There is therefore no doubt that the Igbo of Southeast are really in a confused state of political regeneration. Just compare their leaders’ approach to the current intractable problem of killer-Fulani herdsmen with that of the Yoruba leaders.

Like the paranoiac hunter chasing rat while his house is on fire only selfish-minded, myopic and acculturated Igbo saboteurs would be engaging on the race of shame called Igbo Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Indeed as the equation of political struggles stands today, the worst that would happen to Nigeria is to see an Igbo, particularly the types that presently masquerade as political leaders and presidential aspirants, elected as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The already four known aspirants—Orji Uzor Kalu, Peter Obi, Dave Umahi, and Anyim Pius Anyim represent what is better described as iconic Igbo political fraudsters who are celebrated Fulani conspirators and quislings against their celebrated Igbo ethnic pride. The shameless role of Orji Uzor Kanu as both an Islamizing agent of the Fulani jihad scheme and financial backer of the Fulani Ruga conquest scheme need not be repeated here.

Peter Obi on the other hand, is not only a dangerous Christian bigot who chose to reap his political spoils of office by creating a devious Roman Catholic-Anglican denominational divide in Anambra State, but a subtle agent of Islamization who proposed the establishment of a World Islamic Center at his Agulu town through the gifting of large acres of land to the Jama’tul Nasri Islam of Nigeria in return for support for his Presidential bid.
Peter Obi also has crass unrepentant nepotism which has done more to restrict his effective political influence within his immediate Agulu community.

For instance, as Governor of Anambra State he had his fellow Agulu clansman Senator Umeh as National Chairman of APGA, his cousin Senator Joy Emordi married to an Onitsha man as Senator, and at the same time wanted another Agulu indigene Professor Dora Akunyili to become a Senator. Beyond the foregoing facts the trending allegation that Peter Obi even with his celebrated religiosity and accountability refused to render to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP National Executive Committee the accounts of billions of naira given to him for the last Presidential election as the Party’s Vice Presidential candidate.

Governor Dave Umahi is another disgrace to the Igbo ethnic nationality in matters of political etiquette, ethnic patriotism and pride of identity. At the time the Fulani vicious act of murderous impunity raised its ugly head in the Southeast through the Nimbo Ukpabi massacre, he was boldly inviting the murderous Fulani herdsmen to Ebonyi State. He is also the only Governor from Southern Nigeria who took the Islamic Sukuk loan, thereby mortgaging his people’s conscience, religious freedom, and independent ownership of their land without their knowledge.

He was first promised that his brother would be appointed Chief of Army Staff if he caved into the Fulani scheme in Igboland. When that did not materialize after the untimely retirement of his brother, he was again promised their support for his Presidential ambition still on the condition that he joined the APC. However, since joining the APC nothing again is spoken of Igbo Presidency within the APC political circles.

Like a vulture beaten by a heavy rain Governor Dave Umahi presently bears the carriage of a rejected political prodigal son from all angles of political contest in Nigeria. Indeed one is surprised that none of Dave Umahi’s kind was invited to the 11th Ahmadu Bello Lecture held at Arewa House in Kaduna on Saturday March 27, 2021.

The most laughable of all the Igbo presidential aspirants is Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, the worst colorless Secretary to the Government of the Federation ever to be produced. Known for his habitual sleeping-on-duty elephantine carriage, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim who had nothing to show as his positive contributions to collective Igbo interest and progress in his respective two tenures of Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation appears to present himself as the hatchet-man for exclusive Southeast Igbo Presidency and creator of authentic Igbo identity syndrome.

From the foregoing it is obvious that the Igbo under the present political circumstances should view those agitating for an Igbo President of the Nigerian nation as agents and co-conspirators of Fulani Jihad scheme and thus should not be taken serious.

These are the class of Igbo people who believe in the political invincibility of the Fulani oligarchy and for that reason have already submitted themselves and their fellow Igbo kinsmen to Fulani political slaughter-slab. A class of leaders who are insensitive to the trending dangerous schemes of the Fulani jihad oligarchy will neither enjoy the support of other ethnic groups nor the overwhelming sympathy of the oppressed but indolent Southeast Igbo masses.
