The leadership of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has listed its criteria for the candidate they will support in the 2019 presidential election.
The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Uche Achi-Okpaga, told Daily Sun, that Ohanaeze would engage all the presidential aspirants on critical issues that affect Igbo people before they decide who Ndigbo would vote for.
Achi-Okpaga specifically mentioned restructuring as a key issue.
“Ohanaeze has been hammering on restructuring and we are resolute about it. We have been clamouring for restructuring.
“And, we have said we will only identify with any candidate who is ready to follow up our case; on restructuring.
“We are not mincing words about it; we have resolved it.
“Anybody who is ready to restructure Nigeria, we will identify with that person irrespective of the political party such a candidate belongs to,” he said.
