Pan-Igbo cultural organisation, Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s scathing preview of
the forthcoming general elections.
It stated that the political
manoeuvrings towards the 2019 presidential election were indications that
vindicated Obasanjo’s statement.
In a statement issued in
Abakaliki, the National Publicity Secretary of the body, Uche Achi-Okpagha
said: “Every indication testifies to Obasanjo’s vindication. President Obasanjo
(as he then was) appointed a South-Easterner, GEJ appointed a northerner, but
apparently, owing to his ulterior motives seemingly playing out now, he
appointed a northerner as lNEC Chairman.
“The bleeding issues are the
latest appointment of Amina Zakari who has been an age long close confidant of
Buhari and the callous and blatant move to remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
The majority fear and alarming opinion are to the fact that the presidency
wants to remove the CJN and plant a northerner, as usual, who would play to the
political gallery and instruct appointed judges to make electoral decisions
favourable to the APC.
“I sincerely identify with
Obasanjo in his fears and posit that a four-year-old government should be able
to tell Nigerians that ‘l did this and that’ not that ‘l will do this and
that.’”
