The Igbo Canadian Community Association (ICCA/Umunna) has urged Ndigbo to troop out en masse and participate in the elections and make their votes count.
In a statement issued from Toronto, Canada, by the President of the socio-cultural and political group, Chief Ugochukwu Okoro, through the Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Ahaoma Kanu, the group urged every Igbo man, woman and youth old enough to participate in the election to cast their vote for the Atiku/Obi come Saturday.
“It is time for our people to use their PVCs and reject that party that promised to end terrorism in Nigeria but ended up unleashing terror to our young people in the name of Operation Python Dance; it is time that we reject President Buhari who declared a people exercising their freedom of expression as terrorists whereas he kept a blind eyes to the Miyetti Allah controlled Fulani herdsmen who have killed over 3000 Nigerians including the coordinated attack on our people in Nsukka, Enugu State; it is time we use our PVCs to reject Buhari who did not find any of our people capable enough to be in his administration.
“Let us come together in unity with our votes and kick out the APC who arrested; tortured and killed our brothers and sisters since 2015; it is time to give the boot to a government that has crippled the economy and driven the country into recession with their inadequate economic policies; cluelessness and constant trading of blames; let us through the ballot box remove a President who attacks the judiciary, disrespects the courts and takes unconstitutional means to get his way.
He said the Ndigbo as a progressive people have found out that the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi will meet the yearnings and aspirations of the Ndigbo, and therefore call on Ndigbo to troop out on Saturday and vote for them.
