Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has
dissociated itself from a media report that Peter Obi was not destined to be
Nigeria’s president.
The report was allegedly signed by Tony Chiemelu Obizoba,
director general, implementation and strategic planning, Ohanaeze Ndigbo
General Assembly Worldwide.
Alex Ognonnia, the national publicity secretary of the
group, said in a statement on Monday, that the organisation was rather
impressed by the performance of Obi during the February 25 presidential
election.
“The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has been drawn to a
mischievous publication being circulated in the media, that Peter Obi is not
destined to be Nigeria’s president,” the statement reads.
“As a body, we are
impressed, thrilled, and fascinated by the groundswell and intimidating support
for the Obi-Datti movement.
“For the purpose of clarity, Ohanaeze Ndigbo vehemently
dissociates itself from any remark suggesting that Obi is not destined to rule
Nigeria.
NAN reports that the organisation described Obi as a man
with a track record of efficient performance in governance and business.
The group expressed worries over the pervasiveness of social
media in spreading fake news.
On Wednesday, March 1, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election with
8,794,726 votes.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came
second with 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi polled 6,101,533 votes to come
third.
