\n
\nRecently, Ohaneze Youths Worldwide; that bogey group that compliments
\nthe pedestrianism of its parent body, Ohaneze Ndigbo, came up with a
\nstrange prescription on how best Igbo can navigate through the difficult
\nterrain that is the Igbo 2023 Presidency project. The group suggested
\nthat at least two of the five South East governors and many
\nlegislatorsshould defect to the APC to make the project realizable. It
\nmused that the Igbo choice of party is the greatest factor that will
\nvitiate their aspiration to produce a Nigerian president in 2023. I said
\nthis is a strange prescription because Ohaneze Youths and its parent
\nbody have not hidden their love, admiration, commitment, support for PDP
\nand they have formed a firm bulwark against the party\u2019s predictable
\npaths to extinction by ensuring the Igbo form the most solid block for
\nthe party since formation. It is rather strange that in the said period,
\nPDP had not done anything tangible for Igbo except having them as
\nunquestioning hewers of wood and fetchers of water while its sixteen
\nyears\u2019 glory lasted. This remains a fervent topic for another day.<\/p>\n

Back to the Ohaneze Youth prescription.\u00a0 It reeks of the hollow,
\nknee-jerk understanding of power and politics which has afflicted Igbo
\nfor neon years. Again, the same Ohaneze Youths recently belched of how
\nit was forming a grand alliance between Igbo and other Nigerians who are
\ndistanced from the present Buhari and APC government to take over the
\ncountry in 2023. Is its recent prescription therefore a design for Igbo
\nto work from within to topple the APC applecart, if I may ask? But I
\nwon\u2019t go along to invest such grand plot to the group. I won\u2019t also
\ninvest the Ohaneze Youths of wisdom even of a belated variant because it
\nwasn\u2019t speaking from wisdom but from the same pedestrian atrophy that
\nhas riddled the Igbo understanding of politics. Its prescription is
\nrather the self-serving and shallow permutations of a challenged card
\nplayer who has been cornered in the game thus any plot is game.<\/p>\n

I, for one, don\u2019t see the rest of Nigerians who have invested in APC
\nyielding grounds to the Igbo entrants into the party they so much
\nloathed and worked against in its entire history. I don\u2019t see the
\ndefection of one or two governors to APC as the elixir needed for the
\nIgbo to achieve the gargantuan project of Igbo presidency because the
\ndefection will still suffer from the absence of good faith. I don\u2019t see
\nthe defection dealing with the unceasing tirades and hate some Igbo have
\nlaunched against other Nigerians since PDP was defeated, to their
\nchagrin, in 2015. One or two defections cannot re-build the critical
\nbridges of trust and confidence which the same Ohaneze Youths and its
\nparent body assiduously worked to destroy in the larger Nigerian polity.
\nIts mending needs a critical, holistic effort that will require equally
\nassiduous bridge-builders. Simply, the Ohaneze Youths prescription won\u2019t
\nwork and except for future political prospecting, I think Igbo PDP
\nshould do well to maintain their line.<\/p>\n

Sometime in 2017, I had written a well-received article, \u2018Igbo: When
\n2019 Beckons\u2019, where I tried to call the Igbo to reason on the
\nimplications of their votes in the then coming 2019 elections to their
\ndream of ruling Nigeria n 2023. In the article, I had called the Igbo to
\nretreat to their ime obi (not the one Ohaneze and its youth group have
\ndesecrated through their mercantilist politics and shameful subservience
\nto the PDP) and strategize on how and where to vote in 2019 because
\nwhere their votes tilt and how their votes perform in the election will
\ndecide whether or not they will get the presidency in 2023. I clearly
\ntold them that mine was not an appeal for them to vote for APC (as they
\nwere bound to misconstrue it) but to take a durable decision on where to
\nvote in 2019 and live with the outcome thereafter. Mine was a suggestion
\nof deeper introspection and soul searching needed to make the right
\ndecisions that will bode ill or good for the Igbo race beyond 2019.<\/p>\n

I had in the same article, reminded Ndigbo that power is never ever
\noffered in a platter or given to those that have made the loudest noise,
\nissued so much sterile threats, cried most or generated for themselves a
\nsense of victimhood and self-pity. I had reminded them that they have to
\nwork for what they get in a combustible nationhood as Nigeria by putting
\ntheir best feet forward and adopting sobriety and tact instead of the
\nrash of emotions and sentiments they have been oozing since 2015. I told
\nthem that for them to get the best for themselves, they have to put
\ntheir best brains to work against the predilection to allow the
\nunthinking, loud and intemperate rabble seize their high grounds and
\ncommandeer those that should lead to forceful acquiescence. I told them
\nthat the reigning fad in Igboland where the tail wagged the dog must be
\nreplaced for Igbo to make a headway in 2023. I made it clear to them
\nthat a wrong move in the 2019 election stood to condemn the nearest
\npossible time an Igbo can be Nigerian president to 2039!<\/p>\n

