The Pan Nigerian President of Igbo Extraction Coalition PANPIEC
have warned Ndigbo that they cannot be pursuing Biafra and Nigerian presidency
at the same time.
Speaking in Abuja on
Tuesday with cross section of church leaders during a concerned
stakeholders meeting , the Chairman of PANPIEC Igbo Presidency 2023 Strategy
Team, Rev Obinna Akukwe said that Ndigbo are prepared for 2023 elections but there
is a vocal minority who wants Biafra at all costs.
Allaying the fears of the concerned clerics, especially from the
north, that Peter Obi will declare Biafra if he becomes president, Rev Akukwe
said that the insinuations are unfounded.
Akukwe warned Ndigbo to stop all the tales that Fulani have
taken over South East. According to him
" I came back from the South East Peace Tour on Sunday,
apart from about six communities having clashes with Fulani, two in Enugu
State, one in IMO,Anambra, Abia and Ebony, which the security agencies are
tackling, Fulani have not invaded South East"
He told the clerics that Igbo are pushing for a president of
South East extraction , but Atiku and Tinubu also have stronghold.
He told Igbo clerics at the meeting to stop spreading baseless
WhatsApp messages connoting that South East is under siege to their northern
counterparts because no such siege exists.
Rev Akukwe said that PANPIEC Igbo Presidency Strategy Team, Igbo
Mandate Congress IMC and Igbo Think Tank ITT are engaging aspects of splinter
IPOB for peaceful polls in the South East.
The clerics prayed for peace in Nigeria and free polls and
resolved to force their members to vote for their choice candidates on the day.
