- – And Igbo Presidency 2023
As Igbo leaders meet in Enugu tomorrow Tuesday, the youth wing of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has told them to have the issue of the release of Nnamdi Kanu and the president of Igbo extraction as main priority.
The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said this in a statement to journalists.
Igbo leaders are expected to meet in Enugu where they would discuss the worsening security situation in the zone, among other things.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Okwu said that the major take out from the meeting should be the setting up of two committees, one for the negotiation of the release of nnamdi kanu, and another one to champion the much talked about Igbo presidency.
He noted that, “we have gone pass the era of so much talk but no motion.”
This is the time for Ndigbo to really come out of their shell irrespective of party affiliations if indeed they are keen about occupying the number one seat in the country.
We say this because power is not given, it’s taken and this is the time for Ndigbo to go all out and negotiate take the power.
The meeting of Igbo leaders should not end without putting in place the two committees that would midwife the two processes, ensure that there’s unity of purpose, coordination of ideas and consensus.
We must have to shame all enemies of Ndigbo who believe that we can never be one. Let everyone rise to the occasion because indeed this is our chance to take lead this country, Okwu said.
