Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has asked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, to resign his office following the alleged rift between him and President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group queried the action of Buhari who left for Saudi-Arabia, and later went to London on a private visit without transmitting power to his deputy.
In a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, President General and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, Secretary General, Ohanaeze Ndigboย Youth Council opined that Osinbajo is a good man but would likely not succeed Buhari come 2023.
The statement read in part: โVP Yemi Osibanjo is a good man but unlikely to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, unlike President Goodluck Jonathan, where Jonathan emerged as President after Yaradua. โThis act would unlikely not repeat itself as President Muhammadu Buhari is destined to hand over to the South but not definitely VP Osibanjo, because of the fear that Osibanjo would implement the 2014 Constitutional Conference report and policies that will dwarf Buhariโs main agenda.
โVP Osibanjo should listen to the wisdom of his people, Afenifere and respectfully resign as Vice President and concentrate on his pastoral evangelism which is bigger than Vice President of Nigeria. โOYC is confidence that power will definitely shift to the South, and urges Atiku never to yield to Pressure to battle for 2023 PDP ticket as he should show maturity and reciprocate the gesture of Igbo in 2019 by supporting a Nigerian President of Igbo stock 2023.

As for equity and Justice to reign, South East will definitely be the only zone to be favoured for 2023 Presidency. โIgbo Youths lauds all the statesmen who had lent credence to this rightful clamour for a Nigerian President of Igbo stock.
โMallam Balarabe Musa was right when he said โAll of us should go to the South East and search for a man on the same equal Pedigree like the Great Zik of Africaโ. โOhanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide assures Nigerians that a New Nnamdi Azikwe is currently with us. โWe will surely present the New Zik of Africa at the right time to Nigerians before 2021 December.โ Donโt resign, Yoruba elders tells Osinbajo However, Yoruba Council of Elders has advised Vice President Yemi Osinbajo against resigning his position because of the alleged war against him by a cabal in the Presidency.
