2023: Southeast Governors Not Betraying Igbo Presidency - Ohanaeze by etokhana: 10:55am On Apr 24, 2022
Apex Igbo sociocultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has debunked the insinuations in some quarters that governors in Southeast are working against the emergence of Igbo presidency come 2023. Ohanaeze insisted that the governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are still standing firm for the next Nigerian president to emerge from the Southeast region.

The group’s statement followed insinuations in several quarters within the Southeast that the governors from the region, especially those of the PDP are now leading the presidential campaigns of aspirants from other regions. Enugu State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu, had joined the campaign train of River State, Governor Nyesom Wike to Ebonyi State and the national headquarters of the PDP in Abuja respectively with some social media commentators accusing the governors of abandoning the quest for a presidency of the Southeast extraction.

But reacting to the insinuations in an interview with The Nation in Enugu, spokesman of Ohanaeze, Alex Ogbonnia said Ugwuanyi and other Southeast governors are consistent with the demand for a Nigerian president of the Southeast extraction in 2023. According to Ohanaeze, the governors’ outing with the Rivers State governor was mere camaraderie and fellowship in politics.

Ogbonnia said those criticising the governors are not well schooled about the way politics work. “Ugwuanyi has been consistent in saying that he would like zoning based on the principle of equity, fairness and justice. That is a statement he made publicly. By implication of that equity, he was talking about Southeast. So, that is where Ugwuanyi and his Abia State colleague, Okezie Ikpeazu stand”, Ogbonnia said.

He added, “So, whatever you see Ugwuanyi or any other Southeast governor doing is in the spirit of camaraderie and fellowship in politics. If they accompanied somebody to campaign, it’s just the spirit.”

Hmmmm

I praise Ohaneze and all the governors. Igboland is getting it right in this failing Nigeria.

Comparatively, the rest of Nigeria is in flames.

This Ohanaeze NdiIboe guys are a bunch of dyslexic mutts. They've hardly put their house in order, but want Osinbajo not to run for president.

Regardless, I don't see any force on earth tha would make an Igbo presidency come to fruition next year. Those bridges they've burnt will take eons to rebuild z that's if they ever get rebuilt.

As for me, hehehe, make I no just talk.

To the confusionist

South West does not have a consensus candidate: No problem

The North does not have a consensus candidate: No problem

South East does not have a consensus: Igbos are not united, Igbos are not loyal, Igbos don't love each other

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

We have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at our Igbo tribe. We have deliberately kept mum on this as we had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2023 elections, Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.


We've learnt not to bother ourselves anymore to avoid unnecessary mentions from nonentities.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.


Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

Ohaneze and their followers are truly mad, they've betrayed the south east people so so soon, even before primary election angry

Seems all they want is to be threatening Tinubu and osinbajo supporters for not handling over power to the East but have the efontary to cover up their bastard governors who are doing exactly the same thing of supporting non-ibo presidency

From this it's obvious that Igbo governors, ohaneze and their followers do not believe in president of South East extraction,

if anyone dare come out and cap nonsense of how it's south east turn they should be given hot slap

Useless betrayals set of people

Ofcause na. I don’t subscribe to speaking English up and down. I don’t think nigeria has any other option but to calmly select the finest candidate from southeast for presidency...


Equity over everything. Luckily for nigeria we have a rare gem who has indicated interest @PeterObi.


Igbos are not naturally politically savvy but trust me, scheming them out on this one equals to calling them fools to their faces. I don’t think an average Igbo man likes to be oppressed.


God bless Nigeria.
God bless Peter Ob

The greatest threat Igbos are facing currently is the criminals who masquerade as freedom fighters while burning police stations, butchering businessmen and women, kidnapping, snatching cars and cannibalzing Igbos after burning down their houses

Ohaneze Ndi igbo is a joke and they are into partisan politics now... And most of Government payroll. For them to say this i can confirm they are doing the biddings of those Governors. I know for sure two PDP Governors in the east working against igbo presidency.

Lastly i have to also agree in as much as we easterner appeal for the presidency to be zoned to east for equity and fairness, I must categorically state that power is taken and not given. We have to do more for this.
