Isn't it funny that anyone from South East can be making demand of Apc zoning the presidency to their region.

Please what's the stake of South East as a region in APC?

It's not only annoying but it's disrespectful to be making this kind of demand

But you said you didn't need Job but why are you crying bitterly or are you afraid of the factional APC emerging

A coalition of prominent Yoruba elders has issued a strong warning to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, urging him not to take actions that could jeopardize the chances of an Igbo candidate emerging as Nigeria’s president in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, the group emphasized the importance of equity, fairness, and national unity, noting that the South-East region has long been marginalized in the country’s political leadership. According to the elders, allowing an Igbo presidency in 2027 would be a significant step toward healing historical grievances and strengthening Nigeria’s fragile unity.

The spokesperson of the group stated that the principle of power rotation—though informal—has played a stabilizing role in Nigeria’s democracy. He argued that after years of leadership dominated by other regions, it is only just that the South-East be given a fair opportunity to produce the next president.

“We are calling on all major political actors, especially Atiku Abubakar, to act in the interest of national cohesion. Any attempt to override the legitimate aspirations of the Igbo people could deepen divisions and create unnecessary political tension,” the spokesperson said.

The elders also appealed to political parties to zone their presidential tickets to the South-East, stressing that inclusiveness remains key to sustaining democracy in a diverse country like Nigeria. They warned that ignoring the calls for an Igbo presidency could lead to voter apathy and increased distrust in the political system.

While acknowledging Atiku Abubakar’s right to contest in any democratic process, the group urged him to demonstrate statesmanship by supporting a power shift to the South-East. They further called on other political stakeholders across the country to prioritize unity over personal ambition.

The statement has already sparked reactions across political circles, with some supporting the call for equity, while others insist that competence and electability should remain the primary criteria in choosing Nigeria’s next leader.

As the 2027 elections approach, the debate over zoning and regional representation is expected to intensify, highlighting ongoing challenges in balancing merit, fairness, and national integration in Nigeria’s democratic journey.

Tinubu administration are fantastic corrupt.
Tinubu administration met fuel price at 200 naira per liter in 2023 but increase it to 900 naira per liter with the excuse of fuel subsidy removal and now to 1300 naira per liter with the excuse of middle east war: tinubu administration joking with Nigerians intelligence.

Middle East wars, caused all this tinz

It is Tinubu and APC fault.
Tinubu and APC want to use middle east wars as excuse to increase fuel prices against the detriment of Nigerians.

It should be president Tinubu that didn't provide any cushion to the suffering of its citizens.

It is Tinubu and APC fault.

DomPerignon:
lolz

The only ones crying are the ones wailing over a jailed convicted terrorist

Tinubu is going to jail after south east presidential taskforce recover the 2023 stolen presidential mandate of south east from APC in 2027 presidential election in Nigeria.

Are you ready?

DomPerignon:
Bitterness from a coward is like the sparks from a flint stone.

We are waiting for you people to cry blood because for now you people crying bitterly and wailing is little compare to what await you people in 2027.

In a stunning turn of events, the South East Presidential Taskforce has dealt a crushing blow to the Opc and Oduduwa group, forcing them to flee in disarray. The taskforce, known for their fierce determination, has been on a mission to recover the stolen presidential seat in the South East, allegedly pilfered by the APC in 2023.

According to sources, the taskforce's bold move has sent shockwaves across the nation, with Nigerians from all walks of life hailing their bravery. The Opc and Oduduwa group, once vocal opponents of the taskforce's efforts, have gone into hiding, unable to withstand the pressure.

This victory is seen as a significant milestone in the South East's quest for presidential power in 2027. The APC has been accused of neglecting the region, and this win is a testament to the taskforce's unwavering commitment to justice. ¹

As Nigerians celebrate this triumph, questions arise about the future of the Opc and Oduduwa group. Will this defeat mark the beginning of the end for these opposition forces?

DomPerignon:
Ok.

We have heard grandpa of wisdom.

Now make we hear word.

Carry out your agenda to overthrow Tinubu and let us be.

We don't deserve to be bombarded with your pain induced rants here

WE have not started yet and you people are already begging and tired.

Na body go tell Una.

yarimo:

LottiOk:
After '27 elections, many kanu supporters turned Obidentes like the op who uses his other monikers to comment and validate his senseless posts, will run away from NL and social media outta shame.

I'm just here to laugh 😁😆😅😂🤣 at the op in advance cos he won't be here after the elections

You kids on nairaland make me laugh always.
Tinubu will not win 2027 presidential election because tinubu now already knows he is a one term president of Nigeria and the last Yoruba president of Nigeria.

If you doubt me then go and ask questions.

DomPerignon:
So you still carry that idiotes Obi for your ticket?

The only time you will vote anything into power of your own ethnic stock is when we give you your five plot containment zone.

Your crying bitterly will not move me because you do not know what you are talking.

In 2027 south east presidency stolen mandate will be recovered as south east presidential taskforce will do the needful.

DomPerignon:
You can only dream.

This is reality and it is happening already.

DomPerignon:
And you will continue to cry over 2023 election outcome till your last breath

Your bitter crying and wailing can not stop the recovery of 2023 south east presidency stolen mandate by APC in 2027.

DomPerignon:
Yeye dey smell.

No be only stolen mandate.

Dey play.

Continue joking with your confused self as stolen mandate is recover in a intelligent way.

helinues:
Of course,the question will be silly to you

They gave 89% of votes in the 2023 election. We should be expecting anything from 95% in 2027.

