In no particular order; just randomly listed:

1. Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State (has executive and technical experience. He is an Engineer)
2. Governor (former) Peter Obi (has executive, business and VP electoral experience)
3. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (arguably the most accomplished (currently) economist from Africa, and the initiator of the forgiveness of Nigeria's debt by the World Bank during the Obasanjo's regime; has managerial, administrative, and foreign relations experience; multiple time minister in Nigeria)
4. Dr. Kingsley Muoghalu (former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, university professor, economist and having Presidential electoral experience; young and digitally wired unlike analogue Buhari)
5. Prof. Chukwuemeka Soludo (the most impactful Central Bank Governor ever, university professor, and serious economic guru)
6. Dr. Chris Ngige (former Gov. of Anambra; has executive experience, has administrative experience, was/is a medical officer, and actually a very serious minded person; he is in the ruling party)
7. Mr. Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra State (has executive and management experience)
8. Mr. Sullivan Chime, former Governor of Enugu State (has executive experience; left Enugu state much better than he met it; he is in the ruling party now)
9. Mr Ben Akabueze (former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning under Tinubu and Fasola; he is in the ruling party)
10. Mrs. Obi Ezekwesili (Yes, Oby hahahaha - Nigeria needs a revolutionist who can go against the established system, just like Trump)

Honorable mention:

Mr Uchechukwu Ogah [(current Minister for State for Mines and Steel; very successful industrialist; he is in the ruling party). However, too early to call until we see how he performs during this period]

This list is limited to South East Igbos who are either currently in Nigeria or those who have had significant Nigerian experience in the last several years. Igbos outside Nigeria without significant Nigerian experience are excluded.

Igbos of South East who MUST not be president

1. Orji Uzoh Kalu (former Abia governor; then PDP, now APC)
2. Rochas Okorocha (former Imo governor; APC)
3. Okezie Ikpeazu (current Abia governor; PDP)
4. Pius Anyim Pius (former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of GEJ)
5. Theodore Orji (former Abia governor; PDP)

I will support a Yoruba in 2023 if any of these is the candidate.

Umahi is simply a media governor.

In circles of what is really happening, they know better than you do..

That he puts up flyover and flag off flaggables is not criteria...


For now, he is a media governor and doesn't stand any chance...

Governors that plays on the instincts of masses are simply jokes..

Impressive list in my opinion. Who will bell the cat? In other words who will vote someone that has sense? People will rather vote Deziani if she contest against any of this credible - to some extent - options. They will be like 'she has repented, she used to be a thief but she is now a saint.'

Which Nigerian politician is not a media governor?

At least Umahi has a lot of already commissioned projects despite his lean purse.

Deziani has been rich even before she was unfortunate enough to handle Nigerias petroleum ministry. And her ministry fed the nation to riches. Since she left, you have been borrowing.

Diezani is not Igbo. She is Ijaw (even if maried to an Igbo)

That exactly is the problem. You will expect someone who has seen so much money to be able to handle money but reverse is the case. Why not resign instead of ending up on the negative side of history.

Is not everything that Worth's arguing..

Umahi is not yet seasoned because he uses a sterotype approach which we all know..

He can go to Senate is okay..



Is only people that knows the priority and yearnings of people that I place as been deserved not projects at the detriment of the people..


You start from bottom to top not the other way round.

There are much propaganda attached to him.

Umahi has one thing going well for him, he is AUDACIOUS.

He has this fearless attitude that can break down any problem. The man is a raging bull. This man can dare to move Nigeria with the speed it deserves .

He loves corruption.

His views on corruption during the presidential debates tells about how he leans.

Oh ok. For every of these 10 people on your list, there are thousands more, who are not very popular, that can deliver the country if giving the chance. Hopefully one day, common sense will begin to matter in our country.

As for been audacious, you can also lie to high heaven's.

I also watched the debate. If I sensed he was corrupt, let alone loving corruption, he won't be on my list. You can see how carefully chosen that list is. In general, Nigeria as a whole lacks a large pool of good leaders who are well known to the general public. There could be some secret good leaders but they need to come out.
