It is free and fair.

Voters outside his tribesmen and tribeswomen who massively rigged in his favour in Igboland, do not know him,his face and party in Yorubaland and core north where we have the highest number of voters in Nigeria. In the leaked video, Mr Obi confessed to Bishop Oyedepo that he is not known and accepted in Yorubaland.

His tribal/religious divisive politics was equally a turn off to most of the patriotic Nigerians. The election was a referendum against the unpatriotic divisive tribal and religious politics of Mr Obi and his use of online mob.
Your regional voting pattern has been tribal in favour of your kinsmen in the last 30yrs.. and u still have the guts to call others tribalist?

It was a protest vote against the denial of Igbo Presidency since 1967.

For more almost 60 years, no Nigerian of Igbo heritage has governed the country. In 2023, a populist candidate from the South Eastern region, that is, the ancestral home of Igbos came up as the only christian contestant against 3 powerful Muslims.

It was the Igbos closest chance because he was well received by electorates in the North Central region than Nnamdi Azikiwe and he fared better at the polls than Ojukwu.

Why am I saying all these?

Competency is a subjective concept. Growing up in the South of Nigeria as a spectacular student of arts, humanities and law, I am not oblivious of the impacts of Tinubu's contribution to democracy and his undisputable role in contemporary Lagos.

Peter Obi kept telling people at campaign grounds to vote for whom they think is more competent. Even during interviews, he always reiterated that he shouldn't be voted for because he is Igbo and Christian.

That is where Peter Obi failed. He failed because deep in his heart he knew it was his turn based on Nigeria's political setting because he was Igbo and Christian. In fact, behind closed doors he was sponsoring a hidden war based on ethnicity and religion.

If Peter Obi was ever truthful enough to publicly declare that he should be voted for because he is Igbo and Christian, I would be on this platform campaigning for him because it is the only reason I can vote for him.

He was a mediocre governor- you can't change history. So I'd vote for him and zero my mind about improvement but know that I've ethically delivered a man who was brave enough to take the turn of his people.

In all you said... You no make any iota of sense.

In all honesty, Igbo people need to do their own version of "Yoruba ronu". Umahi is one of the few voices of reason left among his tribesmen. How can a whole group of people sleep and face one direction? In all honesty, Peter Obi won this election, but the powers that be would never allow him there. This is not about court or US or anything, but he has not washed his hands with elders enough to be president.
I remember vividly how Buhari dealt with Igbo people so much that he called them a dot in a circle. He brought Nnamdi Kalu from exile to Kuje prison all under US watch and up till now, nothing has happened. Their best response was sit-at-home Mondays.
Umahi has always advised Igbo people not to put their eggs in one basket with Peter Obi but they refused. Now a new government is coming up, they are still being abusive and in denial. Assuming nothing stops Tinubu's inauguration and he decides to follow Buhari's vengeful pathway, Igbo people will probably get scraps from Tinubu's government. I pray Tinubu be a better man than Buhari is and acts on his promise of a more inclusive government.

"...but in the other election, they voted for APC because of what we’ve done in the State."------ Umahi.

But it was under PDP that Gov Umahi achieved whatever he thumps his chest as achievements in Ebonyi State.

Towards the beginning of the 2023 election campaign, Umahi merely sold the mandate of Ebonyi PDP people to APC for his now stillborn presidential ambition, just like Rochas Okorocha of Imo state.
Lessons.

Absolutely correct. Every living thing in the SE voted PO, to be sincere if not for rigging by APC governors none of other candidates will get a single vote in all the SE states.

You are a pathological liar. You hate everything Igbo with your entire being. You are not in Obi's heart. He said and did the right things and he was an excellent governor. But here you are voting for a thief and violent man. Afterall you supported Buhari for 8 years and now supported and ailing man for the sake of tribal affiliations.

I don't hate Igbos. God forbid.

I really love Igbos. You don't even know my background and heritage yet you've concluded that I hate Igbos?

Igbos are some of the nicest people on Earth. Your tribe is great and is made up of resilient people. Be proud!
