The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization
has reacted angrily to the Northern governors rejection of power shift to
Southern Nigeria in 2023.
Recall that the governors during their meeting in Kaduna
said the demand for a power shift to the South was unconstitutional and would
not fly.
The development has since attracted wild condemnations from
their Southern counterparts and various groups.
In a statement made available by the President-General of
the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said
Nigeria may cease to exist in 2023 if the Northern governors failed to adjust
their stand.
He said in the statement that “It is now clear that the
North is not committed to the unity of Nigeria despite their deceitful and
hypocritical behaviour.
“We cannot understand why it should be difficult to allow an
Igbo man access to the Presidential seat several years after the return to
democracy in 1999 but the same Igbo man is being forced to remain in the same
country.
“It is not tenable that Ndigbo would be forced to remain in
a marriage where they have nothing to benefit except to serve as sacrificial
lamb and the blood for sacrifice. We are no longer going to accept that.
“The Northern governors have clearly shown that they don’t
mean well for this country, rather they are preparing to throw the country into
a serious turmoil ahead of the 2023 election.
“The Ohanaeze youths want to reiterate that should the two
dominant political parties, the PDP and the APC fail to zone their presidential
tickets to the South-East, every Igbo man and woman will become an agitator and
you know what that means.
“They should get ready to severe the country since an Igbo
man is not fit enough to be the President of Nigeria. We have had enough and
this madness must have to stop,” Okwu warned.
