Balarabe Musa, a former governor of Kaduna, says the presidency should be donated to the Igbo in 2019.

In an interview with The Sun, Musa said it would be a donation because those elected into the office of president “have nothing to do with the votes of the people”.

The former governor said the south-east has not produced a president because the Igbo bourgeoisie are more competitive than that of the north and south put together.

“The north has been in power for so many times. Even out of 10 former presidents, I think seven are from the north, one from the south-west, and one from south-south, and none from the south-east, why none from the south-east?” Musa asked

“It is because of the fear of northern oligarchy and the south-west bourgeoisie, because the Igbo bourgeoisie is republican and more competitive than the northern and southern bourgeoisie? Why not comply with national character and donate the presidency, because it is a donation, this time to the Igbo. It is donation because it has nothing to do with the votes of the people.

“Igbo are more Nigerian than the north or south-west in terms of their commitments to the unity of Nigeria. And this is right from 1950s. They are more committed to the Nigeria project. Let’s even talk of tribe; the Igbo are more committed to national unity.

“The Igbo are more competitive than the Hausa and the Yoruba. The Hausa and Yoruba bourgeoisie are afraid of this, in particular when there is so much to share in Nigeria. They are afraid of the Igbo because they are not competitive. Igbo are more competitive because they don’t have inhibition.”

He also described the letters by ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida, former military president, to President Muhammadu Buhari as “stupid”.

“Nobody should be deceived. They have not performed better than Buhari. In what way have any of them performed better than Buhari. In fact, you can say Buhari is less exposed to so many things like corruption and so on,” Musa said.

I agree

The zoogeria will continue to remain a shithole till Igbo man is made the president

Oga, we are not after the presidency, what a normal igbo man needs is a condusive and peaceful environment to conduct his/her business and I am sure that the current structure of Nigeria will not be able to provide that. Thats why an average igbo man wants a restructured Nigeria or biafra!



As far as I'm concerned North can keep on producing presidents but good governance is what we need or we are better off with biafra

It must be an Anambra indigene or else let the north keep it. Okoroawusa cannot rule over us.

Pandering at it's most ridiculous. They want out of the federation now suddenly they are the most competitive!

Well, good for them, but personally I've since lost interest in both Igbo presidency and Nigeria

Igbo should Take this Balarabe Musa And send Us Okorocha
I heard they like to do business

If igbo he means Okorocha hells no. If he means one of our right thinking sons like charles soludo then yes

Another deceit to stem the momentum of Biafran realization.

No Igbo man who have studied nigeria very well will be fooled by this. Nothing can salvage the sinking zoo even if you offer to make 100 Igbo men presidents at the same time.

Don't play politics with Igbo.
Just kick Buhari out and bring someone else of northern extraction that love Nigeria to take over.

Anything but Buhari.

No. Just because The Fulanis by their shameless greed have now failed, the Yorubas, the Ijaws, the Ortom's Tivs etc should go and commit suicide?
