Ohanaeze Presidency neither for Joseph nor Pharaoh – Varsity Lecturer

Pioneer secretary of South East Peoples Assembly and associate professor of Political Science and International Relations, University of Abuja, Dr. Promise Onyewuchim Okoro, has said there is no provision for consensus candidate in the constitution of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Stating that there is neither a Joseph nor Pharaoh in the contest for Ohanaeze presidency, Okoro declared: “You must not be a ‘Joseph’ known by ‘Pharaoh’ before emerging as the PG of Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide.”

He condemned the presentation of a consensus candidate by a group of people as choice of Imo State, saying the decision on who leads Ohanaeze will be determined by all Igbo members, and not just people from Imo State, whose turn it is to produce a President General.

Okoro said with 2023 general election coming close, Ohanaeze cannot afford to be divided, while warning: “Our leaders and elders should desist from acts capable of generating bad blood, divisions and acrimonies among our people.”

Full text of Okoro’s statement reads: “In the last few weeks ago , the issue of Ohanaeze presidency has been on the national discourse especially in the print and social media. Though it is the turn of ndi Imo to produce the next President General, that does not imply that anyone or selected group of individuals with vested interests should impose a candidate on not only imolites but also the entire igbo nation.

“Article 11B of Ohanaeze constitution is very clear and explicit on how a President General  will emerge. It is not just an Imo State affair but  rather the entire states that make up Ohanaeze must participate and elect a candidate of their choice and by this Imo State is expected by Ohanaeze constitution to produce not more than three aspirants for that position.

“Ohanaeze as a socio-cultural organisation that unite Ndigbo worldwide cannot afford to be fractured or divided at this critical point in time with 2023 general election in view. Our leaders and elders should desist from acts capable of generating bad blood, divisions and acrimonies among our people.

“Ndi Imo like other Ohanaeze member states are very much blessed and endowed with men and women of high intergrity and decorum, who are not only eminently qualified but also have excelled in their specialties. Endorsing or rather ‘coronating’  one person out of several qualified others is to say the least unacceptable and an open invitation  to an endless crisis.

“We demand for a level playing ground for all the aspirants.  We also demand for a free, fair and credible election rather than coronation. It is even wrong to talk of ‘consensus’ candidate when there is no contention among the Imo aspirants. Worse still, Imeobi Ohanaeze has neither met nor set up an electoral committee, yet people are talking of Joseph and Pharaoh connections.

“You must not be a ‘Joseph’ known by ‘Pharaoh’ before emerging as the PG of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide. Truth is that Ohanaeze presidency is neither for Joseph no for Pharaoh.”

    Any Imolite who is associated with traitors like Alhaji Rochas Okoroawusa
    or Mallam Abubakar Uzodima should not dare aspire for the Presidency of
    Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
    Such an individual will be deemed as being compromised because the above
    duo are both members of the Axis of Evil Party,the so called APC,which is
    an anti-Igbo Party.
    The APC led Government of Mallam Muhammadu Buhri, has not only
    designated our flag-bearing,non-violent,and unarmed Millennials of
    IPOB as a Terrorist Group but has also singled out Igbo Youths for
    marginalization and extermination.
    Since Buhari took over the Presidency in 2015, hundreds of our Igbo childrens
    have been slaughtered in cold blood in Cities and Towns of the South East
    by the Nigerian Army and the Police at the beshest of their Commander in
    Chief, Mallam Muhammadu Buhari.
    Over 500 of our IPOB Youths taken as hostages by the Nigerian Army and the
    Police during their Python Dance (Egwu Eke) Military Campaigns in Igboland
    have remmained unaccounted for up till today.
    True Igbo Patriots will no longer sit back and watch as this great Epic
    Organization of ours,Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which was onec headed by the
    late Nkemba of Asaba, General Hannibal Joe Achuzie ( Air Raid),is thus
    being rubbished by some bloody Nigerian Igbos and Igboawusas.
    Whosoever is elected or rather chosen to replace,the current lacklustre,
    Dr.John Nnia Nwodo, must make it his primary duty to see that this
    failed moribund Banana Republic of our is restructured before and
    futher Presidential Election is held in this country,come 2023.
    An Igbo Presidency under our current structure will be tantamounted
    to putting a new wine into a putrefied old wine bottle.
    No! That will indeed be like a Greek gift, (a metaphorical Trojan horse)
    aimed at perpetuating the current status quo of Hausa/Fulani Islamic
    Hegemony in the polity.
    No to the status quo ante bellum!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani Islmic Hegemony!!
    All Hhail Biafra,our God’s Own Land of the Rising Sun!!!
