Pan Igbo organization Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has said that it is not its duty to endorse the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi.

Rather, the organization said it must commend people who have seen the vision in demanding justice and equity by endorsing an Igbo for the seat.

Speaking on Sunday with Journalists, the Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, said the duty of Ohanaeze Ndigbo ended when about 90 percent of Igbos and the majority of other Nigerians keyed into the Ohanaeze’s philosophy of having a President of Igbo extraction.

“The president was major agenda of Ohanaeze led by Prof.George Obiozor and everybody keyed into that philosophy and it has now become an ideology (movement). So, when people are embracing an ideology all you have to do is commend them. It will be childish if we begin to endorse ourselves.

“Igbo President is Ohanaeze’s philosophy, it is our working plan and we are happy that philosophy has become an ideology and a movement that is embraced by all parts of Nigeria.

“We have been thanking people like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Adebayo, Edwin Clark, Sultan of Sokoto, and other people and organizations such as Afenifere, Arewa, for embracing our philosophy and endorsing Peter Obi not for Ohanaeze to endorse Peter Obi. It will be self-glorification to begin to endorse yourself.”

He also noted that it would be wrong for anybody to criticize Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma; his Ebonyi counterpart Dave Umahi and former Abia Governor Senator Orji Kalu for supporting the All Progressives Congress(APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu saying that they are entitled to support the candidate of their party.

He defended the Kalu who declared it was not “feasible” for the Igbos to produce the President in 2023.

He said Senate Chief Whip was entitled to his comment that the Igbos will have to wait “for another time to see
