well...here is another way of looking at it...if the sw actually cared about southern presidency, why didnt they join the se and ss to vote gej in 2015? Why did they vote a notherner?

See bro...the north will be in power for a very very very long time bro...cos even if pdp doesnt win in 2019, they will still field a nothener in 2023 to defeat ur thiefñubu

NonsoWow:
I am Igbo and many of us share this thought.

Why didn't their Northerner defeat Obasanjo in 2003? Why didn't their Northerner defeat Jonathan in 2011?

eggzatly....cos their northerner didnt run under a national party with strong southern presence till 2015. Pdp and apc are now national parties...anyone dat is south vs north will produce a northern victory....unless the southern dude is another abiola....abiola is dead however

Now the game is on.

I would have believed all your threat, if you were from the Igbo tribe or the Fulani tribe, but history has taught me that the only tribe that prefer a living goat (bondage) to a dead lion (freedom) is you guys





.....so I will pass, na only mouth you and your brothers get, when the time come, you and your brothers will be singing another tunes just to please buhari so that he can spare you all

1 Igbo man out of the 8 million registered voters in the SE. BTW, we don't do UPP in the east.

Chekwas Okorie we all know is a complete dullard that probably was fathered by the same man as Buhari. Guess he wants to be relevant now and see what will come his way. A fool of our time. Keep dreaming animal

CilicMarin:


After 2015, PDP will effectively relegated as a Regional party.

We need a southern agenda just like the north have a northern agenda.let all southerners unite and re-elect buhari to finish his tenure so that power will come bck to the south quickly.if the east votes atiku massively and buhari wins,power will be zoned to ss/se in 2023.southerners unite.

Captainrambo2:
snd yet uou deny bubu did not enslave you

Hypocrite

kodded:
and you think that Buhari will relinquish power after that 4 years ?

Rilwayne001:


8million registered voters, how many collected PVC? Probably, 2million. Lol. Besides I thought the east was all about Biafra or nothing? Is this want Nnamdi Kanu and his zombie supporters wanted?

@the attached picture, I don't see any reason why Buhari will ever show respect to Atiku in that manner. Probably he was just about sitting down back or was about getting up. Buhari is older than him don't forget.

By Yinka Ajayi National Chairman of the United Progressive Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie, in this interview, outlines why the South-East and South-West should back President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election and speed up power shift to the South among other national issues.



Nigeria is still a work in progress but it’s unfortunate that we are in election mood. While those in government are busy convincing Nigerians that they have done    

On President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war Nobody can take that from them because they were able to fight the anti-corruption war headlong.

But for some to call the anti-corruption war of this administration a selective fight is illogical. Because the issue of fraud and corruption does not expire. It’s a matter that lasts over time. And a government that is serious has to start from somewhere. If it’s one sided, who will they arrest, is it other innocent Nigerians or Chekwas Okorie who had never gone near government resources or treasury?

And some particular Nigerians had access to the treasury for 16 good years. If they start from there and another government comes to power, they can continue from there. I always remind those that say anti-corruption war is one-sided of an Igbo proverb that says: A River can only drown somebody whose feet it has seen. If you did not go near the river, how can it drown you? Are they saying if they stole and the other people stole, it should be cancelled? It’s only a corrupt man that will say that. They are not even ashamed that they had 16 years to rule and they messed the whole country up. They laid the foundation for recession.

Before I sound like the ruling party spokesperson, everybody knows that they had a higher source of revenue, by the time this government came, we had less than 7billion dollars in foreign reserve now we are talking about 42 to 46 billion in our foreign reserves.

Despite the situation we have found ourselves, there have been indications of prudence in resource management.

Nobody who will say agriculture has not received the kind of boost we are beginning to experience more certain growth and genuine infrastructural development.

The Buhari’s administration attitude not to cancel contracts approved by the previous government because his government didn’t award them, and encouraging contractors to go back to site is unprecedented.

We are now beginning to look at railway as a source of transportation; Agriculture has a quantum leap in development and is affecting Urban-Rural migration positively.

So things may not be automatic but things are looking up. For us in UPP, we decided not to field a presidential candidate so that we can use this period to consolidate and build a solid structure for 2023.     So for me, the Buhari administration is good to go for second term because there is nothing in PDP that Nigerians are missing that will make me want them to come back. I can live with another four years of Buhari but may not be able to endure another eight years of PDP.

The reason is the person running under PDP moral baggage is known, his pasts are known and we know what they did with the opportunity they had when they were in power for 16 years. So a Leopard does not change its spots. The saying that the devil you know is better than the angels you don’t know is true.

In a situation where there are two devils, you can choose the better devil. To Nigerians that are ethnic minded, they are faced with two Fulani, the APC Fulani and the PDP Fulani. It is left for you to choose your own Fulani.

For me, Buhari has an uncompleted job and the way he is going is a path of progress.

It is for Nigerians to decide what they want but I personally will prefer another four years of Buhari before power shift to the South-West or South-East, than another eight years of another Fulani with the same spot and if you add it to the previous nightmare of the PDP it will be too much for Nigerians to bear.

Just 8 million and unna de make noise like this, 3 LG for Lag alone don cover unna.

that 1 Igbo man speaks plenty sense.. see my brother it’s fulani fulani.. igbos are suppose to get presidency in 2023 but come 2023(if pdp wins 2019), they will tell you an Igbo man is Vice President already, let Atiku continue and so the circle will go on and you all will be screaming marginalization! do not miss this chance oh don’t settle for vice when you can have president! A vote for Buhari brings us closer to the dream of having an Igbo President!

BeautifulMind2:

You are not from east, even if you are, you belong to 5% group, that voted for him in 2015, Chewas Okoli has no political value in Southeast, I know his house at Independence Layout Enugu, when he contested for president his driver named Smart voted against him, he didn't even get up to 10 votes, when we are playing ball in his street, we don't notice his presence when ever his drive by.

IamAtikulate:

In case you don't know, the first thing PDP would do in 2019 is to dismantle APC from the root. This is a mistake APC made and PDP would never.

The second thing is to appoint an Igbo Man as INEC Chair to head PDP's re-election. After Atiku, the ticket is coming South and if it happens, SE would grab it.

Peter Obi can never lose that election.

We would rather take our chance with the North that have shown commitment to restructure the country, but should SW betray the Handshake Across the Niger Pact, they would pay for it.
