The Buhari South East Youth Movement, BSEYM, has accused opposition party, PDP, of working against the emergence of an Igbo President.
The group taking into consideration the recent zoning of the opposition party said the PDP had automatically ruled out the possibility of an Igbo man becoming the president of the nation.
The group added that the move by the Peoples Democratic Party showed that the party lacked regard and respect for the Ndigbo
The group based on this has called on all Ndigbo to reject the party alleging that the PDP “has greatly improvised the zone in their 16 years of misrule”.
The BSEYM urged the members of the party who hailed from the South to withdraw their membership from the party in totality as it had nothing good in plan for them.
The statement jointly signed by the BSEYM’s director-general Engr. Nwabueze Onwuneme and the publicity secretary, Comrade Igwe Samuel Obinna, said PDP’s zoning of the Presidency to the North ahead of 2019 “goes to show the disdain the PDP has for the people of the zone”.
It further added that the PDP zoning “seriously goes against the spirit of justice, fairness and equity in the rotation of power between the North and South”.
The statement continued: “peradventure the PDP succeeds, it will extend the Igbo Presidency project to year 2027 from the earlier year 2023 been projected for the emergence of a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction, which would now leave the North there for twelve years as against eight years been projected by the APC”.
Based on the lack of regard, the BSEYM urge the Ndigbo to reject the party noting that “by the end of President Muhammad Buhari’s second tenure it will then be ripe for the Igbos as the only ethnic nationality in southern Nigeria yet to produce an elected President after both the South-west and south-south have all had their shots on the Presidency of the nation”.
