The youth wing of the Ohanaeze
Ndigbo has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory during last
Saturday presidential elections.
This was contained in a statement
issued by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council
Worldwide.
Isiguzoro hailed Ndigbo for
supporting Buhari despite what he called deception by some Igbo leaders.
His statement read:
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council
Worldwide congratulates President Buhari for his well-deserved victory on
Saturday 23rd February, Presidential Elections, a sign of acceptance from
Nigerians.
We do hope that Next Level of
Policies will favour Ndigbo as there was increased voting for President Buhari,
irrespective of deception by some Igbo leaders who tried to lure Igbos into
political wilderness.
OYC observed the desperation of
Northern Elders that connived with Igbo leaders to extend the 2023 Igbo
Presidency project till 2027 by dangling Vice Presidential slot, which has less
political value to Ndigbo than 2023 Presidency.
We commend Barr Uche Okwukwu, the
Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for saving Ndigbo by boldly supporting
President Buhari even when his life and ours were threatened by enemies of
Ndigbo who masquerade as Igbo leaders.
We ask Ndigbo that we are now
back to the mainstream, and we expect increased dividends of democracy. This
election is between two Fulanis, and Northerners.
We ask Ndigbo to remain quiet and
be peaceful and do their normal businesses. We commend INEC for the peaceful
conduct of the election but there’s need to improve on the Card Reader.
Igbos will re-elect Governors
Ikpeazu, Umahi and Ugwuanyi on Saturday 9th March, as there’s no need to change
a winning team.
These Governors remain the best
materials for Ndigbo and have a good partnership with the federal government.
We urge Igbo Youths to vote massively to them.
We call Ndi Imo state to mend
fences for the greater value for Igbos by allowing Sen Ben Uwajumogu of Okigwe
Zone to win and have the chances of emerging as the Senate President of the 9th
Assembly.
We are boldly saying this without
mincing words, that in other to get APC balanced, the party should allow Ndigbo
to be the Senate President. We should not allow the mistake of 2015 of stopping
Senator Ngige, which robbed us the Senate President.”
