The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide reiterated yesterday that the Southeast region will not accept a vice president position in next year’s general election.
Insisting that it is the region’s turn to produce the president, the organisation warned Igbo sons and daughters not to accept to be running mates to candidates from other regions.
They said any such compromise would violate an agreement between Ohanaeze and Igbo leaders.
National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, said Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Igbo leaders had taken a position on the matter.
Obinna warned that anybody who violates the pact would incur the wrath of the land.
An Ohanaeze spokesman told reporters: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo has made it abundantly clear and all the Igbo leaders have resolved that no Igbo, not only the Southeast, should accept the position of the vice president.
“It is extended to the Igbo of the South-South and Middle Belt – Igbo of any kind should not accept the position of vice president.
“That’s the position of Igbo leaders, including Ohanaeze.”
