The Igbo Elders Consultative Forum has expressed its displeasure with the two major parties’ refusal to zone the presidency to the South-East in 2023, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party.

However, the organization expressed confidence that all hope was not gone because there were alternative paths to the presidency.

Prof. Charles Nwekeaku, the IECF Secretary-General, told Newsmen that what they did to the South-East was a betrayal and injustice.

He said, “Whatever might have happened in PDP, what is clear is that PDP has rejected the Igbo and Igbo have given the PDP more support than any other zone.

“An Igbo son, the former Vice President (Dr. Alex Ekwueme), was instrumental to the formation of the PDP. Since 1999, the Igbo have been voting for the PDP, even at the time other people migrated, Igbo remained in PDP.

“For PDP to come and change the zoning arrangement, because it is the turn of South-East, is bitter pill for Igbos. Even the people who dumped PDP in the past later came back, the PDP preferred to consider them.

“We won’t quarrel with them, but it doesn’t go down well with an average Igbo person. And so what we do next?”
