2023: Your deliberate injustice against South-East will end in Pyrrhic victory, Obiozor tells APC, PDP
Your ‘deliberate injustice’ and ‘orchestrated’ denial of the South-East zone of the opportunity to produce the country’s president in 2023 using your platforms “will end in a Pyrrhic victory for those who rejoice and celebrate injustice,” the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor has told the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ambassador Obiozor, who was reacting to the presidential nominations of the two parties, in a statement from Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, said that by their ‘manipulation’ of the process, “some Nigerian leaders have demonstrated gross historic injustice towards Ndigbo, beyond our expectations.”
He, however, urged Ndigbo “not to lament much but wait for the verdict of history,” wondering aloud “What does Nigeria want from Ndigbo?”
Full text of the statement reads:
WHAT DOES NIGERIA WANT FROM NDIGBO? – OBIOZOR
The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor has reacted to the presidential nominations by the mainstream political parties, namely the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). According to him: Now, it is clear that the Nigerian national political elite have successfully orchestrated to deny the South East an opportunity to produce the president of Nigeria come 2023. By this machination, some Nigerian leaders have demonstrated gross historic injustice towards Ndigbo, beyond our expectations.
Obiozor, who is convalescing in a Dubai hospital, notes that our country, Nigeria, by their deliberate injustice has failed the Rotary Club International four way tests. Which are:
First-Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the TRUTH?
Second – Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Third – Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Fourth – Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
For Ndigbo, I urge us not to lament much but wait for the verdict of history.
In the end, this political manipulation will end in a Pyrrhic victory for those who rejoice and celebrate injustice”.
I want to also use this opportunity to appreciate all those Nigerian statesmen and patriots across the country, who supported the idea for the South East to produce the president of Nigeria in 2023, based on Nigerian proven history of rotation of power between the north and the south as well as commitment to equity, justice and fairness”.
Obiozor asks a rhetorical question: What does Nigeria want from Ndigbo?
