2023: APC Slams Atiku Over Comments On Igbo Presidency

APC has slammed Atiku over his comment on Igbo Presidency.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential council in the southeast, Dr. Josef Onoh, has knocked the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, over a recent promise to be the stepping stone to an Igbo presidency in Nigeria.

Onoh said Atiku was Vice President of Nigeria for eight years and didn’t do anything tangible about empowering the Igbos politically.

He also took a swipe at the PDP candidate, saying he has not made any significant contribution to tackling the insecurity plaguing the southeast but wants the people of the region to vote for him in 2023.

Speaking further, Onoh alleged that Atiku does not understand the concept of restructuring, which he is promising, or how to achieve it but only lies in God’s name.

The reaction of the APC chieftain followed Atiku’s submission last Thursday, in which he urged the people of the southeast region to vote for him to pave the way for the Igbo presidency.

The former Vice President described himself as the stepping stone to the Igbo presidency.

He made the submission in Anambra State while addressing supporters during his party’s presidential campaign in the state.

Atiku boasted that he has shown his support for the Igbo presidency by running with an Igbo man on three occasions while seeking the country’s presidency. He told the people of Anambra that a vote for the Atiku/Okowa ticket in 2023 is a faster route to realizing the dream of an Igbo presidency.

But reacting, Onoh blasted the former Vice President, stating that his only affiliation to the southeast was marrying from the region but later divorcing the woman.

He said: “Atiku came to the southeast with intent to deceive because he cannot be talking about giving the southeast restructuring as if it is exclusive to the south east or as if that is all we need.

“See him promising restructuring without knowing the full import of what the concept and content of restructuring entails.
