The youth division of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the foremost Igbo socio-cultural organization, has advised the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, along with his Peoples Democratic Party rival, Atiku Abubakar, to refrain from further public discourse regarding the 2023 presidential election. The group has expressed concerns that the ongoing commentary from both political figures could potentially undermine the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic foundations.
The call for restraint was issued by Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, amid observations that the political rhetoric may incite additional challenges during a period when unity is deemed crucial for national recovery. This statement follows Mr. Obi’s criticism at a recent press conference where he implied that the Supreme Court had disregarded constitutional violations concerning the required qualifications for presidential candidates.InformationGuideNigeria
The leadership of the Ohanaeze youth faction emphasized the inevitability of electoral disappointments and counseled both Mr. Obi and Mr. Abubakar to accept the outcome for the greater good of the country.
