The Igbo umbrella body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday in Awka, Anambra State, endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer for the presidential election in February.
Speaking to journalists, president of Ohanaeze in the state, who is
also the chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo State Presidents Forum, Elder Chris
Eluemunoh, said the seven presidents-general of the seven states that
make up the Igbo nation which include Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi,
Rivers and Delta, resolved to endorse Jonathan “because of the need to
implement the national conference recommendations among other things.”
A communiqué signed by the seven presidents-general, said, “since the All Progressive Congress (APC) opted out of the conference, it means that the initiator, President Jonathan would be voted to implement it.”
It added: “Considering the realities of the forthcoming 2015 general elections, Ohanaeze Ndigbo State Presidents Forum has objectively made a critical assessment of the scenario and our findings revealed that implementation of the just concluded National Conference resolutions is necessary for the sake of equity and fairness. In view of the foregoing, the Ohanaeze State Presidents Forum endorses President Jonathan for the presidential election and urges all Igbos in the 36 states of the federation and Abuja to vote massively for him.”
On the alleged crisis rocking the apex Igbo body, the group said Chief Enwo Igariweh and Dr Joe Nworgu remained the president-general and Secretary general of the body.
