As Nigerians celebrate Democracy Day, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo
socio-cultural organization has appealed to the 2023 presidential candidates of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour
Party.
Ohanaeze urged Atiku and Obi to stop pursuing their cases at
the tribunal and support President Bola Tinubu.
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, said
Atiku and Obi should support Tinubu with their ideas.
Isiguzoro said both former presidential candidates should
support Tinubu in the interest of nationalism and patriotism.
Speaking, Isiguzoro said: “The money that Atiku and Peter
Obi are using to pursue their cases at the tribunal, we beg the two Nigerian
patriots to support Tinubu because the war has ended.
“They should bring ideas to ensure that Nigerians don’t
experience severe hardship.
“This is our democracy message to Atiku, Peter Obi, and
Nigerians that though they have the constitutional rights to challenge Tinubu
at the tribunal up to the Supreme Court, they should withdraw their cases from
the tribunal in the spirit of nationalism and patriotism.
“We know it’s a decision that will be hard for them, their
lawyers and supporters will not allow them; but in the spirit of patriotism and
one Nigeria they should allow, support this progressive president with the
ideas that will move the country from consumption to production.”
Isiguzoro also urged Tinubu to ensure that his appointments
reflect federal character.
He charged the president to consider the Igbos when giving
out key appointments.
He added: “In as much as we applaud him, Tinubu should look
at the situation of not giving exceptional appointments that will promote
ethnicity, religion, or nepotism.
“His appointment must reflect the principle of federal
character and ensure that the Southeast get strong ministries that will
transform the region economically and structurally.”
He charged the president to consider releasing Nnamdi Kanu,
the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
“What we are yearning for is that Tinubu should listen to
the appeal of Enugu State governor and release Nnamdi Kanu and end the Monday
sit-at-home,” he added.

Ohanaeze, focus on ur objective n stop meddling in affairs far above ur objective. U did not contest for election n so has no right to ask Peter Obi or Atiku not to pursue their rights.
