Leke Baiyewu, Abuja

The Chairman of the Southern Senators Forum in the Senate , Hope Uzodinma , has urged Igbo leaders to examine the current political alignment in Nigeria to position the South - East for the nation ’ s presidency in 2023.

Uzodinma, who represents Imo in the Senate, said the advice became necessary as the current political indicators in the country pointed to the possibility of the South - East losing out from the nation ’s political equation in 2019, even more than it did in 2015.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Customs , Excise and Tariffs spoke at his Omuma country home while addressing prominent political leaders from Imo State at a meeting on the chances of the Igbo in the 2019 general elections.

He stated that every right thinking Igbo person should be worried that the recently released list of appointments to the boards of Federal Government ’ s agencies and parastatals clearly indicated that the South - East was losing out in the political calculations at the federal level.

Uzodinma added , “ Let me be honest with you my brothers and sisters, I think we are putting ourselves in a disadvantaged political position. We need to re- strategise and quickly strike strategic alliance with our northern political elite ahead of the 2019 elections so that what happened to us in 2015 will not be our lot in 2019. ”

Please stop spanning this forum with your ranting

Having said that

South east will be a betrayal having named southwest of aligning with the north

I know its all envy before now

They wish I was them

Yeye dey smell

I said it that 2019 will be religious and tribal election

I will be happy to be part of it

Sai baba

you people should keep dreaming..

who do you expect to vote for you??

the hausas or yorubas..

or Igbos that you were silent on when the jihadist had your people slaughtered ,,,



you all are stupid and foolish at the same time.

Who is Uzodimma?

Who is Uzodimma?

Read the op's post and stop asking senseless question.

I guess this senator just came out of a cave, if not, he would have known by now that Igbos are already in a strategic alliance that will deliver the presidency to Atikulate in 2019. Votes from the 5 Igbo States and Adamawa are enough to do the magic.

Please Uzodinma should speak for yourself and live the Igbos to vote for their rightful candidate come 2019, because The North will never support the Igbos to be president of Nigeria, maybe he just wakeup to see what Buhari is doing to the Igbos.

There are questions known as Rhetorical questions..... If you were aware, you would not bother responding.... Please move on

You are nobody in the scheme of things...the people that matter are talking and you are here chest beating..

No sir!

Another northerner should take over from Buhari. 4 more years under this directionless rule of Buhari would leave us all with no nation after the wreck!


12yrs of northern rule is okay if that will save the future of our children!

Anyone (anything) but Buhari!

How does this correlate with the blackmail topic on ground?...

Zombie default method - Go off topic

These politicians never seem to understand that everyone is tired. 2019, 2023, 2027........

Hunger is killing people and someone is still talking 2023

They are being realistic not Sentimental.... 2019 has already been taken by Buhari, why can't they start planning for 2023?

Or do you think voters and vote influencers reside on online?

This is not Nnamdi kanu's Ipob, but Nigerian politics...so wake up and embrace reality..

Read what you wrote again, how did that make sense to you?

I thought you guys branded Northerners gworo chewing born to rule before? Why are you guys so confused? I mean who plays politics through hate and blackmail?

Even late Nnamdi KANU would be turning his grave, if he saw, how you guys have suddenly turned to Hausa Fulani lovers just because Buhari is exercising his constitutional right of seeking reelection.

Senator Uzodimma is a wise man. Igbos, listen to him.

The transgendered above trying desperately to draw me into his unproductive and unintelligent rants.


Just like your gay partner running riots on here, your mentions will continue to be ignored.


This is just so you know...

Happy New Year BTW.

Hope should speak for himself.

Those who 'gained' from the political equation are their regions better off?

What did the average Northerner gain from +40 years of leadership?

What did OBJ do for an average Yoruba man for 8years in office?

Did GEJ improve the lives of the Niger Deltans?

The elites from other regions are gaining more from Buhari's regime than an average northerner.

Igbo presidency won't improve the life of an average Igbo man.

The country is on its last legs,what is holding it is the common greed of the elites.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

Those that understands d times r already realigning n some IPOB urine drinkers r here making noise.

Dee Hope,Birikwa o!

Doesnt matter who takes 2019 or 2023, the suffering will only increase because Nigeria does not work as a nation.

you are mad.