You go explain tire

helinues:
Are they going to give 95% of tribalistic votes again on a candidate with no track records

You will continue asking silly questions until you are tired.

gidgiddy:
Tell me any ethnic group the Presidency of Nigeria has helped?

If anything, the Presidency of Nigeria has only made the lives of everyone worse

The North West and North central that have had the Presidency the longest are now centre of terrorism, banditry and poverty

Even Katsina that produced Buhari for 8 years has almost been overrun by bandits

Presidency of Nigeria is just a mirage, people make it out to be more than what it really is

No ethnic group needs the Presidency to survive, but every major ethnic group in a federation deserves a fair shot at leading it. Nigeria is supposed to be built on equity, not permanent exclusion.


The South East (Igbo) is the only major region yet to produce a President in this democratic era. Asking for inclusion is not entitlement — it’s fairness.

The Presidency may not automatically develop a region, but in a federal democracy, inclusion matters. Since 1999 every major bloc has produced a President except the South East. Equity is not about magic solutions — it’s about belonging. If the office is truly a “mirage,” then no region should fear another region having a turn.

2027: A Battle the Igbos Cannot Afford to Lose in Nigeria’s Presidential Election

As Nigeria marches toward the 2027 presidential election, political tensions are already simmering across the federation. For the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria, the contest is shaping up to be more than just another electoral cycle — it is being framed by many as a defining moment in their political future within the Nigerian union.

The echoes of the 2023 election, which saw Peter Obi of the Labour Party galvanize unprecedented youth and diaspora support, still resonate strongly in the Southeast. Obi’s performance reawakened political consciousness among millions of Nigerians, particularly Igbos who viewed his candidacy as a long-awaited opportunity to reclaim national leadership decades after Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria’s first President of Igbo extraction.



Since the end of the civil war in 1970, many Igbos have argued that the Southeast has remained politically marginalized in the rotation of presidential power. Nigeria’s informal zoning arrangement has largely oscillated power between the North and the Southwest, leaving the Southeast without a turn at the presidency in the Fourth Republic.

Political analysts note that 2027 may represent a strategic opening. Debates around equity, federal character, and national unity are once again dominating discourse. With rising youth participation, economic hardship, and shifting alliances among major political blocs, the path to Aso Rock is more fluid than ever.



The call for an Igbo presidency is no longer confined to regional advocacy groups. It has entered mainstream political calculations. Supporters argue that allowing the Southeast a fair shot at the presidency would reinforce national cohesion and demonstrate Nigeria’s commitment to inclusion.

However, critics caution against framing the election purely along ethnic lines. They emphasize that competence, coalition-building, and cross-regional appeal will ultimately determine victory.



Major parties are expected to begin coalition talks well before primaries commence. The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are already recalibrating strategies after the 2023 race. Meanwhile, the Labour Party’s unexpected surge has disrupted the traditional two-party dominance.



Nigeria’s demographic reality could redefine 2027. A large portion of the electorate is under 35, digitally mobilized, and increasingly vocal. The social media momentum witnessed in 2023 may only intensify. For the Igbo political class, harnessing this energy while maintaining strategic negotiations with established power brokers will be critical.


As 2027 approaches, one message grows louder across town halls, diaspora meetings, and political forums in the Southeast: this election is not merely about power — it is about representation, equity, and long-term integration within Nigeria’s evolving democracy.

Whether that sentiment translates into electoral victory will depend not only on ethnic solidarity but on political pragmatism, coalition-building, and national trust.

For the Igbos, 2027 is being cast as more than an election. It is a test of unity, strategy, and the enduring quest for a place at the center of Nigeria’s political destiny.

Typical Empty Barrel Noise Makers, former Apga, former Pdp, for Labor Party, & now Adc all in a decade?

Tinubu is a one term president of Nigeria and the last Yoruba president of Nigeria.

If you are still unsure then bookmark this thread for reference purpose.

Tinubu have failed Nigerians.
Tinubu is a one term president of Nigeria and the last Yoruba president of Nigeria.

The Obidient Movement, a political support group backing former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, has issued a strong warning to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement released on Thursday, Obidient movement cautioned the APC against any attempt to manipulate or rig the 2027 general elections, stressing that such actions would attract “serious consequences” from Nigerian voters.

The group reiterated its position that the mandate of Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election was “stolen,” maintaining that the will of the people must be respected in future electoral processes. According to the statement, the movement remains committed to ensuring that electoral integrity is upheld and that every vote counts in 2027.

“We are putting the APC and its leadership on notice that Nigerians will not tolerate any form of electoral malpractice in 2027. The democratic rights of citizens must be protected,” the statement read.

The Obidient Movement further called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and civil society organizations to strengthen safeguards that would guarantee transparency, fairness, and credibility in the upcoming elections.

Political analysts note that early rhetoric ahead of the 2027 polls signals the likelihood of heightened political activities and tensions as parties begin strategic positioning. The APC has yet to formally respond to the remarks.

As Nigeria moves closer to another election cycle, observers emphasize the importance of peaceful political engagement and adherence to democratic principles to maintain national stability.

This is a timely and mature call for national introspection. Beyond politics, it speaks to equity, inclusion, and the unfinished work of healing old wounds. A united Nigeria can only thrive when every region feels seen, valued, and genuinely included.



This isn’t about entitlement—it’s about balance, fairness, and trust in the Nigerian project. Inclusion today is the foundation for unity tomorrow.


The Igbos should be compensated by tinubu and Yorubas because Igbos have tolerated alot of wrongs from tinubu and Yorubas
