“We have arrived on a consensus to commence the processes for the official unveiling of the preferred presidential candidate for Ndigbo in the 2023 elections, especially being mindful of the events that occurred during the 2015 elections and the consequences that followed up which brought up economic strangulation for Igbo traders, southeast political wilderness for eight years, the marginalization of the southeast in all ramifications that led to the rise of Biafra consciousness and violent agitations in the Southeast.

Ndigbo has put together their indispensable thinking caps and skills to X-ray which of the presidential candidates has what it takes to give the Igbos the desired expectations and protection that will guarantee their security across the country and demilitarize the southeast. The Ohanaeze Ndigbo constitution says that it’s only the Imeobi, as the apex decision-making organ, that has the power to make decisions for the entire Igbo nation across the seven Igbo speaking states which will be rectified by a well-constituted General Assembly of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Statutory Members of Imeobi are Igbo governors and former governors, Igbo federal ministers and former ministers, captain of industry of Igbo origin, etc, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will host Imeobi by the end of January 2023 and there will be the General Assembly meeting to rectify the decisions of the Imeobi.”
