Igbo delegates that voted against aspirants from South East in the recent PDP and APC presidential primaries have been given 72 hours to leave the region.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide declared this on Monday through its national president, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka. Igboayaka described the delegates as ‘a few microscopic people that enslave the present and future generations of Igbo extraction’.
According to him, ‘Alaigbo is not a habitable for all these enemies of Ndigbo’. In his words, “It is a clear betrayal and historical sabotage for delegates whom we assigned to go and vote Southeast aspirants. They sold the future of our children.
This is a typical breach of trust and they have shown that they can’t be trusted with leadership mandate in Igbo land. “As we anticipate political and ballot revolution in Southeast and Nigeria at large, we therefore give PDP and APC delegates in 2022 presidential primaries, apart from 14 PDP delegates from Ebonyi, 38 APC delegates from Ebonyi and one APC delegate vote that came from Imo State to vacate from Igbo land with 72 hours.
“He mentioned some Igbo leaders he claimed ‘murdered sleep and will not sleep again’ as ‘Sam Daddy Anyanwu PDP, national secretary; Emeka Ihedioha, Prof Udenta Udenta, Gov Okezie Ikpeazu, Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Ifeanyi Ararume, Sam Okire, Mrs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, Hope Uzodinma, Orji Uzor Kalu and other saboteurs who sold us to Bola Tinubu, Alhmed Lawan and Atiku Abubakar’.
According to him, “Unfortunately, Gov Hope Uzodinma used our women as delegates to collect $10,000 from Chibuike Amaechi, and ended up giving the women N300,000; yet he told the delegates to vote for Ahmed Lawal.
“This is another height of greed and primitive accumulation of wealth and deliberate betrayal to Ndigbo by Gov Hope Uzodinma and his cohorts. “He said Gov Uzodinma had demonstrated his ill character over trust, and showed his inward betrayal attribute that ‘forms his personality’.
In his words, “The betrayal shall be carved down in stone as a memory that will not only haunt them but will haunt their children’s children. “Ndigbo will not forget this excruciating political experience by these political vampires, political cannibals and agents of darkness in Igbo.
“We shall in due time make public the names of the all delegate saboteurs and other stakeholders that betrayed Southeast. “The council, therefore, enjoined political stakeholders from the region to solidarise with Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for Labour Party, to ensure his victory in the forthcoming general elections.
