The Igbo apex socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, said that it has not picked a preferred presidential candidate ahead of the general elections in 2023.

Ohanaeze youths’ South-South Zonal Coordinator, Mr. Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa, made this statement in a press release that he signed and made available to reporters in Owerri on Tuesday.

According to Arthur-Ugwa, if it became necessary, the group would announce its choice of presidential candidate in due course.

He advised members of the organisation especially the youth, to desist from politicizing its activities and seeking financial inducement in the organisation’s name.

He further said that the Ohanaeze’s choice of a presidential candidate would not be influenced by ethnic and religious sentiments but would be strictly on merit, charisma, and capacity of the candidates.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, ably led by our President-General, Prof. George Obiozor, has no preferred presidential candidate yet.

“When it becomes necessary that we choose one and we so do, we’ll make our preferences public.

“We therefore call on members to avoid the temptation to submit to any form of inducement, financial or otherwise in the name of Ohanaeze. This is distasteful as it is unacceptable. As an organisation, our dignity is sacrosanct,” he said.

He noted that prominent Igbo leaders such as the National Women Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mrs Rita Daniels, had also warned youths not to convert the upcoming general elections into a money-making venture.

According to him, anyone found guilty of collecting money on behalf of Ohanaeze would be properly dealt with in line with laid down procedures.
