John Nwodo On Obasanjo

Chief John Nnia Nwodo, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has reacted to Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s call for Igbo president in 2019: “I do not belong to any party and I am not a card carrying member of any party. Truly, I am the President General of Ohanaeze and as President of such organisation you do not have to belong to any political party.”

“It is not my duty to canvass for various nominees in any of the parties. Igbos are in all the parties in Nigeria, they know the minimum requirement of the Igbo people in the political arena for effective representation.”

“Presently, we cannot be talking of representation when the incumbent President has not finished his term in office, so I do not see the topicality of this issue. It is not ripe for discussion at this stage. I think discussing this issue is like counting your chickens before they are hatched.”
