Press Release 

…Atiku is a hero of Democracy but will not have Igbo support in 2023

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had described the Former Vice President and 2019 PDP  presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar as a Courageous Elder Statesman that should be decorated on June 12 2020 by President Muhammadu Buhari as one the heroes of Democracy, in honour of his deep immense Contributions towards the growth and development of Democracy in Nigeria, 

It’s on record that Atiku Abubakar had played significant roles with late Mko Abiola to restore democracy in Nigeria starting  from June 12 1993, so Igbo Youths, as our our in-law recommend him for National recognition as the African Hero of Democracy 2020, as the best way to appreciate his efforts and respect his beliefs as an African leader and encourage him to support and respect the Gentleman agreement on Rotational  Presidency between North and South, which will  inevitably allow a Southern Nigeria President to emerge as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023 through Peaceful Approach.

Anyone encouraging Atiku Abubakar to contest for President 2023  against  the  political  tides is deceiving  him as Igbo support had eluded him in 2023. Some political Jobbers are encouraging Atiku of Igbo support in 2023, this is the weakest link to defraud Atiku Abubakar on a fake promissory  note to make believe that Igbos will support him in 2023.

OYC wishes to categorically make it clear that  Igbos reject Atiku Abubakar 2023 Presidential bid as those who deceived him through Restructuring of Nigeria in 2019 have been systematically displaced in Igboland and as they operated illegally without registration in CAC.

Atiku Abubakar should know that Igbo Governors  were doubtful of his sincerity, and the North and West will opt for a fresh choice but definitely not him.

Igbo Youths had commended vehemently, the miscalculation of the Presidential spokesman on Biafra, there’s need for President Muhammadu Buhari to meet with the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo  with the backup of Igbo Governors and Traditional Rulers not the one sponsored by Atiku Abubakar.
