It is now being rumoured that he would deputize Atiku again in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting through a press statement made available to journalists in Enugu on Wednesday, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike cautioned that Igbo youths would not take it lightly with Obi or any other presidential aspirant from the region who accepts to play a second fiddle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeculation has been rife that Mr. Peter Obi, Okwute Ndigbo has accepted to be Atiku\u2019s running mate and we cannot ignore it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we are sounding a note of warning that neither Obi nor any other Igbo man or woman should jettison this project. They should not accept to be a spare tire any more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo Igbo man should be cajoled out of this race because we are part and parcel of this country. If it is otherwise, this is the time to let us know and we will take our fate in our hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are saying for the umpteenth time that both the APC and the PDP should micro-zone their presidential tickets to the South-East.
