Why Ohanaeze Ndigbo Wants Tinubu, Atiku & Peter Obi In Abia

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the lead Igbo cultural and social-political organization wants the three popular presidential candidates for 2023 election in Abia, Abia State on September 29, 2022.

The candidates are Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubarkar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

September 29 is the day earmarked for the celebration of the annual Igbo day.

Peter Obi is Igbo.

According to Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo the organization wants Tinubu, Atiku and Obi as special guests of honor according to a report monitored by SocietyNow.Ng on DailyPost.Ng.

Aside from the presidential candidates, Isiguzoro asserted that “Igbo Governors and leaders from the seven Igbo-speaking states will be the special guests”

“Ndigbo in their numbers are expected to attend this very important event in their numbers,” Nkpa Kanu-Uduma, the head of Media in the Office of the Secretary-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide stated on behalf of Isiguzoro.

“All Igbo clergymen will lead the prayer sessions” further revelation revealed.

There are talks that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo will unveil its preferred presidential candidates at the occasion.

These emerging talks are in the face of a strong push by the voracious “obidients” – supporters of Peter Obi – for Ohanaeze to name the Labour Party candidate as its preferred presidential candidate.

Abia state and other Igbo-speaking parts of Nigeria have been afflicted by insecurity with the mindless attacks of armed assailants dubbed unknown gunmen.
