I read the thread on the frontpage titled "How Peter Obi killed APC in the east" and the bias is evident in the epistle aimed at making APC and Buhari look bad and Igbos look bad. The truth is that, nobody killed APC in the east because APC never existed there. You can't kill something that barely existed. Apart from Ngige that won a senatorial seat owing to his popularity among his people under the platform of APC, no politician in the east have freshly won an election on the platform. Okorocha's second tenure win was just because he was an incumbebnt and if you argue that it was a win nonetheless, then is means there was no way Peter Obi could have killed APC if Rochas used the platform to bid for a second tenure and btw, he narrowly won the election.

There's no gain saying that APC and Buhari are not popular names in the east and it's not for the malicious reasons that the APC fan stated. I think Buhari and APC's greatest undoing was Jonathan and not whether Fashola deported Igbos or Peter Obi publicizing it. It was because for some reasons, that i can not competely phatom, Igbos had a thing for Jonathan. They believed he loved them, whether rightly or wrongly. Some people say it's because for the first time in decades, the Enugu airport was upgraded to an International airport. Others alluded it to his unquenching quest to make sure the Niger Bridge was done even though it barely even started. There are also those that felt that his appointment for key Igbos in his cabinet was the reasons for his popularity.No forgetting his obvious campaign as a representative of not just the Ijaw and South-South People but Igbos hence, the reason he added "Azikiwe" to his name.

Whatever reasons the Igbos may have had to support Jonathan, whether germaine or selfish is no different from the reasons other parts of Nigeria have always had to vote for one presidential candidate after another. Some myopic people wondered why Igbos could not for the love of the country join the change SLOGAN and vote for Buhari but the same people forgot that it was the same Buhari that almost everybody rejected 3 times previously that all of a sudden became that became the change we've been looking for. What exactly changed. Let, me guess, PR. I was one of those who went out in the scotching sun in summer of 2011 ro vote for Buhari beyond all that were been said about him which includes his Extremist views, hate for Christians, authoritarian disposition and so on which is not different from what mostly Igbos are saying about him. So, why blaming Igbos for saying what everyone has been saying for years unend. Just because this time, he made some new political friends and they hyped him beyond the heavens doesn't mean Igbos must too. Maybe even things were different, Igbos would have supported him and APC. Maybe if Jonathan never existed or was brutal towards Igbos, just maybe they would have supported him.

Like i stated earlier, every region in Nigeria votes selfishly. Even when Southern Nigeria and the middlebelt rejected Buhari in the 3 times he contested, the core north always voted for him. This time the SW voted for him because their Politi9cal Godfather, Tinubu was behind him, so most people in the west that mattered supported him with the APC platform. Maybe if Peter Obi, Sullivan Chime, Arthur Eze or whoever matters these days in the SE joined Okorocha to support Buhari and APC, it will definitely tell in the votes he would have gotten in the SE.

So, dont blame Peter Obi or Fashola for what APC is going through in the East got they never got off on a good footing. They were never born.

The Truth Is That Apc Is A Scam,

Buhari Is A Terrorist

We Dnt Need Him In The South East .

Insightful!

In Addition, APC's a cult formed by desperate power mongers!... as y'all can see, they've initiated lots of peeps up in here!

Afam you dey so?

Ngige have not won any election under APC party. Ngige won election under AC party

Lajet:
Ngige have not won any election under APC party Ngige won election under AC party

Same same.

In the east, It is either PDP or APGA.
even Labour party will floor APC.

Afam is objective as ever and made a valid point.

As unpopular as APC was in Igboland before the elections, APC has become even more unpopular since Buhari was elected. APC is dead in Igboland. As a poster above already said, the only recognised parties in Igboland is PDP and APGA

People forget that building political structures takes time and effort to build d confidence of targeted people enough to support them. It cannot happen overnight especially in areas that are known 'strongholds' of rival parties.

If not for grinding poverty, hunger and subsequent stomach focused campaigns, political parties in Nigeria would be forced to build and propagate ideologies which they stand for and will be judged by. At the end of the day, it will be understood that all are geared towards nation building and there will be no condoning deliberate marginalization or side-lining because some areas didn't vote for a ruling party.

Unfortunately that is not the case here where APC is stupidly fighting to make Nigeria a one party state and to what end?

Flashh:

He already said he don't need you people too in moving his administration forward.

If you like, accept him, if you don't, good as well. But who's crying both offline and online?

all nigerians are crying.

One dollar just banged #300. Lol

Majority makes the decision,the minority is irrelevant has its shown during the last election....even the SS is getting more poltical weight than SE....majority will have their way,the minority wil continue to wail
