THE World Igbo Youth Congress, WIYC, said they would
embark on one-million-man march to Aso Rock this
month to show support for the reelection of President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
The WIYC, howevered vowed to stop the re-election of
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State in 2019, saying
that he has continued to suffer workers and pensioners
of the State by owing them months of arrears of their
entitlements.
The group in a statement signed by its National
Publicitity Officer, Mazi Alex Okemiri, said “after
consultation with Igbo Youth stakeholders, we decided
to march to Aso Rock and demand that President
Buhari should run for second tenure.
“We will support Buhari with bloc votes from the
South-East.
Even majority of members of the Ohanaeze
Ndigbo have given us their support that President
Buhari is more credible than agents of restructuring
and that President Buhari has only 4 years to hand
over to an Igbo Man in 2023.
“Ndigbo will support Buhari if he rehabilitates all roads
in South-East, and support SME businesses. The World
Igbo Youth Council will consider President Buhari over
other Northerners for Presidency in 2019”.
The group however scored Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu poor, saying that the “World Igbo
Youth Council will officially present an award to the
Governor as the face of bad governance and worst
Governor on December 10, 2017, in Umuahia”, vowing
that no intimidation would stop them from presenting
the award.
The youth group listed Ikpeazu’s sins to include: “non-
payment of workers’ salaries and pension; his made in
Aba products promotion campaign is a fraud”.
“He (allegedly) uses the campaign of made in Aba
products to establish a secret company in China, and
uses the scheme to (allegedly) launder funds through
his aides, and that is why he has no control over some
of his Ngwa aides, especially those from Obingwa.
“His Obingwa aides are richer than Abia State and will
be dragged to the EFCC by January, to know how they
acquired over half of the choices properties in Aba and
Umuahia.
“Ikpeazu has collapsed all the infrastructure in Abia,
without constructing any major road in Abia, rather he
is hiding under the Governors’ forum to demand for
Federal Government intervention in federal roads in
Abia.
“Ikpeazu has been caged by his beer parlour Ngwa
aides, and when he loses election, Obingwa people will
stone him, he should emulate Mugabe and resign and
hand over to his Deputy”, the group said.
WIYC, said on the strength of its position, it was in total
agreement of former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu’s view
that “Ikpeazu will be the first Abia sitting Governor.
