TICKET: WHY IGBO WILL NOT GIVE PDP BLOCK VOTE IN 2019 – BIAFRA GROUP
The Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has insisted that the South
East will “not give block votes” to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar because he picked Peter Obi as his running mate.
BNYL through its National Leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard
stated that the “Vice President slot given to the South East was to divide the
Igbo and silence the Biafra agitators.”
In a statement issued and made available to reporters, the BNYL
leader said the selection of Obi was a plot to deceive the South East into
helping to extend the “Fulani rule” over Nigeria.
Richard also stated that the “struggle for Biafra is beyond
political position.”
The statement reads, “Politicians remains Politicians, Biafra
Agitators remains Biafra agitators, it is not all about political offices, we
are not fools that we should be fighting while Politicians will be taking
advantage of our struggles to seek political offices.
“We don’t know Peter Obi in Biafra Movement and he is not
influential in the South East or South South that our people will vote Atiku
because he was appointed a running mate, it was a tactic to extend more
northern rule,
“We are happy they are now waking up and understands the politics
of the North against the East. We have been hearing clamours of Igbo Presidency
2023 and I feel the only way to make sure that doesn’t happen they have to
present another Fulani so that by appointing an Igbo as his VP the tenure of
the North will extend to another eight years and by then the South West will be
preparing to take over.
“I think the Rivers State Governor was right when he said the APC
is using some aspirants in PDP.”
