Meanwhile, with about seven days to the Nigerian presidential election, the leadership of 'Igbo Delegate Assembly' has thrown its weight behind the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The endorsement by the Assembly is coming barely one week after Ohaneze Nd'Igbo, a Pan socio-cultural group in southeast Nigeria, adopted Atiku as candidate of the region in the forthcoming presidential election.

In a decision which followed a stakeholder's meeting in Abuja on Thursday, February 7, the Igbo Assembly, released its communiqué, affirming its support of the Nnia Nwodo-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo and its endorsement of Abubakar, as the Presidential ticket of choice for Ndigbo.
