feeding Nigerians with propaganda
“We want him and his likes who are feeding Nigerians with propaganda from the seat if power to know that the youths have learnt from history and will strive hard not to repeat the mistakes of the past in our resolve to revamp the economy of Nigeria. “The same presidency Mr. Fashola is promising Yoruba youth in 2023 is what the current minister of labour and productivity, Chris Ngige promised the South Easterners. Another attempt to perpetrate the ethnic division of the country? “We want to say expressly that nothing can stop our collective resolve to ensure the restructuring of Nigeria in order to find solutions to myriads of problems facing our country. “We again call on Presidential candidates who are committed to the restructuring agenda to show commitment by signing an agreements documents to ensure restructuring of Nigeria within six months of their assumption to office. UPP has zoned 2023 presidential ticket to Southeast – Chekwas Okorie Chairman of the UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie on his part said yesterday: “For us in UPP, we are not presenting a presidential candidate this time for good reasons and so for 2023, we have already sounded a notice that we are going to present a south-east presidential candidate. “So nobody crowns you a president, not even Buhari has the power to crown anybody president. The most important thing is that your people must be prepared to work for it and lobby other parts of the country because no section has succeeded in making a president. Buhari tried it three times with mainly support from his side but he couldn’t make it until his support base expanded. “So, the Igbo are desirous of the president. We have good reasons to ask other parts of the country to concede to us but it is not something you do based on sentiment or expect them to give it to you out of their own milk of human kindness. You must play the right politics to get it.” Chairman of the South East Caucus of Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC, Prince Emeka Okafor on his part dismissed Fashola’s position on 2023 saying it was a persona view of the minister even as he urged other geopolitical zones not to see Ndigbo as stupid and toothless bulldogs. Okafor urged the Works, Power and Housing Minister to be circumspect in his speeches so as not to ruffle the feathers of Ndigbo. “If Nigeria should remain united we should know how to share power.
Every right thinking person in this country should know that the Igbo have suffered so much and it is their turn to produce the President in 2023”, the IPAC leader said. He accused Fashola of being selfish which he said is one of the major problems of the political class in the country. “They should not think that the Igbo are stupid; that Igbo don’t have teeth to bite. If they think like that they are wrong. They should not push Igbo to the wall”, Okafor cautioned. Fashola is positioning himself ahead of 2023 – Onovo NCP Presidential Candidate Fashola Is Positioning Himself for 2023 In his reaction, the former presidential candidate of Nigeria Conscience Party, NCP Martin Onovo described Fashola’s assertion as capable of undermining power sharing agreements across the country even as he inferred that the minister may be positioning himself as a possible candidate in the 2023 election. “It is unjust to exclude any part of Nigeria from power. If he knows what he is doing he should apologise. A large number of reasonable Nigerians understand that such statement is basically unreasonable. I suspect he is positioning himself ahead of 2023 because as a minister, he is an agent of the president. So for him to make such statement suggests that there is an ulterior motive as he may have information we do not have as a serving minister. In other words, Fashola is playing a game of political exclusion. It is not about region, the entire nation including the Northern Elders Forum are united against Buhari.”