I must point out that the few negative reactions, insults and abuses I
\nreceived for the article were predictably from the Igbo but that didn\u2019t
\nbother me. As a people, Ndigbo never cared to show they would take in my
\nhumble suggestions in the article. Rather, they, and of course, such
\nother motley cartels of PDP bogeymen in the South East such as Ohaneze
\nand Ohaneze Youths took turns to show they cared not about the indelible
\nwisdom in such suggestions as I tried to advance. Ohaneze, led by a
\npurblind, self-serving, pathologically challenged, mercenary leadership
\ntold the whole world they never cared about 2023 or even a Nigerian
\npresident of Igbo extraction. They came to howl on the rooftops that
\nthey don\u2019t need the presidency but restructuring. Such favored their
\ncontinued servitude to what was becoming the blurry interests of PDP.
\nThey never hid the ancillary role they played to whatever the PDP
\nwanted.<\/p>\n

When Atiku Abubakar emerged as the presidential candidate of the PDP,
\nthe Ohaneze was to jettison its vow to show disinterest in the
\npresidency. They waged body and soul to the pursuit of PDP and Atiku\u2019s
\ninterest. That same Ohaneze that said it wasn\u2019t interested in Nigerian
\npresidency was to grow so shamefully banal as it announced that Atiku\u2019s
\nchoice of Peter Obi as the running mate to his certainly doomed
\ncandidacy had tamed all its noisy charge that the Igbo had been
\nmarginalized! It grew so impudently blind to the counter-reasoning that
\nthe Igbo support for the candidacy of President Buhari and the APC
\nremained the shortest route to a Nigerian President of Igbo stock in
\n2023. Ohaneze\u2019s demeaning service to PDP and hate for Buhari and APC
\nwere so bad that on the day President Muhammadu Buhari was scheduled to
\ncome to Onitsha to open the Zik Mausoleum and honour the legendary Dr.
\nNnamdi Azikiwe was the day Ohaneze fixed an impromptu meeting where they
\nadopted Atiku as their candidate for the 2019 presidency. The rest is
\nhistory but suffice it to say that Ohaneze sank with Atiku in 2019 and
\nthis marked the Igbo to the second catastrophic political disaster in
\nfour years and blew the best chances Igbo had of producing a Nigerian
\npresident in 2023! Talk of thunder striking the same object at the same
\nspot a second time?<\/p>\n

The 2019 election has come and gone and the 2023 contest races on but
\nthe Igbo are seized in a maze of not knowing how best to shell out from
\na self-dug hole and stake a sustainable demand for the presidency in
\n2023, which many feel should be theirs for the asking. Ohaneze Youths
\nhas been seized in a fit where it manufactures a cacophony of ideas,
\nthreats, action plans and routes through which Igbo will get the prized
\ndiadem and among these plethora of roadmaps in the latest where it is
\ncalling on some Igbo governors and legislators to defect to APC, which
\nhad been so horribly profiled by groups like Ohaneze Youths in the
\nrecent past. We will see how this resort to abject, knee-jerk
\npedestrianism will give us the presidency and most especially how it
\nwill spur other parts of Nigeria who have been subjected to ceaseless
\npillorying by such groups as Ohaneze for the interest of PDP to now ease
\npower to the laps of Igbo in 2023. We have also heard some ageless
\nOhaneze chieftains and virulent proponents of PDP politics like
\nChukwuemeka Ezeife issue the threat that Igbo will declare Biafra if
\nthey are not given the presidency in 2023. Time will tell how these will
\nwork<\/p>\n

But it Is germane to state that Igbo are far gone in the labyrinth which
\nsuch groups like Ohaneze, Ohaneze Youths and such other groups and
\nindividuals sworn to the perpetuation of the narrow PDP interests have
\ndug for Ndigbo to redeem what certainly is a very difficult mission. For
\nlong, Igbo have been enfooled, duped and encased in a cocoon of
\nduplicity by the kind of hollow and acrid politics that have benefited
\nonly the same people that are wallowing in sheer confusion on how Igbo
\ncan suddenly become president without any enduring template. Those who
\nthought they were furthering their primitive greed by deepening the
\ncrevices between Ndigbo and the rest of Nigeria, destroying critical
\nbridges that should make us trusted confederates in a multi-ethnic
\nNigeria are those trashing about today in predictable myopia, issuing
\nimpracticable panaceas to our getting our rightful dues in Nigeria. It
\nis so shameful. Their self-serving bad politics anchored on promoting
\nhate, mutual distrust, anger and division since the fall of PDP in 2015
\nis coming to hurt and hunt Igbo today. They may have reasons to sustain
\nthis bad politics because it benefited them as it lasted but the
\ngenerality of Igbo is bearing the brunt today and will bear it for many
\nmore years to come. We are all collective victims of their collective
\ngreed and this will haunt us for many years to come.<\/p>\n

There is still time for all Igbo to start mending real fences; not for
\nIgbo governors to stage a defection to APC or for the entire Igbo to
\nempty into APC for the purpose of getting the presidency in 2023 but for
\nall Igbo to rebuild trust and confidence with other Nigerians. They may
\nstill stay put in PDP but they must reach out to others and engender the
\nspirit of oneness with other Nigerians. Igbo must adapt to the reality
\nthat getting the Igbo presidency may take a little longer but repairing
\nand mending destroyed bridges will certainly do much to reconcile Igbo
\nto other Nigerians and ensure we don\u2019t sweat in the future to get what
\nshould rightly belong to us in the larger Nigerian space.<\/p>\n
