Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has been urged to throw his weight behind 2023 Igbo Presidency.
This was made known by the Igbo Socio-Cultural Organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo in an interview by Journalists.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Publicity Secretary, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, who spoke noted that the suffering Ndigbo are going through under the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari was because of the support the Igbos gave to Jonathan.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Spokesman noted: “The Igbo position on Jonathan’s (alleged) presidential ambition in 2023 is that the Igbo spirit will be against him, the totality of Igbo spirit will be against him and he should realise it.
“Because he is expected to support the Igbo; a form of spiritual reciprocity, to reciprocate the Igbo kind gesture towards him.”
He added: “Whatever you see the Igbo suffered under President Buhari was as a result of the support we gave Jonathan. He should realise it. That is the Ohanaeze Ndigbo position and by extension Igbo position.”
The Group, however, said that it will ensure that any political party that presents a candidate from the zone as Vice President will not get the support of the people there.
