Orju Uzor Kalu had his chance before he squandered it. That man had so much potential I tell you. But look at him now and what he did (or didn't do) for Abia State. I spit whenever I hear that man's name.

dayokanu:

Think about it, An Atiku Presidency had a SOLUDO VP written on it like a tattoo. and by 2015 a legitimate shout at Presidency. Thats when you can say SE support of PDP is justified

What does GEJ offer? Number 3 which you even have to fight SW for? Imagine

Orji Uzo Kalu,.,, fact

They say charity begins at home. Orji failed himself and Ndigbo before his political career at the Federal level would've kicked-off. He killed the dream.

alj harem:

brother, what orji did is not different from what tinubu and other governors have done

brother, can you not see that the nigerian elites made him look bad because of the potential of him being the igbo leader

tell me what orji did that tinubu have not done worse

remember he even told igbos we need to come together

dayokanu:

Personally I think Igbos should just get behind someone of their own that can hold his own Someone like Orji Kalu. I feel Kalu is bold and wont sell out to Hausas easily. His bad act can be sorted out in house.

Many Yorubas know Tinubu is tainted but just because he is leading the challenge on the PDP, His crimes are overlooked when we get PDP out, the we can sort out Tinubu and ACN internally.

Now every PDP contestant takes the SE votes for granted. E.g if Jonathan is worried about any part of the country voting for him he would think Far North and SW first.

If they ask him "What about SE, I am sre he would say I have that settled, No wahala"

I still dey laugh

dem_people:

But Soludo was never nominated as VP candidate by the Atiku camp prior to the primaries. They could have dangled carrot at Ndigbo with a V.P and, on getting their votes for the primary, will then start to sing another tune to appease the S.W thereby leaving a confused and divided S.E. Its all politics. They might never had wanted Ndigbo for the V.P slot.

Kalu can be forgiven to fight the bigger fight, and later when the battle is won, You can settle it internally.

Dont let another group dictate who your leaders should be. [b]Support someone that supports Igbo first [/b]and not someone who only look for his own pocket

dayokanu:

Atiku didnt nominate anyone, and at that time The SE was closer to ATiku while most of the SW were and still romancing with Buhari and Ribadu.

All intellectual attacks on GEJ's campaign from ATiku was masterminded by Soludo. It would really be hard for Soludo to be dumped by Atiku.

jason123:

You could not have said that better. I keep wondering why they say the yorubas and the igbos hate eachother when we all advise and come to eachother's help?

alj harem:

no no brother

jason123:

There would be no point appeasing the SW since all he needs is the north and some states in the SE.

Ileke-IdI:

Are you guys still discussing that cross-eyed woman? She better get her vision aligned  

Anywaz, I didnt see where she specifically tried the SW, she knows better. I'll have to send Deji of Akure to fix her up  

fstranger1:

Will you please STFU for once.!

Who told you we like each other.

Stop saying shyyt!

dem_people:

It still makes no difference. Please visit Abia state if u can and see first hand, the mess this guy created there. We're not talking local politics here. We're talking about someone who is likely to properly represent Ndigbo not a mumy's boy.

Peter Obi is much better but in APGA. Sullivan Chime is a star. Soludo is also very capable but Orji, I say a capital NO.

Obj deliberately ignored the SE in 2007 when he jumped to the SS for a VP. The same could've repeated itself. Our best bet is to remain with the GEJ despite the purported set-back.

Chyz*:

We uphold Kalu when he fights for Ndigbo.This is through his involving with our organizations such as Ohanaeze.Help correct their wrong. Do building with Igbo events.Not when he is going for personal ambitons for president or governor.That is how we know we is apart of our plight.And as for him as president,no. He's not sell-able to the rest of the country even if we were to forgive him of his sins.

alj harem:

i know

but you have to remember that to be a leader, you need money to fund elections and also people in your region can respect you

And I am not going to lie, I was totally against Nwodo. I hated what he was doing to Sullivan Chime.

dem_people:

I've got this very weird feeling about Orji. His performances alone as Gov still cause a stir. I prefer a Chime or even a Soludo to this guy. Even Peter Obi himself despite his party, I still prefer.

It still doesn't take away the fact that he performed abysmally in his state. Anybody can claim to be championing Igbo causes but that must be backed with action. If he so loved Ndigbo, it should've been demonstrated in Abia state FIRST before anything which in this case, his actions would speak for him rather than rhetorics. I used to like the guy back in 1999 -2000 but mennnnnnnnnn, he failed Ndigbo.

Onlytruth:

APGA remains the only vehicle by which Igbo can rediscover themselves politically.

Thank God for APGA.

I however believe that APGA will not field a presidential candidate (whether he will win or not) because Ndigbo want Jonathan to succeed.

That can change if we find out that we are being taken for a ride by GEJ.

APGA is a long term vehicle.

@abagworo,

I never supported swapping of PDP chairmen. In fact I was the only Igbo commentator here constantly agitating against their swappings. Just for the record.

dayokanu:

Soludo is not a Politician he is a technocrat, he cant do Politics. I dont know much about Chime and how "dirty and In-your-face" he can get. Peter Obi looks too gentle to be that man. It takes a lot to snatch power and "demand" for your people.


Orji to me seems more like a younger Ojukwu with his "strong head"

Then all Igbos support APGA and make sure APGA sweep those 5 states, When you do that then you can come out and bargain that If you dont give us this this and this, We would take our 5 states votes elsewhere.

This I believe is the way to play politics in this multi everything Nigeria

There will always be political wars fought within groups. Those wars should not be used to present the WHOLE group in bad light to outsiders.
For me, that is the bottomline.

jason123:

Supported! But I personally want ACN to make in-roads in the SE.

eku_bear:

I think focusing on minority states in the middle belt and SS makes more sense and would lead to better results. Akwa Ibom for example as ACN would be pretty cool.

EzeUche_:

Over my dead body. ACN will not get past Bayelsa State. Akwa Ibom state is a state that I hold dear due to my Ibibio roots. The Ibibio/Efik/Annang are more aligned with the Igbo than the Yoruba so keep on dreaming.

No problem. We go use APGA dey eye Eko!
hehehe!

I really hope APGA understands that it can actually win zones outside of SE.
