Your Zone Betrayed South-East, Kalu Won't Support Tinubu, Edozie Madu Replies Babafemi

The former Presidential Candidate of the defunct Independent Democrats, ID, Hon.Edozie Madu, has lambasted the South-West and South-South geo-political zones for not supporting the South-East geo-political zone to clinch the 2023 presidential race.

Madu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, stated this while reacting to a a statement by Hon. Jimoh Adewunmi Babafemi, who urged the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to back the presidential ambition of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Babafemi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had pleaded with the Senate Chief Whip to reconsider his decision on Lawan and support his Southern brother and long time ally , Bola Tinubu.


“We are pleading with Orji Kalu to reconsider his decision on Lawan and support his ally Tinubu” He said during an interview


He said some leaders of South-West geo-political zone has met Kalu on three different occasions on the need for his support to Tinubu as the party’s candidate.

According to him, "Kalu is a man you ignore at your own Peril . He has seen it all and that is why we are making every effort to see that he reconsiders his decision.

“Last year , Asiwaju himself visited Kalu in his Asokoro residence and stayed with him for hours on this same issue . I thought they already reached an agreement . But surprisingly he has thrown his weight behind lawan and you can see how it changed the dynamics of the entire politics . We are very confident that Tinubu will win but we want Kalu whose friendship with Tinubu dates years ago to also support him and support us .

“ I can not say that I am disappointed that he is supporting Lawan instead of Asiwaju (Tinubu) because it is his right to take a stand . But I know that With Asiwaju (Tinubu )he is sure of the Senate Presidency . Kalu is a young man who has a very bright future in the country .

“For the sake of stability and unity of the country, power should not be allowed to return to North . Since he is not running for president anymore let him support his bosom friend so they can win together .

Speaking further he said , “ Kalu has deep friendship ties with the South West and also has a lot of Yorubas working for him . It is time he show us that friendship and support Asiwaju for the office of the president.

He revealed that he and others have held meetings with Kalu on three different occasions but he is still unyielding.

“Asiwaju is the most prepared to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 judging by his acceptability.

“He is eminently qualified to lead Nigeria and Kalu knows he will work for the country. We can not risk any other aspirant in the country aside Tinubu."

But Hon. Madu while reacting to the statement on Tuesday morning slammed Tinubu and other presidential aspirants from the South-West and South-South geo-political zones for abandoning their brothers from the South East geo-political zone.

He wondered why Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi and other leaders of the party refused to support the South East geo-political zone which is "badly marginalized".

He commended Senator Kalu for his commitment, doggedness, support and foresight in integrating Ndigbo into mainstream politics by backing the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan.

According to Hon. Madu, "It is better to support the North East geo-political zone in 2023 instead of supporting the South-West and South-South geo-political zones.

"Obviously, the North East is marginalized just like the South East since 1999. I commend Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for backing Lawan and I am in agreement with him. It is either South East or we go back to the North and North East specifically ," he said.

Who is this one?

Sounds angry

Crying of inconsequential cannibal

If don't have a voters card, Please keep your comments to your self

Bitter people from d east

Which time we sign agreement?

We SE are Fulani slaves.
Worship fulani or death

Lol Tinubu is our next Nigeria president.

Can you imagine? This poo and drugs merchant is promising OUK the senate presidency. The same guys that ensured Igbos did not even get the smaller speaker of the house position.

What is the SE doing with senate presidency? What a huge insult.

So after nearly 60 years of not being in power, Tinubu wants to offer Igbos senate presidency. What a joke.

Igbos just have to realise that Tinubu is not for us. He started by undermining GEJ's presidency in 2015. Now he plans on getting the presidency he undermined the south for. It ain't gonna happen.

OUK is about to politically rape BAT

Sophisticated mofos.

So, una been dey codedly beg since while his urchings are here forming Mike Tyson?

These people are pathetic. I'm yet to see what a Yoruba man has over an Igbo that makes him think he can successfully manipulate him.
Igbo have had Senate presidency. Orji will become the VP if Lawan gets the nod, yet you want to give him and his people Senate president.

