2023: Igbos will dump PDP if Atiku wins presidential ticket - Ohanaeze Ndigbo threatens



As the 2023 Presidential election draws near, the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo, has threatened to mobilize its members to dump PDP if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar wins the party's presidential ticket.
While visiting former President Olusegun Obasanjo last weekend, Atiku said there was no time he has ever failed to get the Presidential ticket. He also expressed confidence in getting PDP's 2023 presidential ticket.
Reacting to his stance, Ohaneze in a statement released said the group has always supported PDP and will not hesitate to withdraw its support for the party if a presidential candidate of Igbo extraction is not fielded come 2023.
The statement reads

''Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar’s boastful stance of winning the 2023 PDP presidential ticket is a nostalgic belief that has decorated him as a desperate politician swimming against the political currents and tides of the moment.
Atiku has misread the mood of the nation ahead of 2023, and this miscalculation may retire him from partisan politics in 2023. Atiku has the constitutional rights to aspire for the office of President in 2023, but one had expected him not to rock the boat now that the odds are against him based on his age and his region.
He should not fight dirty or appear desperate for the presidency, rather it’s time for him to voluntarily quit partisan politics and takes his rightful place in history as an Elder statesman without being dishonored and disgraced.

Ndigbo had expected that Atiku Abubakar should support a younger person, for 2023, especially after the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike openly denounced Atiku’s proposal, for him to be his running mate in 2023.
