The Apex-Igbo Organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has replied a former minister, Adeseye Ogunlewe over his recent comments that the Igbo people cannot produce a president in 2023 because of their lack of unity.
Ohanaeze, in response to the comment on Wednesday, attacked Ogunlewe stating that he was suffering from ‘Mouth Diarrhoea’. This was contained in a statement sent to Newsmen on Thursday evening, signed by the secretary-general of the group, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
The group described Ogunlewe’s comments as part of “calculated attempts, crooked and provocative onslaught against Ndigbo intertwined with fallacies and falsehoods.”
2023: Igbos Are Very Rich But This Is Why They can’t Produce Next President – Ogunlewe
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored the man suffering from mouth diarrhea, but we call on Nigerians to ignore him, as 2023 is the not about southeast but the repair of a country sinking deep into the abyss of disintegration and insecurity.”
“Ogunlewe is not speaking for “omo oduduwa or Yoruba nation”, men and women of morality from the southwest are supporting and canvassing for the 2023 Igbo Presidency, not the 2023 Southeast Presidency, the difference between the former and latter is what the likes of Ogunlewe may not comprehend easily.”
“The survival of Nigeria beyond 2023 lies in the fact that every section of the country had tasted the Presidency except the IGBO, and attempts by the fifth columnist to coax and intimidate a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction is the quickest route to disintegration and an unending secessionist movement in Nigeria.”
“We are clamoring for Igbo Presidency, not southeast Presidency, whether an Igbo from Niger Delta or Benue or Kogi or southeast emerges in any major political party, we will identify with him and support him.”

“Contrary to Ogunlewe’s claims, Igbos are united in the pursuit of the 2023 Presidency, for the first time since the return of democracy in 1999, a lot of consultative meetings and backstage activities are ongoing to convince Nigerians of the need for the 2023 Igbo Presidency Project.”
“Igbo leadership is at the forefront of this Noble Project, and Igbo Presidential hopefuls are putting finishing touches on 2023 Presidency, surely we hope Ogunlewe will jump the ship immediately IGBO succeed President Muhammadu in 2023.”
“Nigerians are yearning for an Igbo in Aso Rock by 2023.”
