<\/p>\nThe group made the call in Owerri on Wednesday in a statement issued by Mr. Osmond Nkeoma, its National Publicity Secretary, after its 5th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.<\/p>\n
The group said the collaboration of both groups will lead to the progress and development of the South East.<\/p>\n
Making reference to Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s statement, urging Igbos not to partake in 2019 elections, the group thanked God for keeping the life of Kanu, however, noting that \u201chis recent declaration had proved, contrary to most unpopular belief, that Ohanaeze Ndigbo has no hand in his travails and sudden disappearance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, therefore, advice Ndi IPOB to toe the line of intelligence and smartness and have a tactical synergy with Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cMovements all over the world that are IPOB in nature are usually involved directly or indirectly with partisan politics,\u201d it said.
\n\u201cThe leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths (Worldwide) still stands on a restructured Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will canvass for and vote for the presidential candidate who buys into our restructuring ideas. We are Igbos; we have a stake in the Nigerian project.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will vote because if we fail to, the election will still hold and Nigeria will continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoycotting the elections will not benefit anyone,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The group further called on the Federal Government to \u201cde-proscribe\u201d IPOB, saying the group had not done anything wrong if compared to the activities of herdsmen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
