Igbo Elders Consultative Forum (IECF), also known as Ime-obi Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Friday vowed to support the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who they described as a “true unified.”
They also reiterated their call on President Muhammadu Bubari to release the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, in the interest of peace in the country, especially the South East region.
Briefing journalists in Abuja, the Forum’s chairman and former Anambra governor, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, stated that an Obi presidency in 2023 will put an end to separatist agitations by different groups in the country.
Ezeife said: “We before now agreed in the Southern and Middle Belt Forum to call all the candidates from the southeast, interview them and adopt one person. But that has been overtaken by events. If you look at the candidates from A to Z, you find out that there is one from the southeast who is everybody’s candidate.
“He is the true unifier in Nigeria because he is someone who will banish poverty, insecurity, and all the negatives associated with Nigeria. That person is Peter Obi and he is the person whom all of us will support.”
