The Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has appealed to Northerners to pledge their allegiance to them ahead of the 2023 elections.
The group made the plea during a meeting with the national president of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Yerima Shettima.
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, president of the OYC, stressed that the importance of the support from Northerners to help in achieving the 2023 presidency.
He advised the North to look at the capabilities of the individuals and not the region they are from while also admitting that they are aware the Northerners are the king makers of the country.
He said: “We are here to beg northerners to support Igbo to get the 2023 presidency. We are begging the North to look at individual competence and not the region.
“We are begging the North to give us the opportunity. You should help us because we know that the North plays the role of kingmaker in politics of this country. We are here to ask you to support an Igbo man for the presidency. There should be no more abusive words between North and South East as we used to read on pages of newspapers.
