2019 Presidency: APC Reacts To Ndigbo Endorsement Of Atiku/Obi Ticket

All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the resolve by the leadership of various Igbo groups to support the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Peter Obi, in the 2019 general election.

The ruling party said that the endorsement does not hold water, describing it as “an attempt to sell a discredited party to Igbo people.”

Spokesman of the APC, Lanre Issa-Onilu, stated this Wednesday night while speaking to reporters at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

Recall that Igbo Leaders of Thought, the political elite, the intelligentsia, women groups, religious leaders, among others, said they would identify with Atiku and his deputy because of their promise to restructure the country along geopolitical zones.

Speaking, Issa-Onilu said the endorsement was an affront on the mentality of the Igbos who, he said, were victims of PDP’s 16 years of ‘misrule’.

His words: “The APC considers Atiku and his PDP co-travellers as people who have lost any sense of shame.

“The purported endorsement of Atiku and PDP by some leaders of the South East for the 2019 general elections is an affront on the Igbo people who were frontline victims of the 16 years of the PDP misrule.

“It will be interesting to know what the PDP will be telling the Igbo people during the campaign.

“The South East people have three and half years of visible progress in terms of massive infrastructure and the thousands of common people who are benefiting from the social programme investments under APC to compare to the PDP’s 16 years of retrogression.

“We in APC are confident that the Igbo won’t be fooled by any group, by whatever name, to sell a thoroughly discredited party like the PDP to the very discerning Igbo people.”

    Let me open some records for Nigerians:
    In August of last year,Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said that the man in
    Aso Rock is not Buhari rather he is a cloned fellow by name
    Aminu Jubril from Sudan…This revelation shocked the cabals
    to their bone marrow..so immediately they arranged a military
    exercise code name Operation Python Dance,which killed over
    300 of our youths.
    .
    The target was Nnamdi Kanu but the Nigeria military missed
    the target and this brought a heavy tension in Aso Rock
    because they knew that whenever he will appear again,they
    will have a serious problem to contend with….But to put salt
    to their wound we alleged to them that they are holding our
    leader captive… although they denied but our consistency got
    them worried…Their worst shocker is our Sit At Home of 14th
    September….We laughed at them because they don’t know
    that we are playing a dangerous game with them….they were
    disorganized,with international querries here and there…
    .
    Now Nnamdi Kanu is back,they know that they are in trouble
    because their greatest secret will be laid bare…That is why
    they reacted quickly by questioning the Isreali govt concerning
    Nnamdi Kanu, although they got their answers but we’re not
    pleased because Isreal has openly declared support for
    Biafrans by shielding Nnamdi Kanu in their country.
    .
    When Nnamdi Kanu said it that he is going to unmask Jubril
    the Impostor…what did the govt do? They moved quickly to
    silence Radio Biafra but they failed…they moved again and
    vandalized every joint that sells Radio Biafra newspaper,mores
    till the the dice is cast and Nigeria is now in a dire situation
    with no light at the end of the tunnel…
    .
    Nnamdi Kanu broked the news and now even the poor masses
    on the streets are now discussing about the new
    development…the Impostor in the Aso Rock…Yet many people
    are still blind to see that Nigeria will not exceed 2019 in her
    existence.
    .
    .
    We are IPOB and we are more sophisticated both in media
    intelligence and all over the world…we get our eyes on Jubril
    and he can’t run away….Now Abba Kyari has fall sick and the
    only hospital they can took him is the one in London….hahah
    aha…They playing with the people’s intelligence yet Nigerians
    can’t even speak a word….Is this how you are people are
    going to protect your # Votes …?
    .
    The fear of Nnamdi Kanu is the beginning of wisdom….

    Atiku’s endorsement signaled better things for the highly marginalized region. Most of the infrastructure, appointments, effective and efficient representation, jobs, human empowerment due to this region eluded us.

    BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND NORTHERN CABALS CAN NOT DECEIVE IPOB. Questions Begging for immediate response for we are not fools, we deserve better. Do you know that Nnamdi Kanu said in his life broadcast that, that thing in Assorock is not, the real Buhari Nigerian voted for? , he said his name is Jubril from sudan and that original Buhari was dead and buried in Saudi Arabia and that even Atiku the officially nominated presidential candidate for PDP cannot swear with Quoran that He is not aware without dying under 12hrs. Could this be true??? if not, why did all Nigerian media kept mute in these huge allegations and couldn’t summoned this imposter to clarify or verify if it was true or not and why the presidency couldn’t utter a statement to rebuke all these allegations if otherwise ???? Why should a great nation like Israel allowed Nnamdi Kanu to make such an utterances and even grant him an interview on national TV on Sunday asking him on which kind of sovereign nation he would like to have and yet Nigeria government are yet to respond ???? Why British government never apologise for sending condolence messages to Nigerian government over the death of their president??? Why didn’t Nigerian government compel Britain and world leaders to withdrew their condolence statements???? Why didn’t queen Elizabeth of England presiding over the country that Buhari died in never apologise for her condolence message to Nigerians ??? Why after his meeting with president Donald Trump , Donald Trump call him lifeless man and vow never to set his eye on him and the presidency keep mute without uttering a word????? Can you still remember Rev Fr Mbaka New year broadcast?? in which he uttered that he heared a cry in Assorock and that crying was made for the North, and later around few mouths he came up with another prophecy?? He said that, The person in Assorock is not the Buhari Nigerian voted in that he’s been hijacked , the videos are there. And Do you know that they withheld And hijacked Mbaka Account after that statements???? Do you still remember Fr Mbakaogu latest message that this imposter has to be changed or He will be disgraceed out of Assorock?? . He cried with tears flowing from his two eyes kneeling as he was proclaiming that, Buhari has to go to Vatican to beg for Forgiveness from Pope or go to any of Pope representative in Nigeria and beg for Forgiveness for the blood of Holy men and women sheared under his watch and if he fail to , he said that, we should watch closely on how Buhari impersonator will be disgraced out of office, which is or about suffacing like certificate saga which Nnamdi Kanu said that, it was a means and organised plan for them to disqualified him and secretly return him back to Sudan and replace Atiku Abubakar in exchange hmmmm “Ndi zoo’, are you not smelling something here??? an exposure that’s about to blow is beyond unimaginable let’s keep watching as Nnamdi Kanu has vow to stop him from escaping freely just like that . Why is that, the formal president Buhari who used to travel around the world with his wife Aisha and children suddenly after his return from 3months medical vacation from England as claimed by Lie Mohammed changed and never again had we seen him around his children and wife as usual . The worst part, Aisha distance herself from coming closer to him and do you know why Aisha was kept away from granting interview to media after she said that her husband nolonger the man she married to ??? Why is that, ever since this Imposter took over Assorock, many strange things has been happening in Assorock like rat chasing him away from the office and dead people are been included in his appointments,billions of dollars continuously missing, national borrowing from here and there keep rising despite huge recovery of many ex rooters like Abacha funds, he hunt down any opposition that dare to speak or challenge his leadership , Nigeria economy keep sinking faster than Titanic ship , hunger here and there which Nigeria has never experienced since this fraud Almalgamation and APC his party suddenly became a refuge and All Saint party for all the rooters of public funds and criminals ??? We have many questions begging for answers. The world is watching, the allegations are too heavy and costly to be sweft under carpet. This allegations are too heavy for Nigerians to be ignored The country is sitting on time Bomb ready to blow. All Hail Biafra. We are too smarter for this nonsense only the uneducated Northerner & yorubas can be fooled not Biafras

    Wrong title! Ndigbo did not endorse Atiku. Rather the self appointed igbo leaders without consulting any body endorsed Atiku. May be they and their families that are mostly abroad out of this hell hole will vote Atiku, not of these suffering people of igbo stock in Nigeria.
