Posted by Abiodun Toyin Emmanuel on October 11, 2019

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council in the Diaspora has promised to raise multi-million-dollar support funds by the end of 2022 to back whoever the youths nominate among the current South-East governors, or former governors as Igbo presidential candidate ahead of 2023 presidential election.

The youths made the disclosure in Aba, Abia State, in a communiqué signed by the council’s President General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and his Secretary, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, at the end of Igbo Youth Day celebration held in Aba Abia State, on Sunday.

According to the youths who set up a national committee to reach out to the prominent leaders and stakeholders including the youth leaders from the six geo-political zones, they said they embarked on the 2023 Igbo Presidency Project based on justice equity and fairness and urged all Igbo presidential aspirants to start activating their contacts towards building bridges across the six-geo political zones of Nigeria.

They also called on all Igbo investors and business moguls to relocate their businesses back home to support the realization of Enyimba Economic City, Aba project as they have mobilized foreign investors from Asia and European countries.

According to them, it is a means of securing their life endeavors not to be threatened under any guise as the foreign investors will create about 200,000 Jobs for Igbos unemployed youths at the commencement of Enyimba Economic City Aba.

They, however, vowed to embark on a heavy protest and civil disobedience in Abuja and all Igbo speaking states against the Minister of Aviation for non-commencement of rehabilitation work at Enugu Airport,

35 days after its closure which they said had infected untold economic hardship on the people and sabotaged the efforts of South-East governors to the successful upgrading of Enugu Airport to full International airport by putting all the night landing facility.
