The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has scolded people who criticized former President Goodluck Jonathan for hosting Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, both candidates for the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential nomination.
Ohanaeze argued that Jonathan should be appreciated for having a guest who in 2015 plotted his demise.
The group argued that Jonathan’s action should serve as a lesson to lawmakers about the perils of enmity and animosity in politics.

All presidential contenders should concentrate on issue-based campaigns, according to a statement from Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
Isiguzoro said: “This is one of the nationalistic gestures that should be considered as a lesson for the political elites, to eschew politics of bitterness and rancor, and interface with everyone irrespective of whether or not there were grievances in the past.
“Ndigbo expected that all the Presidential candidates for the 2023 elections should focus on issued-based campaigns devoid of tantrums and resentment.
“We are aware of what transpired in 2015, and subsequently led to the then ruling party PDP losing to APC championed by Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu; Nigerians will witness unprecedented realignment shortly, especially in the interest of the unity of the country regarding power shifting to southern Nigeria from the North in 2023.

“Goodluck Jonathan should be respected for the role of elder statesmanship exhibited by hosting a man who plotted his exit from power.”
Isiguzoro also commended Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State for accepting to be Tinubu’s coordinator in the Southeast.
He said: “Ndigbo commended the chairman of southeast Governors, Governor Dave Umahi for accepting to identify with APC Presidential candidate Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as the APC coordinator for the entire South.”
Isiguzoro further disclosed that Ohanaeze would declare its preferred presidential candidates during the 2022 Igbo Day festival on September 29th, 2022.
