The youth wing of the apex Igbo social cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has endorsed the candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the February 14 presidential election.
This is coming barely one week after the youth social cultural group, Afenifere endorsed Jonathan for second term.
In a statement signed by the national vice presidents’ of the group for the states of Imo, Delta, Rivers, and Ebonyi, Comrade Obinna Achinonye, Odozi Nwodozi, Kanu Oscar Nwaorisara, and Alex Okemiri, respectively, the youths described as baseless, recent media reports which portrayed them as being opposed to the re-election of the president.
According to the statement, “We, the leaders and members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo youths hereby state categorically clear that the publication in its entirety is false and there is no iota of truth in it”.
“This is the position of the people of the South-East hence no one has any right to renege on it on behalf of Ohanaeze youths”.
The youths, commended the endorsement of the president for re-election by the Southern Nigeria People’s Assembly at a recent meeting in Enugu ,and wondered why any person or group of persons would rise against the choice of the elders and leaders of the Igbo race.
“We as youths of Ohanaeze Ndigbo are brought up to show respect and obedience to our elders and we are therefore astonished at the disrespect the sponsors and publishers of the articles showed. to Igbo leaders”, the statement said.
The youths said that “as loyal and faithful children of Igbo extraction, we would never be compelled by financial inducement to work against the interest of Ndigbo”. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Iwuanyanwu is out for himself, not for you Igbo youths. The Igbo nation is the worst hit under Jonathan's administration. Go to Aba, Umuahia, Owerri, Onitsha, Enugu and any other Igbo cities and see how many of you are roaming the streets, jobless. That's why you Igbo youths are dispersed all over the country: Lagos, Kano, Abuja, etc in search of jobs because there's nothing in your homeland. Wake up and smell the coffee, realizing that there is no basis for your support of Jonathan except that Iwuanyanwu and his cohorts are using you. Jonathan has ruined the lives of Nigerians with corruption and incompetence, so need you think twice becfor you realize he is not the right man for you and for the country. Boblessness, kidnapping, armed robbery, road conditions, etc are worse in Igbo land than any other part of the country. Remove the shell on your eyes and stop giving a blind support to a man who is of no use to you. I hope what you have above is just paid advertising, paid for by those leading you down the wrong path for their own benefit.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Correct! !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAT TIMES , I WONDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY IGBO NATION! WHEN WILL WE START COUNTING OUR LOSES? LOSERS IN ALL SPHERES IS THE IGBO PEOPLE! ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT OF CHAMPIONING ONE NIGERIA BUT SIDELINED WHEN POLITICAL POWERS ARE BEING SHARED DUE TO THE GREED FOR MATERIAL WEALTH OF A FEW INDIVIDUALS!
ReplyDeleteWAIT A BIT, WHERE IS TAN? DISBANDED BY JONATHAN AND HIS COHORTS!
IGBO YOUTHS, LISTEN TO THIS HEART-RENDING EPISODE AND DECIDE YOUR PLACE IN THE SCHEME OF POWER SHARING IN NIGERIAN:
IFEANYI PATRICK UBAH, OWNER OF CAPITAL OIL, JOINED THE LEAGUE OF THOSE WHO DUPED NIGERIA MULTIPLES OF TRILLIONS OF NAIRA UNDER JONATHAN'S MISRULE! AS A COVER-UP, JONATHAN ENGAGED HIM TO FLOAT A PRE-ELECTION PLATFORM THAT WOULD BE HIS FORE-RUNNER IN HIS BID TO SEEK FOR RE-ELECTION! NO DOUBT, IFEANYI PATRICK UBAH THREW CAUTION TO THE WIND [LIKE SOME OF YOU IGBO YOUTHS ARE DOING NOW] AND PLUNGED HIMSELF INTO A SUICIDE MISSION OF CAMPAIGNING FOR JONATHAN WITHOUT ANY CASH BACKING FROM JONATHAN; BANKING HIS HOPE ON THE DELUSION [FALSE PROMISE] THAT HIS PLATFORM WILL BE USED FOR THE ELECTORAL CAMPAIGNS!
