Promises to teach Party lesson
The Igbo apex socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has threatened to punish the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), for ignoring the South-East in picking the running mate of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Recall that earlier yesterday, Atiku announced Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate, at the PDP headquarters in Abuja.
Some Igbos who believe that the region had sacrificed enough to deserve at least a VP slot from the party, are currently expressing anger over the development.
Reacting to Atikus choice, the Ohanaeze, in a statement issued by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said although the region is yet to decide on which party to support for the 2023 presidential election, it would not be PDP.
The organisation said, We will teach PDP the language they need to understand in the 2023 polls.
No Igbo political decisions have been made so far on the 2023 election, but at the appropriate time, Ndigbo will decide the political direction to go, but not the PDP, for shunning the south-East. Atiku will face the consequences of his actions.
