Southeast politicians planning to turn Igbos in the north against their host communities

Southeast politicians planning to turn Igbos in the north against their host communities - Group cries out

- The Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA) said it has uncovered plots by some southeast politicians to cause disaffection between the Igbos and their northern host communities

- The IDA, therefore, urged all Igbos living the north and the FCT not to listen to politicians that want to cause enmity between them and their host communities

- The Igbo group added that it is working on building more harmonious relations between Igbos and their northern hosts

The Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA) says it is working to build on its harmonious relationship with the peoples of Northern Nigeria as the 2019 general elections approach.

The group, therefore, cautioned against moves capable of igniting crisis in parts of the country, as the 2019 general elections draw near.

The president general and secretary general of group, Chuief Chikezie Nwogu and Auston Ifedineze, said this in a statement in Enugu on Sunday, December 30.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Igbo Delegates Assembly is the umbrella body of Ndigbo in the North and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The group which has been in existence for over three decades is the second largest Igbo socio-cultural body after Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Worldwide.

The group appealed to Ndigbo to stay wherever they were registered and cast their vote.

The group said it had uncovered plots by politicians from the southeast to cause disaffection between the igbos and their host communities.

It said that any move that would dissuade Ndigbo living in the North from remaining where they registered to vote was capable of disenfranchising over 7 million registered voters.

“Information reaching us reveals that some overzealous individuals are going around the North and FCT, claiming that they are the leaders of Ndigbo in the region.

“The Igbo Delegates Assembly, hereby, disowns such politicians.

“For the past three decades, we have existed in the North and managed our people and their welfare strategically and perfectly well.

“This has resulted to the current peaceful and harmonious coexistence between us and our host communities in the North and FCT.

“We are fervently working out modalities to improve the tempo, most especially now that the 2019 general elections is at the corner.

“We, therefore, categorically state that we do not need overzealous politicians to come to the North to do anything with the capacity to incite the host communities against the lives of the over 13.3 million Ndigbo in the North.

“We have an acceptable means of communication with our people in all 420 local government areas in Northern Nigeria and do not want any distortion of that established system,” the group said.

The leaders of the group wondered where such politicians were in the period of adversity.

They further appealed to Ndigbo living in the North and the FCT not to be deluded and drawn into actions capable of distorting the good relationship with their host communities.

According to them, the group will soon start the process of sensitising its members on its plans for the forthcoming general elections.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a chieftain of the ruling APC and director general of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, on Thursday, December 27, highlighted what the people of southeast should do to have a shot at the presidency in 2023.

Okechukwu said massive support for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari during presidential election holding on February 16, 2019, is the only condition for the zone to produce president in 2023.

The APC chieftain, however, said that only the southeast people can deny the region of the presidency in 2023 if they vote against Buhari in the next year presidential election.