IFEANYI'S ALREADY BROKE COMPANY [CAPITAL OIL] WENT OUT OF HIS WAY AGAIN, BORROWING SHAMELESSLY FROM BANKS AND INDIVIDUALS, HOPING TO OFFSET THE BOGUS DEBT AS SOON AS THE ELECTION FUND WAS RAISED!
BUT ALAS, IT NEVER BE! AS SOON AS THE FUND PUT TOGETHER BY THE CANKER WORMS JONATHAN USES TO MILK THE ECONOMY DRY GATHERED IN ABUJA; RAISED THE FIRST 21 BILLION NAIRA, JONATHAN WHO HAS NEVER AND WOULD NEVER TRUST THE IGBO MAN RENEGED ON HIS BROKEN PROMISE TO IFEANYI. TO ADD SALT TO INJURY, JONATHAN RATHER APPOINTED AN OLD CHIP CALLED AHMADU ALI [AKA "ALI MUST GO" IF YOU CAN REMEMBER] TO MANAGE HIS CAMPAIGNS! BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!
THIS SAME JONATHAN YOU ARE BLINDLY CLAMOURING TO SUPPORT, DISCARDED YOUR KINSMAN, IFEANYI UBAH AND HIS BOBBLING TAN TO DIE A NATURAL DEATH, LEAVING HIM BROKEN-HEARTED TO LEAK HIS OWN WOUNDS! WORST STILL,
IGBO YOUTHS, HOW MANY TIMES WOULD YOU AND YOUR TRIBE BE FAILED BY JONATHAN AND HIS LIKES BEFORE YOU LEARN YOUR HARD LESSONS?
BREAKING NEWS: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR ANY IGBO MAN IN THE POLITICAL CALCULATION OF peoples democratic party! AFTER JONATHAN'S TENURE, AN HAUSA MAN TAKES OVER, AND I BET YOU, TO BE FOLLOWED BY A YORUBA MAN AND SO ON AND SO FORTH! AND I ASK YOU, "WHEN WILL YOU LEARN HOW TO DEMAND FOR YOUR POLITICAL RIGHTS RATHER THAN CONTINUOUSLY PLAYING "ZOMBI - FOLLOW-FOLLOW PART" YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR AGES!
HERE COMES AN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE POLITICAL EMANCIPATION OF THE IGBO RACE - APC IS THE WAY OUT! BUT FOR THE EMERGENCY WE HAVE AT HAND, AN IGBO MAN WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THIS 2015! BUHARI BECAME A MORE PREFERRED CANDIDATE BECAUSE WE NEEDED A MAN WHO CAN TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND FIGHT THE pdp POLITICAL LEVIATHANS HOLDING NIGERIA HOSTAGE FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS, WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT THAN CORRUPTION AND IMPUNITY!!!
SEE THE pdp SCORE CARD - SINCE JONATHAN TOLD US ON NATIONAL TELEVISION THAT STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION, EFCC HAS GONE TO SLEEP; DSS HAS BECOME THE POLITICAL WATCH DOG OF pdp; THE NIGERIAN POLICE HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE ruining party - pdp, TO HUNT DOWN ANY OPPOSITION AT SIGHT; THE NIGERIAN ARMY HAS BEEN POLARIZED AND EVEN POLITICIZED TO THE POINT THAT THEY CAN'T EVENT WITHSTAND THE MISCREANTS CALLED BOKO HARAM; BILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS OF NAIRA STOLEN AND STARCHED INTO FOREIGN ACCOUNTS WITHOUT ANYBODY BEING PROBED FOR IT WHILE THE ECONOMY RUNS DRY EVERY MINUTE THAT PASSES BYE!
I, EZE, EO THEREFORE, SINCERELY CALL ON MY BRETHREN, THE IGBOS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY, TO JOIN FORCES WITH THE ASTUTE-CUM-VISIONARY POLITICAL LEADERS FROM THE SOUTHERN NIGERIA LIKE OWELLE ROCHAS OKOROCHA, ROTIMI AMECHI, ETC. TO WORK FOR THE LIBERATION OF THIS COUNTRY SO THAT AT THE SHORTED INTERVAL, WE, THE IGBOS WOULD TAKE OUR OWN FARE SHARE OF MAKING OUR INTELLECTUALITY BEAR IN STREAMLINING THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP OF OUR FATHERLAND! A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE!
