2023: Igbo will soon present PDP its consensus candidate – Ohanaeze Ndigbo; Warns party against northern flagbearer

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said that the Igbo will soon challenge the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with their consensus candidate for the 2023 presidential race.

The apex pan Igbo organisation, in a statement by Dr.Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, its National Publicity Secretary, reacting to the resolution of the PDP’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of Wednesday, May 11, 2022 that it will be throwing the race for its ticket open, noted the party’s proviso that consensus is not ruled out and promised that “the Igbo will soon challenge the PDP with our consensus candidate.”

The statement stressed that “the position of the Southern and Middle Belt Leadership Forum, the Southern Governors Forum and indeed all the right thinking patriotic Nigerians is very clear: a Northerner must not hand over to a Northerner,” warning that the “PDP has a choice to make: nominate a Northerner and fail woefully and be buried with an epitaph “there once existed a treacherous political party which changed its goal post at the middle of the game.”

Ohanaeze Ndigbo pointed out that “it is possible that Sen Iyorchia Ayu needed to throw the sale of the presidential forms open to fit into the current bourgeois democratic paradigm. Thats why the PDP resolution with respect to the zoning of presidential ticket added that consensus is not ruled out.”

It said that the inclusion of the consensus proviso was why “the Igbo will soon challenge the PDP with our consensus candidate,” stressing that the “project of a Nigerian President of South East extraction is a desideratum; no going back, a to be or not to be existentialism.

“Be reminded that just as God provided a David with a stone to kill Goliath, that God has not changed. This is a just cause and the David will surely come.” Insisting that the David must come, it said that how he will come is not yet clear, but also warned “the Igbo that run after presidential aspirants from other geopolitical zones,” to beware as “history is replete with how a betrayer ends.”
