The full statement reads below…
“Anyone encouraging Atiku Abubakar to contest for President 2023 against the political tides is deceiving him as igbo support had eluded him in 2023, some political Jobbers are encouraging Atiku of igbo support in 2023,this is the weakest link to defraud Atiku Abubakar on a fake promissory note to make believe that Igbos will support him 2023”.
“OYC wishes to categorically clear, that Igbos reject Atiku Abubakar 2023 Presidential bid as those who deceived him through Restructuring of Nigeria in 2019 have been systematically displaced in Igboland and as they operated illegally without registration in CAC. Atiku Abubakar should know that igbo Governors were doubtful of his sincerity, and the North and West will opt for a fresh choice but definitely not him”.
“Igbo Youths had Commended vehemently the miscalculation of the Presidential spokesman on biafra, there’s need for President Muhammadu Buhari to meet with the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo with the back up of igbo Governors and Traditional Rulers not the one sponsored by Atiku Abubakar”.
