The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council
Worldwide, OYC, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s Supreme Court
victory over Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
In a statement issued on
Wednesday by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the group’s President General and Mazi
Okwu Nnabuike, the Secretary General, they asked Atiku of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, to accept defeat like former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
A
seven-man panel of the Supreme Court headed by the Chief Justice of the
Federation, Justice Tanko Muhammed, on Wednesday, dismissed the appeal filed by
the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February
23, 2019 presidential election.
The OYC statement read: “Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide congratulates President Muhammadu Buhari on the
Supreme Court validation of his victory at the February 23rd Presidential
elections 2019. This is a clear testimony that he will surely hand over to a
Nigerian President of Igbo stock in 2023.
“We appreciate the doggedness of
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of PDP in
2019.
“OYC urges him to emulate former
President Goodluck Jonathan’s footsteps and place a congratulatory call and
message to President Muhammadu Buhari or Vice President Yemi Osibanjo.
“Atiku has demonstrated his faith
in the Judiciary and should accept his fate and join hands with the Federal
Government to ensure Nigerians enjoy good governance and dividends of
democracy.
“With this victory at Supreme
Court, North through President Muhammadu Buhari will enjoy uninterrupted eighth
years tenure till 2023, and definitely with fairness and equity, President
Muhammadu Buhari will surely hand over to a Nigerian President of Igbo stock as
the only Southern Zone yet to take a shot at the Presidency since 1999.”
It enjoined Atiku “to declare
support for 2023 Igbo Presidency project as the best way to appreciate the
support Igbos gave him in 2019, and we wish to categorically state that Igbos
will continue to Support President Muhammadu Buhari until 2023.
“There will be mass exodus of
Igbos from PDP to APC in the nearest future, including South East governors and
senators.”
