    You’re on Your Own – Ohaneze Knocks Soludo over Attack on Obi

    The Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has lashed out at Anambra Governor, Charles Soludo, over his statement on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party(LP) Peter Obi.

    Soludo, in a lengthy letter on Monday, lashed out at Obi stating that he knows that he can’t and won’t win the presidency. He maintained that Obi was not ready for the presidential race, declaring he was merely catching a cruise.

    Ohanaeze, in a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Tuesday said it had dragged Soludo to two deities in Igbo land, for discrediting the legacies of Peter Obi.

    The statement read : “Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behaviour.

    “Governor Soludo’s actions are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature; there was no locus for the Governor’s outburst and the sanctions against Soludo to face Igbo deities will serve as a deterrent to South-East politicians who have been hired by enemies of Ndigbo and Nigerians to derail the Obi’s presidency in 2023.

    “Governor Soludo exposed and indicted himself of treachery when he discredited APGA and Labour Party’s presidential candidates as not viable alternatives to win the 2023 elections.

    “How can a state governor of two presidential candidates (APGA and LP) make such a public declaration?

    “He has confirmed that he is the number one enemy of the new Nigeria and was hired by an unpopular presidential candidate who is looking for Igbo politicians to pull down Obi’s popularity ahead of the 2023 elections.

    “We advise Soludo to concentrate on the current crisis in Anambra State and APGA and stop casting innuendo and aspersions on the person of Mr. Peter Obi. The LP presidential candidate is not in the same political party with him and is not fighting the Anambra State Government.”

    Ohaneze threatens totality of Igbo spirit against Jonathan if he does not support Igbo presidency

    The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo,  has threatened that the Igbo spirit will be against former President Goodluck Jonathan if he fails to support the realisation of a president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

    Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Publicity Secretary, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, in an interview with one of our correspondents in Enugu, said that the suffering Ndigbo were going through under the administration  of President, President  Muhammadu Buhari  was because of the support Igbo gave Jonathan.

    Ogbonnia was asked to comment on a report that Jonathan on December 27 met South-South leaders coordinating his alleged plan to contest the 2023 presidency.

    According to the report, the meeting was held at Aridolf Hotels and Spars, Yenagoa.

    There have been reports that some northern All Progressives Congress governors were plotting Jonathan’s return to Presidency to assuage the South and enable the North to return to power after four years.

    Commenting on the development, Ohanaeze Ndigbo spokesman stated, “The Igbo position on Jonathan’s (alleged)  presidential ambition in 2023 is that the Igbo spirit will be against him, the totality of Igbo spirit will be against him and he should realise it.

    “Because he is expected to support the Igbo; a form of spiritual reciprocity, to reciprocate the Igbo kind gesture towards him.”

    He disclosed that whatever Igbo suffered under the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari was because of Jonathan.

    He added, “Whatever you see the Igbo suffered under President Buhari was as a result of the support we gave Jonathan. He should realise it. That is the Ohanaeze Ndigbo position and by extension Igbo position.”
