Even if it was just rumors. . . . wouldnt it had been a factor if SEasterners believed that Buhari rejected one of their own?

From what I've been reading from SEasterners on NL, the main reason GEJ was chosen was:

1) He had an Igbo blood/name
2) He has the potential to help the SE nation
3). . . . GEJ = The Biafra was is over. New thread/post I saw yest

No tangible reason.

ADD ONLY AFTER GEJ PICKED PDP TICKET CAUSE THEY WERE ALL SCREAMING IBB ATFIRST 2015 IBO PRESIDENT

The same set of people that despised anything Ijaw a few months before the election. All GEJ had to do was slap them with the Igbo middle name.

I guess Babangida's offer for 2015 was not strong enough.

In my opinion, Goodluck Ebele Jnathan should be congratulated for breaking the jinx. Even a yoruba candidate would have lost against GEJ in the election.

I have always respected the Yorubas they are indeed very educated and smart in political matters.

The yorubas voted Jonathan and not PDP and this was possible because of the kind of campaign Jonathan had.

The SWest votes for PDP should be seen as a slap to the Godfathers, although Tinubu won the NASS elections today the same folks who voted agianst Obj in front of his house voted Jonathan massively, it shows that they are no more sheep following blindly after the godfathers.

That is to say if Tinubu supports a non performing gov it is possible to sack that Gov with Tinubu standing beside him.

I believe we still have some way to go with the north, Katsina would not have been won by Buhari if he was running against Yaradua.


I look forward to a greater nigeria where the electorates are the godfathers!!!!

Deadline for VP selection was in February, I beleive. The above news is rubbish as there seems no other support for the claims made. Check the date and the evidence from the weeks before to understand what I mean.

I doubt it because the decision made in the SE to support Jonathan had been made long before this - -- Remember many of these groups played a part in urging Jonathan to run for the presidency and in his fight against the PDP Zoning fiasco.

Dont mean to go off target here, but didnt Ojukwu also urge his people to vote for IBB?

still doesntr exclude the fact igbos were split on the decision to endorse GEJ, IT WAS MAINLY AFTER HE GOT PDP TICKET IT BECME SOLID.

OR IS IBB not ikechukwu!

Who is Ode now?

Odeyorubas.

Deal with is Ileke, GEJ won, fair and square.

Like I have said so many times, there are drones of groups out there that claim to speak on behalf of Ibos but a lot of them represent their own pockets. Yes, Ojukwu endorsed IBB, but there are other groups that endorsed Jonathan and aided him in his fight to betray the PDP Zoning agreement, which we now know is here to stay.

I understand reason 2, but reason 1 and 3 voters are not progressive.

At the end, if Jonathan does not perform. . . .I hope that's when ACN SW (one voice) takes action.

Interesting.

Cant wait to see how this next 4 year pans out.

Interesting observation:

1. Last weekend, Northerners voted PDP, this weekend, they almost all voted CPC

2. SW nation almost all voted ACN, this weekend almost all voted PDP

It is laughable that some southwesterners would try to arrogate some sort of power that has swung the votes for GEJ. A lot of you southwesterners are wishy-washy lying lots that change with the tide.
I personally monitored the voting pattern in Lagos and I can comfortable tell you that the over 2million votes in Lagos, more than 65% were non-yoruba votes and the of that non-yaruba votes, the Igbos constituted more than 40% of it. Lagos state which has the highest PDP votes in SW region scored that high because of the willingness of many non-yorubas to cast their votes irrespective of the wide spread aparthy of a lot of the yoruba(who felt the election has very little to do with them since none of their son was in the race).
I find it apalling that some of you that obviously are not in Nigeria will want to turn around and say the Yorubas have done GEJ a favour with the very low turn out as evidenced in other Yoruba states.
I am not arguing that we did not have yorubas that genuinely voted for GEJ but to now say they are the reason GEJ is going to win is very laughable and an insult to the people of the SS and SE that have shown unwavering support right from the on set to even the casting of the votes.
In lagos there were even a lot loyalty votes amongst the yorubas that voted for PDP hence the allegation that Tinubu may have tacitly told egg head party members to tell their boys to vote the PDP. In my ward for instance in surulere and another polling unit in Mushib LGAs I saw ACN party members openly canvassing votes for the PDP and were saying: "ati vote fu PDP nsi to ba ti di next week eyino ma vote fu wa o". That was the trend. The educated yorubas I know mostly voted for Buhari and Ribadu so what exactly is the mantra of SW gave GEJ this and that. Apart from Lagos that gave GEJ an advantage, the other SW state could hardly claim to have deliberately done anything to help with votes for GEJ, even Oyo that registered over 2million votes cant even boast of a modest 1million votes compared to a tiny state like Abia not to talk of Ekiti and Ogun state or even Osub where he lost outrightly to ACN.
In fact to be candid, Northerners even gave better support than SW in comparison even though Buhari was a mammoth personality there especially the NC states.
Shouting we did it for him is laying claim to a victory you did not labour for.
Lets be honest here, the SW has not done anything too different from the north in this election for GEJ, the only thing they have done is vote and they just had to choose somebody anyway.
Enough this claims already Jare!

@ rhymz

Regardless of who voted for whom, if we want a better country, I still don't get why anyone will vote for GEJ. This person is a visionless thief, just like his fellow travellers in the PDP. Even if Buhari is visionless too, at least, he's not a thief and conceivably, his VP may help him in the vision thing (like Idiagbon did), more than Sambo seems to have done for GEJ so far.

This is evidence that we understand their language. The language is awareness and unity against ex-bad leaders that want to impose his rule by force on us.
Without doubt this is a victory to demo crazy, thanks to those that joined us to make it happen.

Exactly, I'm not jumping over because GEJ won, but because we're finally understand what one voice means. Not because of tribalism or party, but for development.
