Ohanaeze Ndigbo has criticized the recent statement of Atiku Abubakar supporting the Northern Presidency in the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
According to the statement released by the Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro criticized Atiku for disregarding the rotation of the presidency.<\/p>\n
Ohanaeze Ndigbo has agreed to the Southern Presidency tenure for 2023-2031.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, they appreciated President Tinubu for the development in the southeastern region including the roads and other infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Part of the statement read: \u201cWe assert, without equivocation, that the conclusion of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s Northern term\u2014spanning eight years from 2015 to 2023\u2014must mark a transition of leadership back to Southern Nigeria, from 2023 to 2031.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis transition is essential for facilitating equitable representation and governance across our diverse nation. Atiku Abubakar\u2019s relentless pursuit of Northern hegemony has irreparably tarnished his reputation among the Igbo people, now perceived as a direct affront to our aspirations for inclusion and progress.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHis rhetoric has communicated a disheartening exclusionary agenda, dismissing Southern candidates, including Mr. Obi, as credible choices for future leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe implications of his statements reveal an inclination to pigeonhole Mr. Obi into a subordinate role when he should be recognized as a formidable opposition leader in his own right.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOhanaeze Ndigbo unreservedly repudiates such political maneuvers that aim to reduce the Igbo people to a secondary status within the political milieu.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cFurthermore, Ohanaeze Ndigbo\u2019s vision is not contingent upon Atiku Abubakar\u2019s advocacy for a Northern presidency but rather is firmly anchored in the significant infrastructural progress currently unfolding across Southeastern Nigeria.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ohanaeze Ndigbo has criticized the recent statement of Atiku Abubakar supporting the Northern Presidency in the 2027 elections.
