Ebonyi State Elders' Council has pledged their support for the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Ahmed Bola Asiwaju Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election in 2023. The council members congratulated the National Executive Council (NEC) of the APC for conducting a free and fair primary election.
The council in a video urged all Igbos in Southeast to vote massively for Bola Asiwaju Tinubu in 2023, adding that they will no longer be relegated to the background again. Revealing in a video why they urged the Igbos to support Asiwaju Tinubu, the council members said APC delegates from Imo, Anambra, Abia and Enugu betrayed Governor David Umahi in the party's primary election. They said delegates from Ebonyi State supported David Umahi, but delegates from the other four states who initially agreed to support Southeast presidency betrayed their kits and kin at the time David Umahi needed them.
The council members said David Umahi and Ebonyi State delegates played a role in ensuring that Igbos are not treated as second-class citizens in Nigeria and that since their brothers from other Southeastern states betrayed them, they are calling on Igbos to vote massively for Bola Asiwaju Tinubu.
There is no doubt that Ohanaeze Ndigbo have been clamoring for Igbo Presidency even before the conduct of APC primary election. Ebonyi elders have urged Igbos in this video to vote for Bola Asiwaju Tinubu because David Umahi was betrayed. But come to think of it, Peter Obi is from Southeast, why is he not supported by Ebonyi elders?

Only a fool will make this kind of sweeping conclusions in SE based on the bazaar called primaries conducted by APC and PDP, where Tinubu reportedly offered $35000 USD per delegate while Atiku offered $25000 USD per delegate to win their nominations. Unless these fools from Ebonyi State are saying that Tinubu should pay eat vote it received from SE for 35000 USD during the 2023 presidential election, then they can be rightly wrong in their sweeping conclusions on SE, but I know Tinubu cannot afford it, so either way these fools from Ebonyi State are foolish fools.
