•Say ‘no peace, progress in a country rooted in injustice' FORMER president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has restated his position that the South-East should be allowed to produce Nigeria’s President in 2023, insisting that it would ensure peace, justice, fairness and sustainable national development in the country.https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/2023-presidency-should-go-to-s-east-obasanjo-falae/ 67 Likes 10 Shares

While the act of competence, charisma and a vision-oriented Presidential aspirant can be well presented in all tribes and geo-political zone, with respect to fairness and the conventional agreement held in the past on sequential zoning of elections, it clearly shows that it is the turn of the south-east to produce a president and to deny them indicates the arbitrary nature of the party they find themselves. smiley smiley Every sane Nigerian without sentiment knows this, and this we can see in the news above.

Hehehehehe it's better to be thrown open so that whoever has the majority will be elected. it's SE or SS presidency or the north continues. no wey for Tinubu criminals. 2023 will not be APC vs pdp rather it's election of interest and personality. 182 Likes 12 Shares |

Yes, Presidency should go to the South East in 2023. But, Igbos must fight for it. Presidency will never be zoned to any Igbo village. Obasanjo, Buhari, Goatluck, Yar'Adua, all contested against candidates from other regions, including Igbos. So, Igbos too should come out as they have already done, present not more than two consensus candidates and mobilize for them to face candidates from other regions. There is no single Igbo coward on Earth, none ever existed. Anybody bearing Igbo name and saying that the Presidency should be zoned to Igbo villages without contest by other regions, is definitely a bastard. Igbos will face anybody in any contest. Several Igbos have contested for and won political offices in UK, USA, Canada, e.t.c., why then will a true Igbo man be afraid of contesting against other regions right here in their father's land? 60 Likes 9 Shares |

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE? I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 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 after 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 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. We 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? We 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 have learnt not to bother ourself anymore to avoid unnecessary arguements with 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. omoalaro:Only a sensible person like you can ever see sense in this. Glad to see we still have intelligent people with a sound mind like you around. God bless you. God bless Nigeria. 25 Likes 13 Shares |

Currently South East has the best candidates that can make this country richer, that can develope this country, that can solve most of our problems, that can compete with other world leaders..... A leader that will ensure we stop living like we are in the jungle but the problem is hate...... The problem of Nigeria is not corruption but HATE.... Corruption exist in every society..... Is only HATE that can prevent a society from having its best at the top..... And once the best is not at the top then the leadership can not enforce perfection because they too knows they are not close to de best..... 26 Likes 2 Shares |

At this point in time in Nigeria, I choose "competence" over "fairness and equity". Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is the most competent from the lot that have expressed interest in the presidency so far. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is our preferred choice. |

I pray and wish that presidency not to come East,so that those selfish politicians in East will give the youths and the people a bit chance to pursue our main goal which is not to continue sharing the same country with those that hate us. Those that don't care about developing the country, Those that rejoices when innocent people are killed in East by Nigeria army but start acting caring when one security is killed in East. Those that wishes us evil and deaths, but Chukwu Okikeabiama continue keeping us stronger than our enemies. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
