2019 presidency: Ohanaeze youths deny endorsing Atiku/Peter Obi

Okey Nwachukwu, a factional Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths, has denied that the group has endorsed the
Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar and his running mate, Peter Obi.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Umuahia, the Abia State
capital, Nwachukwu called on Nigerians to disregard the purported
endorsement.

According to him, it was the handiwork of impostors, using the name of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo for dubious purposes.

Okechukwu also reminded the public that the youth group was never
consulted on the choice of Obi as running mate, hence there was no way
they could have gone ahead to endorse the duo.

"This is the handiwork of impostors, whom we demand their arrest. We
are open to all presidential candidates from all political parties,
including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for
consultations, insofar as Igbo interest will be protected," part of
the statement read.
