Youth Council Worldwide has warned Igbo youths to resist the temptation
to involve themselves in ballot box snatching and vote buying.
Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, president general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council
Worldwide, in a press statement in Abakaliki, called on the youths of
the zone not to toe the path of some Igbo elders who he said have sold
their conscience.
According to him, Ndigbo youths should troop
out en masse and vote the presidential candidate as directed by Igbo
political leaders.
“We must remind our Igbo youths that some Igbo
elders have sold their conscience to the devil and their directives to
Igbo youths are declared null and void, as they only represent their
selfish interest.
“They are after what they will gain personally
against the collective interest of Igbo youths who wallow in abject
poverty because of high rate of unemployment.
“We will align with
the position of southeast governors who are the political leaders of
Ndigbo to decide Igbo voting pattern in the presidential election
holding on Saturday 23rd 2019. We will make it crystal clear that no
other Igbo leadership have the moral right to direct Ndigbo.
“Igbo
youths will do the needful on Saturday. We call on Igbo youths not to
engage in any form of electoral malpractice or snatching of ballot
boxes. We are aware of the ongoing vote buying and efforts by gang of
elders to send gullible youths to their early grave. We will resist any
form of election violence.
“Igbo youths should go out and vote
according to their conscience on Saturday 23rd February presidential
election without fear or favour but vote Igbo interest”, he stated.
