APC And The Ill-fated Gamble With Yoruba Presidency In 2023. by DiagnoPolitics: 8:27pm On Jul 08, 2020
As we already know, historical records have shown the futility of yorubas electoral votes est 1959. Awolowo, Olu falae, Tafawa balewa, Azikiwe, Yar adua and OBJ all know first hand how worthless votes of yoruba can be, the first two above-mentioned presidential aspirants had yorubas line up behind them in their usual tribalistic way of voting but all the yoruba votes in the world couldn't help them achieve their presidential aspirations. While last four on that list became presidents and prime minister without yoruba votes. Awo a yoruba politician and supremacist contested severally to be president with yoruba votes and propaganda machinery but he died an unfulfilled man. A local champion to be precise.

Conversely, yorubas who are famously known for their penchant as reverse propagandists, paint other regions-the SE and SS precisely as "inconsequential". Unlike other regions yorubas have never succeeded in putting in yoruba man in power, yet they arrogantly ascribe to themselves the title of "kingmakers" in an unbridled chest-pounding exercise of self-glorification.

The 2023 stakes and permutations.

Today regions cast their votes based on ethnicity and religion, a situation that was grandfathered and pioneered by yorubas and Awolowo himself post-independence. It reverberates till today and has become even worse.

If APC fields a yorubaman, the major opposition which still enjoys cross-regional acceptability will definitely field a Northerner, with the North traditionally voting Northern candidates and the SE and SS being in opposition , the APC will lose the presidency. Therefore a yoruba candidacy in any major party is a tricky one destined to fail from the onset. Other parts of the south, feel that yoruba have done their turn through OBJ who ruled for 8 years and Osibanjo who would have done 8 years as VP in 2023. The SE and SS elements in APC will definitely not be supportive of a SW candidacy, they'll either align with Northern leaders to wean SW of their greed and ensure they fail at the primaries.

If SW candidacy survives the APC party primaries through the use of what I call "money-bulldozing" politics as was clearly seen in the House of representatives elections that produced speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, where millions of dollars where shared with reckless abandon by his godfather Tinubu to the 360 house members who were the only electorates, it won't survive at the national level when faced with 25 million registered voters spanning across all regions.

The yoruba only hope of snatching the presidency is to single out the Eastern Igbos for scapegoating, and inflame passions against them for the benefit of the SW presidency through the use of propaganda, unfortunately they no longer have a monopoly of that since the advent of social media. They are well aware, they are not politically liked by the rest of the south which are largely pro-PDP, pro-East and pro-christian, therefore they try to set the East vs North against each other, begging the north not to contest while at the same time goading and taunting the East to contest with them. Only those who do not know the yorubas will take their machinations seriously and fall into their trap of emotionalism.

In 1999, the SW was allowed to contest against SW on the two major parties, if they do not believe same should be done to the others in the spirit of equity and fairness, then they have no business ruling this country. If yorubas are to contest, then it effectively means that zoning is dead and the North also has right to contest. So if the APC decides to gamble with a yoruba candidacy which will be unpopular in the rest of the south and which cannot defeat the North in the North, then they might as well be ready to "dash" their position of power to the major opposition which still controls many states across all regions in the country, even before the elections proper.

A yoruba candidacy is dead on arrival at this time. Thank you all.

What are the Igbo's scared of that they dare not face Yoruba in any election?

I thought you guys claimed to be from a brave tribe?

Instead of ass licking another Fulani in 2023, why not try your luck and prove how relevant you people are in Nigeria political scheme of things... Or are you people not interested in developing Politics?

You people should not make saboteur as a profession...

Imagine you

Why didn't yorubas face south south in 2015 election? Why is it they pinch their tent with the north to deny gej to continue his second term.

You guys are trying to be clever but archaic mindset has taken una sense of imagination.

Many always ask what igbos fear, i say its same thing that yourbas feared in 2015, instead of contesting, they chose a Northern so as to rise to power through the power of incumbency...


IGBOS will do same, if APC choose SW, SE and SS will rally on a Northerner so as to ride on the power of incumbency later..



As far as am concern, let's the truth be said. APC and PDP should choose SE as flag bearers, this is the only way out for southerners..

OP has made a very good point. With Obasanjo' 8 yrs as President and Yemi's 8yrs as VP, the yorubas have no biz contesting either President, VP, Senate President in 2023. This will be against the ideology of zoning and rotation that favours the Igbos for understandable reasons.
Rather than a SW or SS president in 2023, the North should continue. No shaking! Buhari can even have a third term. Like Atiku, the brown teeth drug lord in Eko will never be president of Nigeria. If he likes, let him share bullion Van's on election day. Mtcheeew

You people always want to change the history. GEJ went against the agreement of zoning by contesting the 2015 election when we all know that the north were supposed to complete their 8 years.
In 2011 the SW voted for GEJ.

Ibo people and inferiority complex like 5&6. instead of putting their house in order, get the PDP ticket for a qualify, popular and acceptable candidate among them in 2023, and reach out to other tribes for support, they rather give up on the ambition because of the fear of facing Yoruba in general election, and now ready to vote the northerners who slaughtered 3 million of their ancestors decades ago.
What they don't know is that presidential ticket can never be microzoned to the south east alone, until they summon enough courage to face the Yoruba in election, Ibo Presidency will continue to remain a mirage.
The only reason why I'm quoting you is to remind you not to gloat over the civil war.

Did you say northerners slaughtered 1m of your ancestors, no mahn! It was the north and the west.

Now let me shock you, have you seen what is happening upnorth? Killings everyday by them for themselves. Do you think it's ordinary?

Karma is at work dear. The blood of 1m of your ancestors cry for Justice, divine justice!
