The Ohanaeze Ndigbo youth wing has taken steps to interface
with critical ethnic, religious and social stakeholders across all geopolitical
zones in Nigeria towards actualizing a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction
come 2023.
The National leadership of the Ohanaeze youth wing, in a
statement by the Assistant National Publicity Secretary, Udekigbo Chibuzor,
disclosed that it has set up a presidential lobby committee/team to embark on a
familiarization tour to other ethnic nationalities in the country, aimed at
convincing and canvassing supports on the desire of the Igbo nation to produce
President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor come 2023.
The Ohanaeze wing named Mazi Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu and
Chris Obiemenyebo as the chairman and Secretary of the lobby committee/team.
The Igbo youth group also revealed that the presidential
lobby team/committee is saddled with the responsibilities which among others
are to identify credible, reliable, qualified and highly saleable southeast
candidates from across party lines who may be supported for the presidential
election in 2023.
The Ohanaeze wing further disclosed that the team will
initiate high-level engagements with relevant stakeholders across party,
religious and ethnic lines, towards convincing them on the need to support an
Igbo presidency of Nigeria in 2023; to mobilize support across different
political lines towards ensuring that an Igbo is elected President of Nigeria
in 2023; and to make quarterly reports to the national executive committee of
the youth wing on progresses, challenges and strategies.
According to the statement which partly said, “presidential
lobby team/committee will carry out assignments as may be assigned to her by
the national executive committee in line with the Igbo presidency mandate. It
will carry out other assignments as may be assigned to her by the National
Executive Committee in line with the Igbo Presidency mandate.
