According to Dailypost,The monarchs reached the decision in a meeting, which took place at Okigwe Local Government Area in the state.
This was contained in a communique read by His Royal Majesty, Eze Oliver Ohanwe.
The monarchs also asked the President to support the Igbo to produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023.
The communique read: “We thank the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari for his selfless and dedicated service to the nation, his commitment to ensure common good for all and his unwavering drive for the peace, unity and progress of the country.
“We are completely convinced that the policies and templates of development already laid down by the president in the last three years was based on critical thinking, careful and strategic planning and would catalyse rapid national development in his second term.
“The president was essentially elected on the firm promise to tackle corruption and security.
“This administration has given a lot of fillip to these noble agenda. With the president’s grit and strategic support to the relevant institutions, corruption in our national life has practically reduced by more than 75 per cent.
“He has justified the huge magnitude of the mandate freely given to him in 2015 which cut across ethnic, religious and even patisan lines, having a clear message which is no escape from change and has restored the dignity of our country.
“Buhari has put the economy on the part of sustainable growth, revitalized our ailing institutions and strengthened resolve and determination to ensure that change has really come.
“We the entire members of the Council of Ndi Eze, with our citizens, alongside the overwhelming majority of Nigerians completely align ourselves with the President’s patriotic response to the various calls to seek re-election in 2019.
“We assure Mr. President of our unalloyed support. We stand with him. That finnaly, we urge Mr. President to use his good will and reach to support the Southeast region to produce the next President of Nigeria after completing his second tenure in 2023.”

ReplyDeleteNice speech. But we all know the zone that will betray Nigeria come next election. Igbos are not one of them, he should be speaking to his Yoruba people.
WHERE IS THE EWU CHIDINMA GRACE that wrote this comment. We can all see who is the betrayer here. You must always call Yoruba in your comments. When your so called traditional rulers have collected envelope and sold their souls.
This has nothing to do with Yoruba but the fucking bastards will always drag Yoruba into their business. Fight your battles and leave Yoruba out of it stupid fool
DeleteEndorsement means nothing, it is the actual vote that counts. Buhari got over 50% votes in yorubaland
DeleteImo state never disappoints when it comes to regression. I hail!
ReplyDeleteMtchewwww Aturu sogwara Ewu!!ndi igwe imo state ndo nu o..
ReplyDeletePolitricks 101
ReplyDeleteIf them no endorse,
Rochas will withdraw their licenses and privileges
as "monarchs" and they will be zeros.
It is called coerced endorsement.
I think Rochas is already warming up to be President come 2023... Why won't he mobilised these kangaroo Eze to endorse him. Is the Indi Igbo represented?
ReplyDeleteexactly Stella i was about to say the same words u just wrote up there!am sure Rochas must have threatened them with one or two things.this man will not succeed. God punish devil
ReplyDeleteThis is looking good.. 😂
ReplyDeleteThis man..I know say you go like this kain news.
DeleteIf I hear. How come the picture is showing some people wearing royal caps on one side and others wearing asobi and t-shirts in the other side of the table.
ReplyDeleteRochas should go ahead and be deceiving himself thinking he is deceiving people.
Did I just read over 200 Monarchs? In 1 State alone?
ReplyDeleteI think the word Monarch now has a new meaning
ReplyDeleteLet's assume that the so called monarchs endorsed Buhari ,does it make any difference ? Those warrant chiefs cannot even influence their family members.
ReplyDeleteShameless mofos......efulefu
ReplyDeleteI thank God, we igbos don't have king. Igbo enwe eze. This ones are a ceremonial kings.
ReplyDeleteThey talk about security as if what is going on in Benue, Taraba Nasarawa and Zamfara states are Nollywood movies.
