2023:Igbos must do this now or forget about presidential ambition come 2023. Arewa youth declares! Details.
Recall that in recent times, Arewa youths under the aegis of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has been dishing out ultimatums and conditions on which to give their support and backing to aspirants and zones in the forth coming 2023 presidential election. This time their focus has beamed on the South East and they have issued the region with conditions on what they must do to earn their consideration for possible support.
Arewa youths had called on Igbo leaders to deal with IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu and other pro-Biafra activists before negotiating for the presidency in 2023.
This ultimatum came after Ohanaeze Ndigbo (Worldwide) had expressed confidence that the South-East would produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023.
Thus in reaction, Shettima said it would be difficult to trust the South-East with power amid the call for Nigeria’s breakup.
He said, “If Ohanaeze says they will negotiate, then that is a bit of politics but unfortunately for them, they need to ensure sanity in their region first.”
The statement went further to state, “Nobody will deprive them the opportunity to produce the president being a Nigerian but not when they have one of their own (Nnamdi Kanu) threatening the corporate existence of our nation, Nigeria.”
