The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, on Friday, asked Nigerians of Igbo extraction to “show their annoyance” to President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the 2023 polls.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Ugochinyere was reacting to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), despite court orders for his freedom.
Recall that a Court of Appeal, Abuja, had discharged Kanu.
Similarly, a Federal High Court, Umuahia, Abia, asked the FG to return the IPOB Leader to Kenya where he was arrested.
“This government’s action is an affront to Igbos, especially our traditional and religious leaders who have approached Buhari on Kanu’s issue many times, with him insisting that the court will be allowed to handle the case.
“This hate and disrespect for the Igbos by the President and his government should not be allowed to continue without the Igbos replying in a manner that will show their annoyance.
“I therefore call on all Igbos to reply Buhari in the same coin by rejecting all APC candidates at all levels at the poll,” Ugochinyere’s statement reads in part.
