Again, his identity, age, and academic records are shrouded in controversy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo worsen an already terrible situation, Tinubu is sick. Even during the APC primary, he needed the support of nearby security personnel so as not to fall flat while trying to stand up and his hands were shaking terribly<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOhanaeze Ndigbo salutes Igbo Presidential aspirants in both the APC and the PDP for standing firm to the end, in the face of utter betrayal by both parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, the usually calm Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu appropriately captured the mood of Ndigbo, especially the South East when he asked a very pertinent question while speaking at the APC primary, &#8220;Where is the Justice?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOhanaeze Ndigbo salutes the Southern and Middle Belt Alliance (SAMBA) for insisting that it is the turn of the South-East, come 2023. Elder statesmen like Afenifere leader Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Niger Delta Leader, Pa Edwin Clark, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Middle Belt Leader, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, etc. for rising above ethnic sentiments to be true heroes of Nigerian democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the 2023 Presidential Election shall make or mar Nigeria, if Nigerians fail to rise above ethno-religious sentiments to &#8220;Take back Nigeria&#8221; from the vicious grip of the kleptomaniac politicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, the accounts for the sudden surge in the number of new registrants in the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is enough evidence of the expected political tsunami that will be sweeping Nigeria&#8217;s political space in 2023, as the youths organize themselves at great personal costs and sacrifices, to prove that their super firepower on social media can be converted to real votes through their PVCs, to salvage their beloved country, Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said that denying the South-East region the 2023 Presidency will attract consequences including an increase in agitations for the independence of Biafra.
