lagonovo:

You nailed it.

The problem with the Igbo agenda as observed over more than 60 years is that it's all about the Yorubas. What have they done to them other than hosting them peacefully?

They lost the war, they blame the Yoruba and not their brutal Northern allies. The agitation against Tinubu who only governed Lagos State 15 years ago is strictly because he is Yoruba. Remove Tinubu from the equation they will still attack the next Yoruba that has strong political structure.

They latched on Osinbajo despite knowing all the limitations of a vice president. They have clear understanding of the role of a vice president yet it doesn't matter. He is Yoruba and must be attacked.

They want the presidency and knowing their weak position in Nigerian politics, yet they keep making careless statements thinking Nigerian politics is like a market association election process.

This stand of their beloved Atikulate is another moment of truth. There will be a solution but some people will have to face the truth and confront it with clear head.

Honor10:


But it happen in '93, isn't it, you will learn a bitter lesson in 2023

danot1030:


You are so uninformed. Go and read about Nigeria politics very well, Yorubas does not owe Igbo anything, Igbos has always played their politics against Yoruba interest.

colestephan86:

If we want to be logical, APC and PDP are not same parties.
The PDP last presidential candidate was a southerner, GEJ. So I believe if they want to go by zoning which is in their faulty construction, power should go to the north.
As for APC they do not have zoning in their construction , so they are free to zone there leadership wherever they want
At least every one can see that atiku is only interested in being called the president of Nigeria full stop and that the PDP as a party has no ideology. It's only a party of power hungry, selfish politicians.

colorsofrainbow:
The only thing I can say is that if Tinubu doesn't want to relinquish the quest for presidency as it is the turn of Southeast,then I see no reason why Atiku cannot contest.

Southwest have had their turn for 8 good years(1999-2007) and VP (2015-2023). So what else do they want when Southeast hasn't had a fair share but they(Southwest) would be the first to attack any Northerner trying to contest.

Southwest will always say and I quote "2023 presidency should come down to the south but we don't want Southeast or Southsouth presidency"

Now who is deceiving who??

In submission,what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If Atiku must not contest, Tinubu or anybody from Southwest has no business vying for the presidential seat.

You can only argue with my submission if you are a hypocrite.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Anago55:
. That's more of the reason why the rest of the sane south (SE/SS aka 5%) will collabo to scuttle such selfish and greedy ambition laced in hypocrisy and wickedness which tend to downgrade and undermine the rest of the south

At least you know for a certain that if the yorubas flies APC ticket come 2023, they will lose the south,that's how powerful and influential igbos have become in the south

Can you bet on it?

Anago55:
. Nigeria of 1993 is no more

The Nigeria of today is more tribally and religiously divided than was obtainable in 1993

Anago55:
. The south south people can call the igbos whatever derogatory names they like but you can not take away the uniformity in their voting pattern. Can you?

Are you betting on it that the APC will lose the south should it field a southwest candidate?

Can we do it?

temitayomie:


Because as an Abakaliki man, you can not speak for the SS.

Anago55:
. Southwest cannot defeat a northerner in the north. Know this and peace will come your way

Jagunlabiodua:
Abiola did just that, same with OBJ Obasanjo Obasanjo and Obasanjo. The truth is The North or the East are not a Match for the West and Yorubas in a Presidential election. Remember You can not win a Federal elections when You fail to win the West.

temitayomie:


While your parents were busy voting for Tofa a northerner in Aba in 1993, the south southerners were voting for Abiola, a Yoruba man.

You have no influence in the South. Only the PDP factor.

And I'm telling you that a northerner will not win a Yoruba man in SS in 2023.

Honor10:


Keep deceiving yourself. It has happened before, it can happen again, just wait!

Anago55:
. Are you betting on it oga?

You are losing the south if APC flies Yoruba candidate

temitayomie:


Go an rest Oga...

You people said more than this in 2015 and 2019. But you always delete your account here after every election year

Chest beating iranu.

Anago55:
If the yorubas cannot givein to a consensus Igbo presidency 2023 as was done to them in 1999,then the north can keep it till eternity

Whatever southern clamour that tend to favour a certain region to the detriment of the rest is selfish one and I call on Ohanaeze ndi Igbo and our cousins in the pandef to jettison such union with usurpers from the west end and play the sophisticated politics as was played by them 2015 and 2019 respectively

cktheluckyman:

Igbos do not have the lowest PVC rate in Nigeria.The amount of Igbo PVCs in Lagos alone is more than the ones even the ones in some SE states

Anago55:
. An Atiku almost defeated Buhari in 2019 safe for some mischievous moves by power that be,it would have been a different ball game

I wonder how you think Tinubu that cannot secure up to 40% of the southern votes will defeat Atiku who is almost certain of 12-14 million votes in the north plus the SS/SE waiting on the wings to repay you guys for the 2015 betrayal

triple996:
Bt I thought atiku is your god, y are cannibals now complaining.
Say no to cannibalism and kpurumiri

Anago55:
. The igbos built the PDP that gave you ticket in 1999 remember?

I am not against southwest being the APC flagbearer but I am certain you guys will lose in the southern part of the country. This I am sure

Go ahead and call us (SE/SS) 5% , we shall see how it goes in 2023

Anago55:
. Are you betting on it oga?

You are losing the south if APC flies Yoruba candidate

wifeesnatcher:



Buhari lost election in southeast and he won, Atiku won in southeast but he didn't
win the election


Gej won southeast in 2015 and he didn't return, educate yourself and stop ranting

Anago55:
. Okay we shall see how it goes

Anago55:
If the yorubas cannot givein to a consensus Igbo presidency 2023 as was done to them in 1999,then the north can keep it till eternity

Mooh247:


Well North is given it to South.... SouthWest in particular

Ibos are just one out of 6 geopolitical zones and one out if 300 ethnic groups, they have the lowest PVC and least active voters of all region

If Ibos want consensus of the South let them tell SouthWest when they ever supported a Yoruba candidate to get supported back by SouthWest


Nnamdi Azikwe favoured Sarduna over Awolowo even when Awolowo won majority seat


You voted for Tofa because of Sylvester Ugoh in 1993 against Abiola

Alex Ekweume contested and loss against Obasanjo that fought and went to prison for Democracy while Ibos were hobnobing with Abacha

2003 while everyone stepped down for Obasanjo's 2nd term.. Rochas and Orji contested PDP primaries, Chuba Okadigbo and Ojuckwu formed alliance with Buhari in ANPP to tackle Obasanjo

1999 Yorubas voted AD,
2003 PDP,
2007 AC (AD faction turned AC)
2011 ACN
2015 APC (ACN merged with CPC)
2019 APC
So by default Yorubas should get rewarded with APC Presidential ticket


Ibos voted PDP in 1999 ( forgetting APGA)
2003 PDP
2007 PDP
2011 PDP
2015 PDP
2019 PDP

Suddenly 2023 they want APC ticket even when they never supported them
