After Ohanaeze's endorsement of Atiku, PDP, APC in mad race over 7m Igbo votes in the north

- With some days to the February 16 presidential election, Igbo leaders in north are said to be in dilemma over who to pledge their support between APC and PDP

- It was gathered that the need to make a fast decision becomes expedient following the Atiku's endorsement by Ohanaeze

- More facts have emerged that some aggrieved Igbo leaders have been working with a minister from the southeast to persuade Igbo people vote President Buhari

There are indications that over seven million Igbo people residing in the north have been thrown in dilemma of choice over who they will give their vote for between All Progressive Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) come February 16.

Vanguard reports that with the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by the Ohanaeze, the highest socio-political group in the southeast, disgruntled Igbo leaders in the north have been making effort to deliver the 7 million votes to the president.

Leading this plot, Legit.ng gathers, is the suspended secretary of the Igbo apex group, Okwukwu, who was reported to have embarked on a move with aggrieved Igbo leaders in the north to pay a visit to President Buhari and pledge their loyalty to him.

It was also gathered that an unnamed minister in the Buhari's cabinet from the southeast has been making wide consultation towards the endorsement of the president by Igbo people in the north.

A source said: ''There is a campaign going on for the endorsement and support for Buhari. The reason is that those not elected as leaders in the north now hijacked Atiku’s campaign, both Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Igbo Delegate Assembly.”

According to another source, Nze Ozichukwu Chukwu, who is former national vice chairman of the PDP, has also been seen gathering forces to hijack Atiku's campaign.

The source also disclosed that underground moves are ongoing to persuade the Igbo into voting Buhari against the endorsement of Atiku by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo group.

The source claimed: “Igbo leadership in the north has met and agreed to make open declaration in support of Buhari, this is an underground move. There are powerful people behind it. As we talk, money is moving and the leadership is resisting the attempt.

“Ozichukwu is busy using Atiku’s wife and people that are not part of the leadership here in the north. The seven million votes is about to go down the drain. In the next few weeks, if nothing is done, the aggrieved people will dump Atiku.”
