I was one of those who led from the front for the Igbo Presidency. I called for both the PDP and APC to zone their tickets to the South East or, through consensus, pick an Igbo man from either the South East or South South as the Presidential flag bearer. Somehow, that didn’t happen because, as they say in the game of politics, power is taken, not given, and in the Nigeria context of it, you must work ten times harder.

If the Presidency is for contest alone, the Igbo man will never win it going by our nation’s political structure and identity politics; we don’t have the numbers due to the divide and rule bottleneck in our brand of politics and democracy. Although the Igbos are still the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, however, we have been divided across geopolitical zones, making it impossible for us to agree or come under one umbrella.

With what we learnt from the recent primaries and the build-up to 2023, methinks we should go back to the drawing board and rework our strategy rather than the victimhood approach.

Granted that it’s almost time for the Igbos to produce the next President, which will be a better antidote to heal the civil war memory and renegotiate the Oneness and Unity of the country, however, we must equally acknowledge that we can’t do it without proper planning and preparation.

There's a need for bridge building and important synergy to be re-established with other parts of the country if we must aim for the Presidency, since we were not prepared for 2023.

Many may disagree, but Atiku Abubakar appears to be our shortest path to the presidency if we back him to win.

No offense to our brothers in the Labour Party pushing for the Presidency, but it’s almost impossible to win the Presidency as an underdog and without the major support of other blocs and geopolitical zones.

Peter Obi has done so well in his deceitful campaign. He has proved his mettle and led a new conversation, but then, not enough for him to win, unless he desires to embark on another trial and error and continue the mortgage of ndi Igbo.

It’s nearly impossible for a relatively unknown political party to overtake two major political parties, the ruling and direct opposition parties, to emerge winner in a setting like Nigeria, where the power to decide or call the shots rest with those in office, not social media.

Peter’s ambition may be right and timely, but politically, it is not good enough. His ambition may be getting the support of South Easterners due to the blackmail of the PDP and his campaign of treachery, it’s still not enough to get him the required spread.

Of the 16 years rule of the PDP, the North has had only two (2) years of presidency with Musa Yar’Adua. The South has had much of the PDP with Olusegun Obasanjo’s 8 years and Goodluck Jonathan's 6 years as Presidents; totaling 14 years of Presidency from the South under the People’s Democratic Party. It’s not totally wrong and out of place if the PDP failed to zone Presidency to the South and left the ballot open for all zones to contest.

What we should be interested in now is the next political calculation that will help the Igbo man aim for the presidency in the next 4 - 8 years. Only Atiku Abubakar from the North East seems the shortest route to actualizing Nigeria's President of Igbo extraction. Rather than embark on an ego trip and attempting to prove a point through another trial and error, I believe it will benefit our people in the South East more, should we rally behind the PDP and Atiku Abubakar.

The permutations favor Atiku more than Tinubu’s APC or Peter Obi Labour Party in 2023.

Anyone is at liberty to attribute any claims, but the plain truth here is that the election of 2023 is directly between the PDP and the APC, with others as underdogs.

The Igbos have Atiku Abubakar to build the Igbo Presidency project around him or wait for another 16 years to return to the negotiation table.

This is not the best time to weave sentiment and emotions, but to respond with logical actions.

The South East will support Atiku Abubakar.

So, Atiku has nothing to campaign with again. we are going for Peter Obi, Atiku should get Dubia people to Vote for him, He doesn't face fuel scarcity and bad road we are facing. time to vote for our own Nigeria person

Thank you op for speaking the truth. If APC wins, the east will be relegated politically.

Lol. I’m an Obi supporter. Tinubu and atiku are both retarded and dead. Infant, tinubu and atiku should collabo and contest against Obi. Cos apc and pdp are dead and gone.

Obi is winning at least 24 states.

I pray they get this message of yours. Politics is not about proving a point to one another. We only have PDP and APC.

OP you are a bastard. I didn't even bother to read the trash because the heading says it all

ATIKU the shortest rout seriously

If you want to beg for Atiku, beg directly and stop this blackmail.
Igbo people better not listen to you. They should throw their weight behind Obi.,Negotiate if they want to. Non of the other candidate is guaranteed a win in this coming election. NON!

They are only playing mind games.


Infact Obi is actually leading and the momentum favours him.

The others are banking on rigging.


They should just plan against the primitive rigging. Work on the spiritual aspect where elections are postponed, for power transfer. ( I believe Obi should know about this important one by now) they shouldn't work with date. Rather Work with....

If nothing changes, he will win.

How many of them?, the ones he knows or the ones he can't even account for?
I don't take a man with multiple wife serious dear. Obi has only one son and he is contempted with it and Atiku, he can never get satisfied and notorious in going back to his word. Forget matter my friend. We are obidient. I don't care who's ox is gored as long as I do the right thing. Both candidates violate the law of peaceful coexistence and by the way, you don't just get power , life is all about what you make out it. We are created the way whites are. We can't continue like this. I will keep advocating for Peter obi. Enough is enough, we have to dictate the tune. I don't depend on any politician to make ends meet so if you think I stand to lose or gain in any of them, think twice. All I can gain is having this county under the control of the electerate.
