Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC), said it has intensify lobby for President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor among the five South East governors.
The group, in a statement obtained by ABACITYBLOG, noted that they have begin lobby in the North, adding that while the East will produce the next President, the North will produce Vice.
OYC faulted the alliance between the Southwest and the North, describing it as farce.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had taken the lead to build bridges across Six Geo political Zones, through aggressive persuasion on some aggrieved Northern groups and leaders,who felt marginalised in the President Buhari regime or schemed out of relevance and importantly had viewed Southwest alliance with the North as a farce.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had concluded arrangements to play hosts First class traditional Rulers, Opinion leaders, Prominent Northern groups and Arewa Youth leaders to re align and build Confidence ahead of 2023 Presidential election without any political affiliations or party, as North had been the Traditional parnter in progress since 1960s with the old Eastern Region, Until there was mutual suspicion brewing between the years created by artificial barriers which this move and series of consultations will automatically restore what had been lost, which hopefully will restore the North and Old Eastern Region alliances, then the insecurity in some quaters will be flush into the dustbin of History.
“Old Eastern Region alliance with the North through proper understanding and cooperation, will produce One of the present Southeast Governors and one present Northern Governor,or former Vice President or former Governor or Senator depending the choice of the North , together will Pair ahead of 2023.
“We are extending hands of friendship with the Coalition of Northern groups and Arewa Youth leaders, for to build a United front and alliance that will hold the two regions together as partnership,as we had in 1960s, History will always repeat itself,as Traditional parnters in Progress,A Nigeria President of Igbo stock will largely favour the North with huge dividends of democracy as currently witnessed in the huge dividends of democracy being harvested by Southwest leaders for Yoruba land in President Buhari regime. North and South West will be priority in the 2023 Pair of Old Eastern Region/Northern Region.
