The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has warned that Nigerian would explode and cease to exist if the country does not elect an Igbo as the nation’s President in 2023.
The OYC, which is the youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural body, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, issued the warning on Monday in a reaction to the claim by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garba Shehu, that President Muhammadu Buhari was passionate about Nigeria’s unity and had cemented it nationwide.
The OYC spoke via a statement issued by its National President, Igboayaka. O Igboayaka.
The Statement reads in part:
“President Buhari and his cabal have violated the federal character principle with reckless abandon, leading Nigeria into the path of disintegration
“His high-handedness with tribal impunity contributed to the present ethnic crisis ravaging Nigeria.
“President Buhari has literally done everything possible to foster Nigeria’s disunity.
“What remains is the explosion of Nigeria into many countries which shall happen soon if APC and PDP deny Ndigbo an opportunity to fly their flags during 2023 presidential election.
“With the rate of insecurity and mayhem perpetrated by Buhari’s kinsmen, activities of bandits, kidnappers and Fulani killer herdsmen that are sucking the blood of innocent Nigerians on daily basis, Buhari lacks the moral justification to claim that he is passionate about Nigeria’s unity.
“In all ramifications, there will be no Nigeria if APC and PDP fail to field an Igbo person as their presidential candidate in 2023”.