A position Nnamdi Azikiwe attained in 1960, Dennis Osadebay 1960-1963, Nwafor Orizu 1963 -1966, Evan Enwerem 1999, Chuba Okadigbo 1999–2000, Anyim Pius Anyim 2000-2003, Adolphus Wabara 2003-2005, Ken Nnamani 2005–2007.

You are offering Igbos a position they have successfully occupied serially, and in doing so, validating Yoruba boasting that Igbo cannot preside in Nigeria. Are Igbos going forward or backward?. Is anyone still in doubt regarding the evil intentions of some Yorubas towards their southeastern neighbors?.

Very insolent and unreasonable people. And you're attempting to usurp Igbo man's turn at the helm while insulting him. Una never see anything. Treachery is no man's exclusive right. Two can play that game.

Tinubu is well advised to speak with Peter Obi. Fulani will throw him under the bus in a few.
It's PeterObi2023 or North continues.

Simple!

Its official.....yeebos are dunce motherfucker

That's their stock in trade. They use the psychological fear that Fulanis have for Igbos. They use the Igbo numbers to subliminally scare the Fulanis and gain power. But they then turn around to start spewing their crazy theories that Igbos are 5%ers with no political influence.

That's exactly why I keep writing that Tinubu should now go and grab that power alone without the Igbos. Let us see.

I think people like OUK, are aware of this, and are now completely out for this game that Yorubas have been asking for.

I even want a NEner to become the president to completely nullify the Tinubu supporter's threat of Nigeria breaking up if a northerner emerges as the president. They will totally be demystified. Ka anulu fa ife.

I finally put to bed, I believe two days ago on another thread, the false narrative that Igbos have the lowest voter turnout among the major ethnicities.

Using INEC datasets, I clearly demonstrated that there are more votes in the southeast than southwest. They only segregatedly used 2019 election figures to push their false narratives but refuse to tell the gullible people who swallow their falsehood that there was active voter apathy in the southeast in the 2019 election year as a result of Yoruba treachery in the 2015 elections.

It is not for no reason that Tinubu has been begging Orji Kalu for his recognition. They know these things. They have data analysts on their payroll.

Yoruba has been playing mind games. We knew this all along. But that they are now beginning to believe their own lies is a little worrying, but good for the rest of us.

You people and cry your Zone wey no betray you na him your candidate for PDP see 14 vote na 14 delegates dey ur zone....

Even in clear non-Igbo states, Igbos have an impactful voting potential. In Lagos, the Igbo votes cannot be trifled with. The only immigrant community, more than the Igbos in Lagos, are just the Yorubas. Along with the Yorubas, Igbos also outnumber the real indigenes of Lagos.

In Abuja, Igbo votes can be critical also.

In Rivers state, both the indigenous Igbos of Rivers and the migrant Igbos have a heavy voting impact. e.t.c.

Yorubas have been toying with the wrong dogs, and will hopefully learn a bitter lesson in the next few months, when they realise that a Yoruba man didn't eventually replace Buhari, as they planned.

You're absolutely right. The points you raised are all captured in the submission I made on that thread.
I even went one step further to opine that Igbos are the numerical first in Nigeria's ethnic groups, but that's a discussion for another day and time.

It's that bed-seat for me.



PO has my vote

That was why they used millions of under-aged voters in the 2015 general elections, and yet, they only knocked GEJ out by just about 2 million votes.
This was principally because 3 major ethnic groups ganged up against GEJ i.e Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani.

Igbo was the only major ethnic group in the GEJ column, yet in spite of the under-aged voting that Buhari used, they still didn't travel that far numerically.

It basically means Igbos have a huge population. I daresay Igbos outnumber the other ethnic groups of Nigeria individually

I make bold to state that Igbo is a numerical forerunner in Nigeria's census count, followed by Hausa, then Yoruba. I will wait for someone with the requisite cerebral capacity to challenge this claim so we can bring the facts to the fore.

There is a reason why the rulers of Nigeria have refused to conduct a credible census in Nigeria until date.
