2019: The Poisoned Apple Dangling Before Igbos - Emperor Ogbonna by nku5: 12:44pm On Apr 11, 2018
THE POISONED APPLE DANGLED BEFORE THE IGBOS

The Secretary to the Govt of the Federation Mr Boss Mustapha, yesterday told the Ebonyi state delegates of the APC that supporting Buhari's re-election is the shortest way to Igbo presidency and that they should go home and tell the south easterners to support the president to return in 2019.

After reading what transpired in Abuja, I asked myself the way forward for the Igbos as a nation. First of all, has producing the president favoured any people in Nigeria?
The north has been in power for a longer period of time more than any region since independence, yet the north is the most backward region in Nigeria, with diseases, illiteracy, insecurity, hunger and religious intolerance ravaging the region.

The presidency of Obasanjo did not confer any special advantage to the people of Ogun state. Otueke did not become a haven when Jonathan was the president. There is no evidence that Daura or even the entire Katsina state has become better just because Buhari is the president.

The way the Nigerian presidency is structured, being a
president or producing a president does not confer any
special benefit to any region. Although it is true that a
president can use his powers to cause a development to
his zone, but in Nigeria, how much development can a
president unlawfully corner to his region without procuring the wrath of other regions?
The truth is that this silent promise to the Igbos which has no seal of official pronouncement, is to me, the kind of promise a man makes to a woman he wants to sleep with. Once the man succeeds in what he wants to do, he forgets the promise. If the woman tries to make him to
keep his promise, he will tell the woman that he can't even remember when he made the promise.
Any Igbo person who believes that the APC peopled by the likes of Tinubu, Amaechi, Buhari etc will present the
presidency to the Igbos after the tenure of Buhari when the Igbos are clearly a minority in the APC, did not suck the breast of an Igbo woman. Those who sucked the breast of Igbo women as their mothers can never be deceived by such fake promise.

Also, there is what we call character evidence. Buhari and the APC have never kept any of their electoral promises. If we judge them by their character, why should we believe that they will keep this promise ( if in fact there was any promise binding at all) after the tenure of Buhari? The truth is that such a promise is not likely to be kept. Also, is Buhari and the APC feudal lords that can give the presidency to anyone they wish?
Does the Nigerian president or the party in power have the power to give the presidency to whoever they desire? If the president and his party have that power, why did Jonathan lose the election despite the fact that he and his party were in power?

The truth and fact is that for anyone to be a president, he
needs the cooperation of at least five geopolitical zones in Nigeria to do that and if the APC fields Igbo candidate and the regions in Nigeria reject the candidate, the Igbo presidency will remain a pipe dream. We also forget the fact that the Igbos may not vote that candidate. It happened during the time of Obasanjo when most people of the South West chose not to vote for him.

What exactly do the Igbos want?

The truth is that most igbos are divided into two thin and
blurred lines: those who want an independent country of
Biafra and those who want the country to be restructured so the regions can stand and develop on their own without depending on the federal govt for survival.

Although the idea of an Igbo presidency is not unwelcome in the south east, it is not the solution to the problem of the people of the region and anyone who is using it to entice, lure, or manipulate the Igbos into voting to continue the most incompetent, sectional and unproductive govt of Muhammadu Buhari should know that majority of Igbos are too intelligent to fall for that prank.

Is like they believe that they are likely to loose vote from south west,north central and so they want to lobby the "insignificant few" (south east) for vote.

South east will not vote Buhari.If you like talk from now till tomorrow.why have they suddenly decided to talk nicely to south east?

South West will surely vote for Buhari as usual. They KNOW they have lost north-central totally so they are desperate to get more from the east to balance up.

Only a very stupid Igbo man will be thinking about Igbo Presidency when the same Presidency did not benefit those who held it in the past.

if elections are won on social media, i dont think APC will be in existence today how much more of producing the president. politics goes beyond ranting, every good politician knows the need of every region and they come to you with a promise of making it available to you. when the real politics sets in many Igbos will buy this fake drug that is been advertised today, the yorubas will equally give him a block vote with the plan of there son succeeding him, Majority of the northerners out of self pity and brotherly mugu will still vote for him.
some days back i sat inside my toilet(fountain of Knowledge) to analyze the possibility of PMBs failure come 2019, but after holistic thinking devoid of ethnicity and religious sentiments i breath out and said only God can stop him because all political odds favor him.
if you talk about structure he has the structure because he has 24 governors who as still on his side today, mind you majority of those Governors are ruthless when it come to political crushing (Rigging), in few days to come he will increase the minimum wage which will make many civil servants settle for him. I believe he has secured the funds to muzzle the opposition, with the formation of the OBJ coalition it is no longer PDP VS APC, the 3rd force will split the votes.

It is not an issue of Buhari may win, I suspect the man will win in 2019. North and South West will vote heavily for him again

The issue is that APC is flying a kite that Igbos should vote Buhari in 2019 so they can benefit from a turn by turn arrangement where an Igbo president can emerge as APC candidate in 2023. We say tufiakwa! Even if Buhari wins our votes will not be part of it.

my brother it is quite unfortunate that many people will buy the poisoned chalice and still vote for him, politics is a game won by propaganda, a game won by promising unrealistic substance. if youre in doubt as big and civilized as USA they still bought the gibberish sold to them by Trump.

Thanks for the writeup. I know the mainstream Igbo people are too intelligent to fall for this trick. They are not like the 'Nothingners' who would rather have their man in power than have a good and quality life. They've been in power more than any other regions yet they have nothing to show for it, hence Nothingners!
