The Igbo National Council, INC, has demanded that the position of the Vice President, currently occupied by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (South West) be given to an Igbo man if President Muhammdu Buhari truely values the supports of the people of the South East in the next election.

This followed the proposed plan for President Buhari to visit Southeast states.

In a statement in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the INC President, Chilos Godsent, said it was the only way the ruling party could get the votes of the people of the region in the 2019 general elections.

According to Godsent, under the All Progressives Congress, APC, the region has been deliberately marginalized.

The statement read, “The Igbo National Council INC has long x-rayed the performances of PMB and also the fulfillment of their campaign promises to Southeast region.

“The INC is of the view that the PMB-led federal government has abysmally failed the Southeast due to marginalization of the zone by the government.
“Consequently, INC’s condition for the South East to support PMB for second term is that APC should zone its Vice President ticket to South East.”

Southeast tink tank, VP Osinbajo have not said he will not contest second term with the President nor the President said he would not with the VP, so, why this request?

Very very unintelligent.

Politics isn't played like this.

With due respect to the office of the Vice President, it's probably the most useless office to occupy most especially when the President is active. VP Osinbajo became active only because PMB became incapacitated.

What the Igbo wants is the office of the President. By asking for the VP slot in 2019, they're trying to reposition themselves towards claiming the Presidency in 2023. We all know that in 2023, the Presidency comes to the south and if they occupy the VP office, it would be alot easier to lobby for office of the president.

I guess it's a smart move if they succeed but they'd have created more enemies in the SW, besides both region never agree politically. At the same time, I doubt PMB and APC would accept such arrangement.

If it is smart move as you think, they are likely to fail because they cannot ask Buhari to dump Osinbajo for them, it may not happen, not even in the dream. They should think of some thing else.

and even sef we agree...which igbo una wan field as president??....una no even like una own sef...fight will break out between the igbos,lies,counter lies.....una wahala too much.....

and i ask again....which igbo una want us to vote to be president??...??...

How will that improve the situation in the south east?

Has Kwara state improved because Osinbajo is the VP?

Is the north not exactly the same as it was 5 years ago, despite Buhari being in office?

Igbos 5% electoral support is irrelevant, with the 99% support they gave to Jonathan he still lost the election even as an incumbent.
