Field Wike And Get No Vote From Igbos – Ohanaeze Warns PDP

0

The apex Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) has sent a serious warning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

This is as against rumoured plans to drop Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as Atiku’s running mate and be replaced with his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.

OYC, in a statement signed by its National President and Secretary, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike and Comrade Obinna Achionye, said; “There is no need to repeat that we expected both the PDP and the APC to zone their presidential tickets to the South-East, but that did not happen.”

“Though this has been overtaken by events, the only consolation we have is the choice of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, considering that Okowa is a true Igbo son.”

“Having said this, how could anyone wake up and think of replacing Okowa with Wike? As much as we know that Atiku reserves the right to choose whoever he wills as his running mate, we also have the right to vote according to our desire.”

“And that desire is clear- that the PDP would not get one vote from Igbo land should they field Wike, because this is a man who disowned Ndigbo. He said he is not one of us and this is payback time, we also do not know him. Should the PDP make the mistake of pairing him with Atiku, the PDP will be roundly rejected during the presidential election.”

“With the new Electoral Act, those who constituted themselves into emperors are going to be disgraced during the polls. The time for bogus fake results is over, so nobody should be deceived.”
