Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has dismissed the purported assassination plot against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n
Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0recalls that Mr. Emma Powerful, the spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had alleged of a plot\u00a0to assassinate Atiku<\/a>\u00a0in the South-East.<\/p>\n However, in a statement issued on Monday by the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he urged Atiku to ignore the alleged plot.<\/p>\n Okwu said there was nothing to warrant the killing of Atiku or anyone else in the South-East, stressing that all the presidential candidates were free to come to the region and present their blueprints to the masses.<\/p>\n He noted that \u201cWe received with concern the statement credited to IPOB, wherein they alleged that there was a plot to assassinate the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the South-East.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to make it clear that no such plot exists anywhere in Igboland. Ndigbo are known for their hospitality and this has not changed.<\/p>\n \u201cThe PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has an Igbo man, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate for the election. He is also an in-law to Ndigbo and should therefore feel free to come to the South-East for his campaign any day any time.\u201d<\/p>\n Okwu cautioned against any action or statement that would create unnecessary tension in the South-East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has dismissed the purported assassination plot against the Peoples<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23212,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",765,565,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1-300x222.jpg",300,222,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",640,473,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",640,473,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",765,565,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",765,565,false],"elegant-magazine-featured":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",765,565,false],"elegant-magazine-medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",515,380,false],"elegant-magazine-medium-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",271,200,false],"elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Atiku-Ihedioha-1.jpg",50,37,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39170"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39171,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39170\/revisions\/39171"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
