Senator representing Enugu North, Chukwuka Utazi, has warned politicians
from the South East against contesting in the 2019 presidential election.
Speaking in Abuja, the lawmaker observed that the current political
arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not in support of the
South East producing the next President of Nigeria in 2019.
According to Utazi, “I am not expecting any Igbo person to contest for
president under the PDP platform in 2019.
“Based on fact, the political configuration of the party
will not allow for an Igbo presidency in 2019.
“There is an existing zoning arrangement between the north and the south. It
will be foolhardy for the Igbo to contest in the 2019 presidential election.
“I know that the Igbo have bright chances if the north complete their
terms.”
A 33-year-old man from
Nigeria was found dead under mysterious circumstances near Geddalahalli
on Hennur Road in the early hours of Monday. The brother of the victim,
identified as Chigozie, said he may have been murdered. Chigozie was
found dead near the Railway bridge at Geddalahalli.
The victim, who came to India on a student visa, was doing some business
in the city, according to police. The victim, along with his brother
Nanso, is said to have partied with a group of friends at a house in
Byrathi.
During the party, it is alleged that the brothers and their friends had
an argument over a political development in their country. Police said
both the brothers were allegedly beaten up.
Nanso, who had come in his car, drove to a nearby private hospital and
is said to have taken treatment. Chigozie, who was returning home on his
bike, was found dead near the railway bridge. “Nanso suspects that his
brother could have been killed. However prima facie evidence suggests
that the death could also be due to an accident. The victim could have
skidded and fell from the bike while riding home. It was raining
heavily. But a murder case has been registered based on his brother’s
complaint and investigations are on,” S Girish, DCP (North East) told
BM.
The Kothanur police, investigating the case, said the group of friends
who were partying were discussing about the political turmoil back home
over the formation of a separate state in Nigeria(Biafra)
The discussion led to assault and the brothers were badly beaten up.
