APC never sidelined the SE, it's the igbos that have shown unwarranted hate towards the party. When APC was being formed, APGA was invited but they pulled out at the last minute, everything was done during the campaign to appease the igbos but they wouldn't have it. They even voted massively out of hate against Ngige despite the promise of the senate presidency. What more could have been done?

Igbos have an history of being unreasonably hateful and ungrateful, I don't see the hatred going away even if buhari transforms the SE into a paradise. IMHO, buhari and the APC do not need to appeal to the igbos in anyway, they should be the least prioritised if there's anything!

The one group that needs that appeasal is the south south. This is because they contribute immensely to the economy and do not practice the politics of bitterness like the igbos. It was understandable that they voted for their son in the just concluded election and even at that, they gave GMB more votes than the SE. Talk about crying more than the bereaved.

With the nigerdelta votes in the bag, the igbo votes becomes completely irrelevant as the worst that can happen is what we witnessed during the election.

Like every other region in nigeria, the SE will feel the wind of change but they should forget any special treatment or prioritised developmental projects. "Every region will be positively affected" that's the best you can get.

The APC should do an introspection to find out why the planned merger with APGA failed. Did they meet the wrong people? Were they diplomatic in their approach? What was the terms of agreement? And so on. It is only then that the APC should know why the merger failed and try to improve upon it. This was what was done when the initial planned merger between ACN and CPC didn't pull through.

APC shouldn't play the tribal card you are suggesting lest it will crumble. Just my humble advice.

No it isn't. If Buhari and APC are wise politicians, they should strive to win the love of the SE region. This way APC will have a national appeal and not an ethnic party (yoruba+hausa party) appeal that it is at the moment..

Setaje:


Even me. Am getting tired. It's getting too much. I don't even want to see any thread about igbos again. It's turning me to a terrible tribalist. Abeg Seun e don do. On a second note, do u shout like this when yorubas are being bashed on nl?. If u don't. Then u really don't have any say.

Desteenee:

Did u read of any ultimatum in that post Mr Man?

mapet:
Your logic beggars belief and a case of groupie idiocy. You mean a party that won the greater 2/3 of the country will be seen as ethnic party? I wonder why you guys continue to fool yourselves. It's a forgone conclusion that if you look at the consequences of bad political strategy fuelled by ethnic sentiments, you should look at you easterners.

If the Easterners are wise, they should shelve ethnic sentiments and play a strategic and vision-bbased politics. As advised by Okorocha, they should not take political decisions based on the cravings of their pockets

say no to what flows in your blood. If you people aint wicked, why hating on state creation whr as every region has six state

All Buhari needs to do to destroy APC for good is neglect the SE/SS......

timmilehin:
Isn't this demanding too much?

lestat:
the OP is trying to incite hate and draw attention to Igbos as seeming demanding, or else why would you go around hunting for posts like this? with less than 20 replies this nonsense post has hit front page?!!!!!!
Its now i am sure some mods are very tribalistic, you want Yorubas to come and start bashing Igbos over this right? you are a very wicked and evil soul for this post @timmilehin are you Igbo? what concerns you with this nonsense and the useless modd brought it to front page!!!! to encourage tribal bashing bunch of f00ls!!!

Abujabir24:

you should understand something. Igbos will never vote for buhari even if he works for them because of their tribalism. It is better for him to do something meaningful to the wouthwest and north where he knows he'll get his 15million votes.

Imagine the comment, how can you verify the tribe of the person you quoted, my brother you are better than this, please don't allow this website influence you, no one is perfect, but there's no excuse for tribal hate.. hate only breeds hate, and there is way too much scarcity of real love in the world to allow hate continue to breed

johnnynwa:
No, no,you have ur mouth open it wide & talk. The funny thing is that as you are busy talking the Igbos are busy moving forward! GMB has no option than to do their demands whether he likes it or not. Remember, the north didn't vote for him in 2011 but he greatly did their requests. My brother,wake up! After all the resources for the country's development are from the Eastern part.

Rawani:
Not surprising, this is what happens when faced with an uncertain future, which Ndigbo should have considered before going all gears and pistons with an unrivaled campaign of hate and character assassination. [s]Besides I don't think fura drinking old certificateless terrorists know anything about building Niger bridges or constructing roads, so Ndigbo stuff your requests deep inside where the sun don't shine[/s].

mcquin:


From the last election, isn't it obvious that the votes of Igbos isn't necessary? Igbos didn't vote him, but he still won.

I don't use to comment on any political thread but these people are clearly shameless...how can they have the gut to asked to be fed where they blatantly refused to sow?
