The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Nidigbo yesterday failed to endorse President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election come 2015.
Although the motion for the adoption of President Jonathan was moved at the meeting, it was shut down by majority of Igbo leaders.
Speaking with newsmen, Senator Chris Ngige, representing Anambra central senatorial zone said,”we have agreed to insulate Ohaneze from partisan politics.
“We will support no presidential candidate. We will be neutral because Ohaneze is made of people from diverse political parties. People who belong to parties should go their parties and canvass for their own candidates. They can talk to Nigerians from their own political parties and not from Ohanaeze.
“They will be doing so from the standpoint of their party and not from Ohanaeze. The endorsement will not be obtainable. That is our agreement.”
