Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has threatened to unleash “Egwu Surugedee” on Igbo delegates who voted against aspirants from South East at the just-concluded presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group has equally enjoined political stakeholders from Southeast region to solidarize with Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party to ensure his victory in the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the council’s meeting at Owerri in Imo state, OYC national president, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, urged southeast politicians not to allow themselves to be used as cannon fodder for unscrupulous politicians who do not have the interest of the region at heart.
He informed that the council has given 72 hours to PDP and APC delegates who voted against southeast aspirants in their 2022 presidential primary elections, to vacate from Igbo land.
His words, “It is a clear betrayal and historical sabotage for delegates whom we assigned to go and vote Southeast aspirants, went to Eagle Square Abuja and sold the future of our children.
“This is a typical breach of trust and they have shown that they can’t be trusted with leadership mandates in Igbo Land.
“Certainty there will be “Egwu Surugedee” against those Southeast delegates”.
“We earnestly pray that God will root them out from Igbo land, as we prepare for new political emancipation from the shackles of political mediocrity and injuries they caused us.
“We shall in due time make public the names of the all delegates saboteurs and other stakeholders saboteurs that betrayed Southeast in the 2022 presidential primary election.
“We are watching closely on those set to betray Ndi Igbo come Presidential election 2023”
The council, therefore, enjoined political stakeholders from the region to solidarise with Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for Labour Party to ensure his victory in the forthcoming general election.
“We, therefore, advise Southeast political stakeholders and politicians to immediately key into the presidential project of Mr. Peter Obi.
“We warn Southeast politicians that any attempt to sabotage Peter Obi presidential election must come with great consequences”.
