2023 Presidency: Southeast warned against accepting VP slot

 

Group known as Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide campaigns against Igbo people accepting Vice presidential slot come 2023 general election.

The group has begun this movement for allegedly heard that the Peoples Democratic Party is making an arrangement to zone its vice presidential slot to the Southeastern zone of Nigeria. 

The organisation has urged the southeast people and other Igbo communities to never accept the alleged arrangement, saying the plot is an insult to the sensibility of the Igbo extraction.

The members of the organization advised Igbo politicians to desist from seeking support to occupy the position of vice president in 2023 just  because of the party interest.

President of Ohaneze Youth Council in a statement made available to journalists at Abakaliki, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and his Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike gave this warning.

According to them, “PDP must not insult the intelligence of the Igbo. If the PDP thinks the Igbo will wait till 2031 before it gets a chance at the presidential ticket of the party then the PDP isn’t just treacherous, it is delusional. Perhaps the PDP doesn’t need Igbo votes.

“The youths of Igbo land will not sit astride and watch the PDP field a candidate from the North and come to Igbo land to hoodwink people with sweetened gibberish.

“If the PDP tramples on equity and commonsense, and opts for a Northern candidate in 2023, then,l the PDP should forget about coming to Igbo land to seek votes in the 2023 presidential elections.”
