One news, three front line pages smh for zombies
Let me educate you people a little.
In Igboland, govs don't tell people what to do because the Igbo person look up to nobody but God (if you doubt me ask Rochas why Buhari lost IMO state yet APC won govnership). Hence we the South east people will vote massively for Atiku/Obi come 2019.
Please stop wasting your time, create topics that will market your Lord and Savior Buhari instead of wasting time on the rancour by a few irrelevant govs.

This Una delusion of grandeur is nothing short of comical. smiley ...Jonathan won in SW in 2011 but ACN cleared ALL other elective positions, there is nothing special in this....

Anyone listening to y'all grandstanding will almost believe the ramblings as being gospel... The anti Buhari /Fulani hate was started by your elites who knew (right) that they could not influence him to allow them free rein in his goverment...

Don't be smart by half bro. We are talking of 2015 when the North felt they deserve to complete yaradua tenure and are hell bent on cringing to power and you are talking of other elections you and I already know the outcome even before the election. Buhari /Kalabari would have won 2015 election. FACT

It took me awhile to read & interprete into understanding what you are asking ..
Before 2015 ,,buhari contested again these time with tunde bakare (sw) yet he losed.. so definitely in 2015 is victory wouldnt be just becos of the north but primarily becos he was in the right alliance, he met someone that everything he touches amounts to success ,i think God made it so.
You are just missing things up the only time the north could av been hell bent on completing yaradua tenure was 2011, yet obasanjo stood and insisted it jonathan for president ,, infact that should av optimised the chances of buhari then .. so why did the north still vote jonathan over buhari.
Buhari won jonathan just becos nigerians asides ipob nation were collectively tired of jonathan weakling & overlook on corruption ,the only alternative was just buhari, fortunately he was in the right cliq @ the right time.
If the north where hell bentin 2015, jonathan will not pull vote that much from the northern region ... bro which ever way you wana play@ history as answered it all

However, I think the Igbos deserves more than what they have now from this country.
In my assessment Igbos are the true one Nigerian project... shocked

I agree, the disunity among the Igbos is disgusting, but it is a fact. A historical fact.

Only stupid people will disagree with a fact, without stating a superior argument. If the truth bothers you so much, there are rivers where you could properly drown yourself. Your whole comment displays nothing but unmatched stupidity.

At the point where we are, Igbos need to speak with one voice, and support each other, and infighting whittles down our political influence.
Everyone agrees that Obi is one of the best candidates from the East to fill that position, and he has support even from the SW, having a clean track record and capabilities to govern, and we can after he has proved himself in that position, support him for the presidency in the next political season. We need to be strategic and stop self deceit. It is an opportunity towards showing the world what we are capable of.

It is everywhere, I'm referring to your first line. not just Igbos... most politicians think, that not consulting them for every single decision means you're belittling them. Take Ambodes wife saga with the church chaplain for instance.

Heck, Tinubu and co refused to support the Yoruba presidents of houses of assembly and representatives. Is Tinubu Igbo?
I know that humanity & vanity re like 5 & 6. But it seems Igboland is a capital of vanity. For instance, have u noticed that any position zoned to SE always generates so much in-fighting that attracts nationwide public attention? Like senate president, PDP chair & now prezy running mate. From the kind of person Buhari is, u can be certain he consulted no more than Tinubu in choosing Osinbajo. Osinbajo wasn't a quarter as prominent in Yorubaland then as Obi now is in Igboland. But, did any SW gov or Afenifere chieftain complain? A word is enough for a wise.

Sunnyflex:

The usage of the word gift is not appropriate because the Igbo are part of Nigeria and have the constitutional right to participate in politics.

May I also, inform you that, it's not a platter of Gold that a person from SE was chosen as a running mate to Atiku. The APC has Osibanja as a vice, already, a man from SW.
By political equilibrium, a South East should also emerge as Vice in 2019 presidential election.

It's not a big deal if a man from SE is chosen as running to Atiku. It's the political or zoning balancing, by political analysis.

Atiku is not winning anywhere. You guys should stop raising your hopes. I see the Biafra Agitation being resuscitated next year. You igbos have serious problems coupled with delusions of grandeur.

You seem not to understand how other Nigerians view you. In all these, the only person I pity is Atiku because he deserves to be President but he blew it by his association with the igbos. He has effortlessly succeeded in earning the enmity of Hausas and Yorubas with just masterstroke.

He's not destined to be Nigeria's President and that is very sad.

A meeting of leaders of the South-east in Enugu has ended in deadlock, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The meeting was hastily convened on Saturday following the announcement of ex-governor Peter Obi of Anambra State as the running mate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Friday

The meeting had in attendance PDP governors and legislators from the South-east and other eminent members of the party from the zone.

Held at the Enugu home of Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, the meeting ended without any resolution regarding the nomination of Mr Obi.

In attendance were governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, David Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu of Enugu, Ebonyi, and Abia states respectively.

After more than one hour of deliberations, they did not reject or accept Mr Obi’s nomination.

Briefing reporters on the outcome, Mr Umahi said the leaders of the zone were not consulted before the said nomination.

Mr Umahi, who is also the chairman of the South-east Governors Forum, said Mr Abubakar would meet with South-east leaders over the choice of his running mate.

The governor said the meeting of South-east PDP stakeholders was to brainstorm on the choice of the former governor of Anambra State as Mr Abubakar’s running mate.

He said both PDP governors in the zone and other stakeholders were shocked over the news of a vice presidential slot given to Ndigbo whereas no formal notice to that effect was given.

Mr Umahi said Mr Abubakar sent in a message during their meeting informing them that he was out of the country for a short period.

He said he pleaded with them to remain calm that he would be coming down to the zone to dialogue with the leaders.

“We saw news flying up and down saying that our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has picked a running mate from the zone,” Mr Umahi said.

“We were shocked because we were not consulted. While we were meeting, Atiku sent message that he travelled out of the country for a short period. He promised to come down and meet with South-east leaders.”

The Zonal Vice chairman of PDP, Augustine Umahi, said the leaders of the party in the zone saw the news of Mr Obi’s nomination as the PDP’s running mate on social media.

“Our leaders are saying that we are not yet aware that such a thing (Obi’s appointment) happened.

“We have gotten in touch him (Atiku), he is traveling tonight and he promised that when comes back we shall meet in that.

“Peter Obi is our son, and is from South-east, we are not rejecting or accepting him but we are saying is that we are not aware, you cannot shave a man in his absence,” he said.

SS wasn't consulted b4 Jonathan was chosen 4 yar'adua. D initial pick was peter odili. It was on d night of d convention that yar'adua announced his pick by then Jonathan had already retired 2 his hotel room.
D Igbo case is peculiar. D lack of unity is glaringly evident. D political leaders always want 2 show superiority 4 simple issues. This was d case in d OBJ era when they were all queuing up 2b d next senate president. In 2015, ngige was d only high ranking APC senator in d national assembly. D president Hausa/VP Yoruba. Instead of igbos 2 rally round him so he could get senate presidency, they voted him out of d senate. Igbo politics is very disappointing but d outcry of marginalisation is d loudest. How will igbos not b marginalized when they can't put their acts together?

How can you say SOUTH SOUTH region were not consulted?
PETER was never a possibility but probability. That was never a way the Ijaws would be left out for an IKWERE man when the government was looking for a way to appease them.

When you have your mind made up it is hard to reason otherwise.
I mentioned Odili and IKWERRE you still ask me which PETER?

there's a reason y people have surnames especially when d discussion centres around two different people who have same first names. So its not out of order 2 ask u which peter u referring to.
