JOHN Nnia Nwodo, the president general, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has urged southeast people not to relent in voting in the forthcoming general elections. He said Ndigbo who had relocated for the purpose of the election should remain in their places and not travel back to their stations.

In a statement made available to Realnews said: “My dear brothers and sisters, I am aware of the immense hardship the sudden postponement of the 16th February, 2019 election has brought on all of us. This I know is one of the prices we can be called upon to make for independence.  After all, freedom is never secured on a platter of gold. It is a struggle.

“This is our struggle. I therefore urge all Ndigbo who relocated for the purpose of the election to remain in their places and not travel back to their stations, but wait or ensure they come back if they travel, for the Saturday, 23rd February election. A few days wait is better than another four years of uncertainty, hardship and slavery. May the Almighty God safeguard and guide you as you labour to fulfill our collective agreement.”
