And as they failed in achieving that, we are not projecting Peter Obi as an Igbo candidate. Peter Obi is actually the most competent and most honest of all the presidential candidates that have presented themselves across all the political parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter Obi candidacy is not actually an Igbo project or Ohanaeze project. It is the project that should drive every well-meaning Nigerian no matter where you\u2019re coming from. If you are passionate about the country, you\u2019ll know that Peter Obi is who we need at this time of our history as a country. What I\u2019m saying is not because Peter Obi is Igbo because no single zone can make President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa is Igbo enough to be supported as a running mate to PDP presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, OYC youth leader said Okowa is Igbo but not from the South-East.<\/p>\n<p>Onwuasoanya said, \u201cThe issue of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state, I will not deny him or disown him of being Igbo, no. But, as a journalist, you\u2019re aware of his activities especially within the period he has been the governor of Delta state. We\u2019ll like to know if he has ever associated himself with anything Igbo as a governor as far as Ohanaeze is concerned. We\u2019ll like to know when was the last time he paid his dues to Ohanaeze as an Igbo person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe hasn\u2019t even done that. He\u2019s only coming up now to claim to be Igbo because he knows it is politically convenient. He feels it is the right to do now. And of course, as Ohanaeze, we did not campaign for Igbo presidency per se, we campaigned for a South-East person to become the President of Nigeria under any of the two major political parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further argued that there is difference between big difference between Igbo president and South-East president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a big difference between Igbo president and South-East president. We are not talking about Igbo presidency, we are talking about South-East. It is very much fair that among the Southern geo-political zones, it has to be in the South-East. Even whether the South-East person is Igala. We have Igala that are from the South-East. Whether the South-East person is even Hausa. We are talking about somebody from the South-East to become the president of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to queue behind Peter Obi as the most credible candidate not because he is from South-East. It is just coincidental that he\u2019s from the South-East. Our campaign was that the two major parties should adopt candidate from the South-East and when that has failed, we are now looking for the most competent, most credible to be the next Nigerian president and we feel that person is Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party,\u201d Onwuasoanya added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has thrown its weight behind the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, stating that he&#8217;s the best candidate to become the next Nigerian presidentSouth East.
