Please spare us your holier than thou craprigging allegations, noting fully well your bitter disappointment at having your southwest APC states advantage wiped off by that the single odd state in the much maligned SE/SS.That shows we are not to be taken for granted by any politician in the centre

pendicle:
Politics is all about the choice we make individually and collectively. The Igbos are seen as astute businessmen and women and really need a lot of tutoring in political sophistry and education.

For Anambra Central people to choose a neophyte going to the senate for the first time to rep them in the Senate over a Two-term senator shows how naïve and politically unaware they are, even if Ngige's APC lose the General Election as thought by the Igbos, they would have benefitted with him being a Principal officer of the Senate even under a PDP government and probably be in contention for Senate Presidency if APC wins. The Senate Presidency by right should be zoned to the South since the Presidency is zoned to the North. Amaechi is fighting tooth and nail to get Magnus Abe into the Senate to fulfil that. It would have been between Ngige and Abe because the South west is holding the Vice presidential ticket. But the Igbos in Anambra central voted against their own best choice because he belonged to an Amala and a Boko Haram party. Whose lost now?

APGA as a Party have outrightly and foolishly rendered itself impotent by the foolishness of campaigning for GEJ at every political rallies and all their candidates carrying the picture of GEJ in all their posters and singing his praise in every rally. You're inadventently telling your supporters especially unelightened ones both parties are the same which will cause electoral loss to one of the two parties but with the one holding the bigger ticket as the most likely to benefit. A lesson in history with the Alliance for Democracy adopting Obasanjo's PDP as their candidate led to the defeat of their 5 governors who were unfortunate to have the Presidential and Gubernatorial Elections holding same day, they all lost except Tinubu then who was tactical by not openly campaigning for Obasanjo in Lagos. Lagos had most void votes then for the presidential election because many still picked AD for president with Tinubu as Governor. That episode led to the end of AD in the South West and Tinubu became the colossus he became today.


I'm hurt that the likes of Ngige, Izunazo and others who were treated like outcast by their own would have been part of the National Assembly but then they will be well compensated but it is the lost of the Igbo nation and they just shut the door on their 2019 or 2023 Presidential dream because the APC will remain the dominant party in Nigeria for a very very long time because they are now condemned to deliver more now than ever.

With d election won and lost, igbos just found their rhythm. 1. Their alliance with the south south will mushroom and stay strong. 2. They have proven they can battle in Lagos and get results so no one can take them for granted. 3 Because they are likely to vote as a unit, come 2019 after buharis massive failure,they will be like the proverbial pride well sort after by all.This election shows that igbos know what they want even if they don't get it,they will at least fight. Neglect them at your own peril. Finally, they have a lot to gain from what just happened . As for Yorubas this election has shown them to be neither here nor there . Gej got 43% of Yoruba votes. But what I appreciate about Yorubas, they will be the first to cry out once buharis government does not favour them. Biggest loosers in all these are the middle belters. It looks like they never cease to be controlled by the Hausa Fulani. Their is serious leadership crisis in the middle belt.

Texcoco:
Inaddition to that, the igbos have fared better without any strong representatives in the centre, we have before and we will always.Most importantly, we now have the full cooperation and friendship with the SS given how we plunged our fate with them this election.A serious development enemies will be at pains to break up.

warripekin:

The alliance will not only blossom, it will be feared. Besides once Bohari is announced as the winner of this election, expect a kaiama declaration. Boharis government will be grossly sabotaged just as the hausas did Jonathans

Meanwhile this is how Yorubas voted, after all the noise from people like the OP.
State APC PDP
Ekiti 120 331 176 466
Lagos 792 460 633 327
Ogun 308 290 207 950
Ondo 299 899 251 368

Oyo 528 620 303 376
Total 2 433 193 1 822 416
Buhari 57% GEJ 43%

Difference = 610 777
Anambra votes for GEJ alone exceeded cancelled this and added some more.

pendicle:


Yeah, you pulled so much weight the presidency was decided by your coalition of weight pullers.

