Ohanaeze Blasts Atiku, Says Nigeria Will Sink if North Retains Power

Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned the North against moves to retain power beyond 2023.

Ndigbo said such plans will sink Nigeria.

It warned that the North must consider the security implications of retaining power beyond 2023 and without any options, voluntarily concede power to the south for the interest of peace and stability.

In a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, its Secretary-General, Ohanaeze alleged that Igbos have been pushed out of the country based on the fact that owners of Nigeria craftily designed policies and procedures to enslave the people of the southeast politically and economically, adding that “only 2023 Igbo Presidency will assuage the perceptions that Igbo are still part of Nigeria.”

“Atiku shouldn’t have sent his foot-soldiers to come up with tales by moonlight, as it is arrogant, absurd and disrespectful to come to the southeast and look at us in our faces and vomit fallacies that north’s tenure has not expired.

“We wish to categorically state that it is Igbo’s turn to succeed President Buhari in 2023 and Atiku should reciprocate the support Igbos gave him in 2019 and support one of his most trusted Igbo allies for 2023.

“Endeavors to bring another Northerner as President in 2023 will be a disaster and it will sink Nigeria, many Southern ethnic groups will join Igbo to walk away from Nigeria as ethnic domineering and intimidation will end up the union.

“Atiku had refused to learn from history, as he’s the best President Nigeria will never have, as age and competence is the new watchword and order, to determine who will be President in 2023, and now age is not on the side of Atiku, he should end the ill-fated journey to Aso Rock and support Ndigbo”
