PRESIDENTIAL POLL: Jonathan Loses Bid To Get Igbo Bloc Votes by 1LRNZH: 11:04pm On Mar 22, 2015
ENUGU — With five days to the presidential election, fresh indications emerged, yesterday, that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, may have lost ground for a bloc vote in the South East geo-political zone.

This is even as the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, endorsed Jonathan which had received the bashing of groups and individuals across the Igbo nation.

Speaking on last Friday’s endorsement of All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate,General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) by Igbo leaders in the 19 northern states and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, under the aegis of Igbo Delegates Assembly, IDA,urging him to rescue the country from being run aground by Jonathan.

The party’s spokesperson, South East, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said in a statement: “Ndigbo should not make the mistake of putting all their eggs in one basket.
“With IDA’s endorsement, it means Ndigbo will be part of the victory squad which was what the late Rt. Hon. Chuba Okadigbo predicted in 2002, that Buhari would not only spearhead a coalition to stop one party’s system in our dear country, but would fix a broken Nigeria.

“The Yoruba are 60-40 per cent and the Hausas are 80-20 per cent, in support of Buhari and Jonathan respectively. Why should Ndigbo support Jonathan 100 per cent? Is it not a gross error?


“It will be recalled that the IDA endorsed President Jonathan in 2011, hoping to get fresh air, only to get hot air.”

Op, forget that man. He's a frustrated man. He's not known in Igbo land. In Anambra state, APC doesn't exist. In Abia, APC deputy governor flag bearer dumped APC for PDP, In Ebonyi it's 100% for PDP, in Enugu, APC doesnt exist and in Imo state, PDP is giving APC a hard fight.. What happened in Rivers tonight will happen in Imo state by wednesday.

Buhari doesn't even need outright win in any SE state. He will surely get the required 25% in few of the SS/SE states.

What this type of endorsement does is to help the General win Abuja and other 19 northern states more convincingly.

Exactly what I was going to type. GMB only needs to stop GEJ from getting bloc votes in the SE and SS. He doesn't need to win.
There is no rational reason to argue to another GEJ presidency and even Ndi Igbo are intelligent enough to discern.

Ndigbo must keep an open mind in this election. Whoever wins, life continues. A Buhari's victory will benefit Ndigbo the most. If the system of government is working fine, we all will have a level playing ground to develop and grow.

Nigerians want Change and a positive Change we will get. Sai Buhari.

The party’s spokesperson, South East, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said in a statement

What else would an APC spokesman say? Meanwhile in Buhari's home town of Daura, GEJ has been made the Dan Maiwa of Daura.

Lets hope Buhari garner 55% in his home town, a feat he is yet to accomplish.

Buhari's 25% in SE sure pass. cheesy I bet the igbos are not happy about being left out of GEJ'S dollar spree and will respond via some protest votes. GEJ has obviously taken Ndigbo for granted.

You actually believe 1 out of 4 people will vote Buhari in the SE? I honestly doubt that.

Arrant nonsense from Osita Okechukwu. This is a subtle threat and it has no place in politics. Let's assume for a second that Buhari wins, and Ndigbo did not give him 25%, what will he do that Ndigbo have not seen since 1970?

This is absolutely a stupid statement for God's sake! What is wrong with this primitive people masquerading as politicians?

Buhari has in the past denied the South East valuable infrastructure when he was in uniform and many more without regrets. Or is he this time going to withhold the federal allocation due to the states in the SE or what? So what is the basis for all these threats.

Ndigbo are renowned survivalists and will as usual out live a Buhari presidency. No matter what, they'll still maintain their commercial and economic pride in Nigeria. But, before then, let Buhari win the election first.

Majority of the people are for Jonathan and it's not going to change in the next 5 days.
