbo that everyone is entitled to he's or her own opinion

I don’t trust Ohaneze.

They will still Atikulate as usual even if Atiku wins the PDP ticket.

Whether atiku wins or not Igbo should drop them.
They have nothing to offer biko �.

No mind them.

doggedfighter:
Ohaneze and too much talks.

Atiku has promised to handover to his ibo vice president after his first term. If Atiku failed to secure PDP ticket, you must hold Ohaneze responsible for setting back ibo's opportunity till 2039.

OHAENEZE your people has 0.0 relevant in PDP and APC. Infact 0. In nigeria politics .

Iyen na nice but please reject HE Atiku and those who will elevate tribe over competence and please ensure you vote for experience and competence.

Nigeria deserves a brilliant visionary leader who is an experienced public and Patriot to the core. Asiwaju Tinubu is by far the best and if you truly want competence,I present to you Asiwaju Tinubu.

Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader with the wealth of experience , education, sagacity, mental and physical strength, local and international clout and temperament to lead Nigeria to greater heights.

Please and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.

Hain...

Just being curious, Why is the SE not making preparations on the platform of APGA?

Why is it they always insist on making demands on PDP and APC only,while allowing APGA remain useless. They hardly can influence much in the major parties.

too that APC was built by an opposition in similar situation. Why won't SE do the same with APGA. Since they have alot more control over it and can get people to the them. Instead of all this blackmail and threats.

APGA has strong roots in the SE , they should promote and build it. form more alliance that would work for them.

It's not impossible, don't forget at some point only Lagos and Osun were ACN/AD. Out of the parties , they merged with others. Today they are ruling even at the Centre.

Think about it o ! Than shouting wolf always

election will not hold,he just handover to them!

APC faction of Ohanaeze

Dump PDP and go where? APC?

They will still vote for PDP, just to show their hatred for APC.




IGBO AND PDP ARE SIAMESE TWINS

Politics of bitterness is not good for Igbo people

Stop dragging Igbos into your fixed opinion

This one Na real lamba. Dump PDP and move to where? They have no other option for now.

Naija politics don tire person

This people with their 5% votes self.

But if Tambuwa or Saraki wins the ticket Igbos will vote massively for PDP to get amnesty for IPOB?.

Igbos are still not definite about what they want, one day they talk about Biafra, another day they talk about leflendum, next day they talk about Igbo presidency and now it's about dumping PDP if Atiku win the ticket, this is the reason no one will take Igbo serious.

Who are the leaders of this Ohanaeze? The same thing APC wants is what you are threatening to do for them.

BTW since when did you start telling us which party to belong as Igbos?

And what if Tinubu wins in APC? This guys from the east are politically confused. Or is it that Ohanaeze group are just clowns. Always making funny statements.

Peter Obi should be ed please.

If igbos listen to Ohaneze there'll be no Kanu

But Ohaneze should bring out a candidate they will instead on ranting.

Who is Ohaneze's candidate and why should Nigerians him or her? That should be their pre-occupation
