Atiku Has Our Total Support, Non-negotiable – Ohanaeze

The Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has urged Ndigbo to ensure they participated in the rescheduled polls and vote massively for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

In a statement by its spokesman, Chuks Ibegbu, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization maintained that its endorsement of Atiku and his running mate, Peter Obi was sacrosanct.
The statement warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC against further postponement of the general elections.
INEC had postponed the Presidential and National Assembly elections which were to hold on Saturday, 16 February and rescheduled them to February 23.
“Our position on the presidential election has already been made known. That position is sacrosanct and in tandem with the decision of the other major ethnic nationality organisations in Nigeria, viz, PANDEF, NEF, Middle Belt Forum and Afenifere.
“Ohanaeze also warns against further shift of the elections for whatever reason. We also warn against any rigging of any type. The democratic will of Nigerians should on no account be trammeled. Votes must count this time around,” the statement partly read.
Ohanaeze and the four other major ethnic nationality groups had endorsed Atiku and Obi following their promise to restructure Nigeria if voted in as leaders of the country.
