Why didnt u think of this in 2015 ...now u want to see the big picture

Its not your turn its the turn of the south east ...south west has ruled ...u guys are just being greedy ...if we act like u we both lose out ...so we would work with north

This is 1960 all over again

2015 was a rational and practical decision.
Even Jonathan himself has come to realise and accept that he was the architect of his own downfall in 2015 and not becaus eYorubas dont like him.
Igbo people like you have very short memory and seems to forget that:

- It was a Yorhba person that made him Vice President to Yar Ardua (Obasanjo).

- It was Yorubas like OBJ, Soyinka and a host of others that stood by him and insist he must be made President, when Yar Ardua died and Northerners were scheming to make another Northerner from outside, to replace Yar Ardua. It was Yorubas that put their lives on the line for him, even though he is not Yoruba
- In 2011, when he sought (re) election, it was Yorubas massive vote that made him win otherwise, Buahri, a Northerner would have won because the North will always vote for their own.

So, Yorubas have always supported Jonathan, he just messed-up in 2015 and was not voted for, to save the drifting nationhood.

Since the mentality of the East is to "lose out" just because they dont want the Yorubas to win, then l am sorry to say, fiffty five years of losing out has not taught them anything.

The fact is Sowore is Ijaw from Ondo.

Just as you have Ijaw in Edo state.

He should be considered as one from the Ijaw stock.

He speaks Yoruba fluently, married a Yoruba, bears Yoruba name and associates with Yoruba. He is a pure Yoruba like every one of us.

When I see sowere I see a fellow Yoruba brother.

Psalmy2cute:

Bro you're starting to sound like you're begging the south to support a yoruba candidate

No, we are all expressing opinions and exchanging ideas.
Whetehr the South decide to support a Yoruba candidate, l think the decision should be based on BEST SELF INTEREST.

Well he is not Yoruba much as you may desire to make him one.

GREED is a very toxic attribute and it is why l think your permutation up there may not come to reality.
Tinubu is only interested in himself and what is in it for himself, not the betetrment of the South West.

His Greed will not allow him to support Prof Osinbajo, evenwhen it is obvious that he has shown 'capacity to lead'.
Now, will he put Fashola forward as a replacement to himself, even if just to bring Osinbajo down?
I dont think so because if anyone has undermined Fashola since his attempt at second term when he was Governor of Lagos, it is Tinubu.

Tinubu just does not like or want any other Yoruba person to have infulence or be recognised more than him.
All his Politics are based on that singular, greedy ambition and that is why he pulls them down as quickly as possible.
He wont Support either of Fashola or PYO, both of who are more sellable than him but would rather support a Northerner.

I'm sure Tinubu is smart enough to know that he doesn't need to contest in election to be the president. Tinubu has been the Godfather of Lagos politics for so long. He even controls who becomes governor in Lagos. You saw how he kicked out ambode. They don't call him Jagaban for nothing. While I know he is driven by his on personal greed and not progress of southwest,it's his personal greed that is moving him to control the presidency. In summary, Tinubu doesn't need to be the president to be the president in a similar way he doesn't need to be the governor of lagos to be the governor of lagos. You get what I mean. He is all about power and all that noise about contesting is just a smoke screen for his true ambitions.

Zoning is a gentleman agreement between the North and the south. The two northern presidents since 1999 have all come from the Northwest (in fact, from the same state). When it is the turn of the south all the ethnic group from the south should fight for it not to come up with another micro zoning.

2023 should be the turn of the south, be you south west, south east or south-south everyone in the south should fight for it. No one is micro zoning it your geipolitical zone

Do u even know who zoning is the brain child of ?
Its Alex akwueme ...its based on geopolitical zone ,one south ,one north

Its only greed that would make south west contest after spending 16 years in the presidency ..when Igbo's have none

Na only una dey south ...

The main point of zoning is so that every geopolitical zone get to rule this country ...now u are twisting it to fit your narrative

Thought u guys say what's turn power is given u only need to build bridge ...how far your 2015 bridge is it still standing strong ?

I don't like political Godfather but I would never join the enemy of Yoruba to bring down the true son of the soil.

Tinubu might be greedy just like every Nigeria politician but why do a section of the country always criticize him and leave bigger criminal in their region.

We don't practice merit-based democracy in Nigeria, what we practice is to use what you have to best protect your interest, in the north, they have Islam and a uniting factor why we Yoruba have our ethnicity as only thing uniting us. I will never criticise Tinubu just because some envious southeasterner wants him out of the way to lay claim to Lagos.

If Mr Tinubu do anyhow they will give him late MKO Abiola treatment, in the jungle na battle

Why must we back an Igbo man, why can't we back a Yoruba man, an ijaw man or a Benin man?

We will back a Yoruba man in the person if either Tinubu, Fashola or Osibanjo. You are free to back the north if you feel your interest will best be protected by them.

Lol Una think say Una get sense
Zoning was brought to bring equity to nigeria but south west wants to dominate the south the way fulani dominate the north

The truth is Igbo's are not desperate for the presidency ...we don't care who really occupies it ...but we hate greed and selfishness

U stupidly betray southern interest for personal gain in 2015 now u want the south to reward you in 2023

Una sense eeh

Shabi politics is about building bridge ...how far the 2015 bridge let it carry u and cross 2023 na

Alex ekweme contested against Obasanjo in the primary of 1998 and lost, I never read it anywhere that he was the brain behind zoning, if you have any document to support your point, please forward it here so that we can all learn.

I would prefer a country where each region controls its affairs or outright disintegration but since we are part of this country we will always aspire for the highest post in the land.

E get why!

He lost yea so the west took the turn ...reason no Yoruba or igbo man contested against Jonathan

Even Yoruba's themselves know its south east turn ...only south east candidate can unite the south as it is today

I agree 100% with what you've written. It's unfortunate but it's what it is. Unfortunately it seems the igbo leadership and politicians need to get their head in the game in this British contraption call Nigeria. They seem to know nothing about politics in Nigeria yet they have more power than they lay claim to. Their major disuniting factor is their utopian country Biafra which shall never come.

Quite unfortunate
I can't really say much on news like this,but dear Asiwaju,I wish you get this my open letter,and as a ardent believer in your school of politics,I think it is necessary for me to state my opinion.
Dear Asiwaju
We regarded it as rumour when we had you are planning to contest for president come 2023,well,to many like us,it a welcome development, simply because you have paid your dues and more importantly you are true Federalist.But on the other hand Asiwaju,it would have been best if you maintain your position as the Afobaje of this entity called naija.Alot of things are reasons why it best you remain as Afobaje.Baba,Kindly support our very own Fashola or prevail on Attahiru Jega(if must a northerner)to reposition this country. History will be kind to you Baba.But if you so decided you are contesting.we will be left with no option than to support you.
From a ardent supporter

You touched my heart with what you wrote here.
May God Almighty bless you and your generation, in fact I am short of words to write.

I love that man called Tinubu, anyday anytime I will support him.