You won a REP seat in Lagos in an area populated by Igbos and dominated by OPC /aggrived/anti tinubu yorubas. With the persistent and permanent movement of the Presidency to Lagos and the huge dollarization of Lagos by jonaTAN I think he deserved a Senate seat for all his sleeplessness and wastefulness. Lagos is still and will always remain APC

Nothing worth celebrating for the PDP in the SW aside Ekiti so what is the issue here. For APC to sweep ondo clean hmmm. Watch as Fayose is impeached and made accountable soon

Texcoco:
We noticed your obvious pain and disappointment dismissing the epic situation of Lagos represented by not only one 'igbo' but FOUR in the HOR, putting the blame on everything and everybody but not yourselves.We believe that is the true representation of Lagos, then you look at the strong bond we have forged with the SS,sweeping off your 'kingmaker status' into oblivion.Noting how notoriously politically unreliable and unstable your people are what we would it take for a northern rival to court and galvanise we?? Or maybe Buhari dumpin you and securing his position with a trusted,tested and stable foundation?

tbaba1234:


I think, the Lagos situation is a good thing. We are finally having a cosmopolitan state.

Perhaps with time, the phenomenon spreads.

tbaba1234:
The SE supports the Government in power historically. APC will be a stronger party in the SE in 2019. Ngige will probably end up with a ministerial portfolio.

I couldn't believe orji won the senate seat. While the people of Benue punished suswam by defeating him in a landslide. Somehow, Abia people rewarded Orji with a senate seat.

It is a big political risk campaigning for another party. APGA should have left PDP to campaign for themselves.

Raiders:
Rochas plan has always be to become President of Nigeria. He contested the pdp presidential primary before and also contested the APC primary election this yr. I think Rochas is just contesting for Imo state governorship election so as to be politically relevant in 2019. I believe APC Will likely zone the presidency or vice to the east when Buhari steps down and Rochas will be the likely Easterner to get their ticket.
I just hope Imo state vote for him next month. He hasn't done really bad as a governor.

pendicle:


Or George Akume. APC winning Benue is such a huge surprise to everyone within the party hierarchy. Thanks to Gemade and Akume.

Watch the Police IG and the military behave properly on the 11th of April. They no born them well to do as they did last Saturday knowing the next commander in chief already have enough grudges against them.

Watch AIT and NTA start withdrawing their praiseworshipping of the PDP and GEJ from today.

MzJackBaueress:
With Buhari elected as our new president under APC,I see Igbos voting massively for APC in the southeast in the governorship elections.
That is the last opportunity they have to make up for their votes against APC in the presidential elections.

Rochas must not be voted out! Imo people must be wise.

Laughable attempts at "divide and rule" tactics on the igbo even now that they are ever more united with the SS as ever in the history of this country....Now political pundits and politicians especially northerners won't take us for granted, go figure Federal reps for Lagos.Whoever wins this would owe it a thing of expiediency to court the igbos/ss because we don dey pull weight.

pendicle:


Hallucination is when you feel the massive rigging did for GEJ in the South South and South East matter to anyone.
Despite the huge population of Hausas in Enugu PDP is telling us APC could not muster 10000 despite fielding candidates for every elective post in the state.

You guys just taught the Northerners to always use up their number of registered voters during an election instead of accredited voters in 2019. Watch Kano pull 5million votes in 2019 with APC controlling the police and the military like the PDP used them this year .

Its a vicious cycle and the pendulum have swing to the other side watch it remain there for a very long time.

LOSER'S SECOND PLACE CONCESSION, just to make himself feel better after losing. I understand your pain Bruv.

Texcoco:
We fail to follow you,try to be elaborate..

ba7man:
You're right. APGA is already showing signs of being more than just a regional party.

That unholy alliance with PDP robbed it of being sucessful that they should have been during this election.

They should learn to be independent now and not suck @ss like they did with PDP.

You can see how PDP backstabed them to rob them of various elected seats. They don't give a sh1t bout u guys.

azzima:
dummy, this is where the Yorubas are smarter unlike the ibos. Anyway this election goes, Yorubas will always win, be it PDP OR APC because we all didn't put all our eggs in 1 BASKET. That my friend is what you call POLITICAL CALCULATIONS.!!!!
