Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has
re-echoed its stand that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should be rejected at the polls in 2023.
Ohanaeze hinged the decision on the PDP’s jettisoning of
zoning arrangement before its presidential primary election.
Unlike the All Progressives Congress, APC, that zoned the
position to the Southern Nigeria, the PDP threw it open.
In a statement on Sunday by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the
Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, he said the PDP should not be trusted having
breached its own constitution.
He said, “anyone who breached the gentleman arrangement by
our patriots for a rotational presidency between the North and the South as
enshrined in our consciousness to balance equity, inclusiveness, national
peace, and stability of the country does not mean well for Nigeria.”
The Ohanaeze scribe stressed that “2023 is the turn of a
Southern presidency and attempts by the opposition party to ride on ethnicity
and religious predispositions to get power will plunge Nigeria into the abyss
of disintegration.”
Isiguzoro added that “Atiku Abubakar’s desperation is not
healthy for the Northern region as the North has seen total neglect, poverty
and insecurity.”
He advised the North to free itself “from the illusion of
ethnicity and break the spells of deceit which the PDP and Atiku are using
ahead of the 2023 election.
“It’s only a southern Presidency that will unify the country
and end the insecurity challenges in Nigeria, not Atiku Abubakar.”
He expressed optimism that “Nigerians were enthusiastic
about how to dethrone incompetence in governance with a strong, competent, and
healthy President in 2023.
“The nightmarish episode of a sitting President always on
medical tourism in Europe, and Asia must end with President Buhari in 2023.
“PDP and Atiku should remain in opposition until they are
ready to accept that principle of zoning in PDP’s constitution should be
respected and obeyed before seeking power in the future”.
