Politics is all about interest. Just push yours & don't attempt to demarket any group. The North is tired of ruling Nigeria but southern disunity is urging them on. Northern rule hasn't helped the North or Nigeria so there must be a paradigm shift

Penguin2:
As 2015 Elections drew nigh, Tinubu led the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, a dominant party in the Southwest, into an alliance with CPC, a predominantly northern party, and other parties into an alliance that birthed the APC.

The APC went into the 2015 elections with Buhari, a northerner, as candidate and subsequently won the election.

But that came at the expense of the then president, Goodluck Jonathan, a southerner.

So, against southern interest, and against every reminder of Buhari’s antecedents of incompetence, majority of Southwest voters helped Buhari to power.

And that was a southerner lost power through the help of southerners.

Now, as the 2023 elections approach, discussions are on, on who should succeed Buhari and ironically, the region who threw Southern interest to the winds in 2015 seem to be at the forefront, championing southern interest. They have tried to remind all who cared to listen that it won’t be good for southern interest if another Northerner succeeds Buhari.

And you are forced to ask them, “where was your knowledge of southern interest in 2015?”.

Surreptitiously, these folks seem to talk about southern unity and interest when it will Favour them. And when it doesn’t, then work against and call it “sophistication”.

But in 2023, it’s either the Southwest endorses the Southeast for the presidency which would unite the entire Southern Nigeria behind an Igbo presidency, or power will go back to the north. F***k Southern unity and interest.

This is because any political watcher who wants to realistic with himself, knows that a southwest Presidential candidate won’t have the votes to guarantee him victory.

Let’s check things out a little,The Southwest is not even a sure straight victory for him not to talk of the north where he might be squaring up against PDP’s northern candidate. So if the north does not vote for a Yoruba candidate then he’s gone because he’s an orphan in the south.

But not so with the PDP candidate. With PDP candidate likely coming from the north, PDP is sure of at least half of northern votes plus the votes of Southsouth and Southeast and the PDP northern candidate will be declared winner.

Another thing you need to consider is that in 2015 when APC won, almost all northern influential political power broker were in APC. From Atiku, to Kwankwaso to Saraki to Tambuwal and many more. While others who were not fully into politics like IBB and co, provided tacit support. But these men are back to the PDP and that means a lot. Except you wanna live in denial.

Now, in 2031, after PDP’s candidate’s likely 8 year rule, the PDP might justifiably want to give its ticket to an Igbo man. Now the Southwest, fearing that Power equation may not favor them if a Yoruba man insisted on the APC ticket, might concede the ticket to a northerner who they would hope would help them win an Igbo PDP candidate in the elections.

Now, let’s assume the northern APC candidate wins the Presidency against the Igbo man in 2031, then the Igbos will wait for another 8 years to exert their own revenge in 2039 by supporting another northerner to take the PDP ticket instead of a Yoruba candidate winning the election.

And that’s how the vicious cycle would continue ad infinitum until maybe Nigeria disintegrates or the South comes to its senses.

But there’s a shorter route out of the whole mess; and that’s by the Southwest throwing their weight behind the Southeast bid for the presidency in 2023. With that, Igbo men would emerge candidates of both APC and PDP and whichever party that wins, it would be victory for the southeast and Southern unity would be cemented and whenever it is the Yorubas’ turn for power, the Igbos will throw their weight behind them.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

It is sad that your reasoning is purely sentmental.

Look, Yoruba know the game wellah, and one thing at a time in politics, Yoruba have not told you they would win in 2023, what they have done is to show interest and that is what sensible Igbo politician who want to contest should do.

Why are you pulling SW that is prepared down when you havent shown any interest?

Please stop disgracing Igbo race with this childish attitude, throwing away plate of food because your parent took a bite.

Does Nigeria practice a one party system where you expect every region to support one candidate?

Look, SW is never bothered whether North contest or not, what we are certain of is that SW has what it takes to slug it out with any region, politically, economically and educationally, SW is a partner in Nigeria project and will always remain so until the nation disintegrate. SW wouldn't succumb to your blackmail neither will it be intimidated by the north bullying.

My advice to you is to focus on how your region would present a credible and acceptable candidate to all Nigerians, until then, stop this southern unity nonsense you people are singing all about

Yoruba knows which game? Shut up Oga

If other southerners start playing corny and asslicking politics like Yorubas, then till next 100 years no yoruba man can be president of Nigeria... Politics is a game of number, so forget all those ur long talk.

As it stands currently, South South & South East are one politically. If they choose to support any northern candidate come 2023 under PDP, then tell me how you guys can achieve that ur unrealistic presidential dream.

You guys will realise that u're on political isolation come 2023... As Buhari take congratulate Soludo (APGA candidate) that's how he will congratulate Atiku if he should contest against ur over hype Tinubu..

Average yoruba man think and reason like woman and sees that as smartness, that's why you don't learn from previous event's.

Mr man, speak for yourself, others will vote their choice, you cannot force or stop people from voting their mind.
After all you have only one vote and yorubas are not begging for your vote, so stop this your recycling lamentations.

I tell you this for free...

What I wrote up there is the thinking and line of action of 99.9 percent of the entire people Southeast and about 99 percent of the entire Southsouth people.

You can take that to the bank or POS. Whichever helps you cashout quicker.

Penguin2:


“Politics is all about interest”. That’s what you said.

Now, the Igbos think their interest is better covered by a northerner in 2023. Just like the Yoruba felt their interest would be best covered by Buhari in 2015. I hope you don’t have issues with that?

About paradigm shift from northern rule, after 12 years of northern rule, 8 years of Southwestern rule, 6 years Southsouth rule with 8 years of Southwest Vice presidency, which region do you think deserves power in the south when we make a paradigm shift from the north?

ScamHunter:
Better north than Yoruba. We know that the strength of the north is their unity. We also know that the weak link in the south is Yoruba. The good news is that they're also the weakest in their ability to defend themselves so expect them to mostly end in Republic of Benin after the north wins again in 2023.

aribisala0:

So are we supposed to tear our clothes and cover our head with ashes?
We have heard you will not support Yoruba president . How many ways can you say or recycle the same thing? Why not wait till that time?

All this will change nothing, will it? You are looking for a pointless argument that can only be resolved one way so let us wait.

How does the topic relate with the nonsense you wrote? Endeavor not to transfer these fooo.lishness to your offsprings

How is what the Eboes do in politics the business of Yoruba ?

Has it ever been our concern or made any difference to us?
Do what you must do and stop all these childish annoucements

Alphagan:


I like your line of thought. Can you start promoting your preferred candidate from the north and stop bothering yourself about what Yoruba chooses to do?
