Now i know the poor are the major reason Nigeria does not move forward. How on earth would a sane human even think of making a looter their head, the worst news ever! A renowed philosoper once said, it is foolishness fighting for those that are not ready themselves to be liberated. In a country where the oppressed actually desired freedom, someone like Kalu should be stoned. I pity the future of our children

In 2011 election buhari didn't win any state in NC,most of his winings came from NW cause that's where he came from.Even in 2015, goodluck still won in some Northern states.North is never united that's what I'm trying to make you to understand. Stop saying northerns vote cause even buhari contested election like 3 times before winning it and the so called northern vote couldn't save him all those while.

Stinking, rotten lies from the pit of hell.

1. President Buhari won Niger State in the North Central. This is a state that always votes in the same pattern with the North West & North East bloc. Niger State is the biggest state in the NC.

2. In 2015, GEJ did not win a single state in the NW & NE. In fact, he only narrowly won 2 out of the 6 NC states in an election he was incumbent.

3. President Buhari retained his core 12 northern states in every election he participated in and only lost because he lacked southern spread, a problem that was fixed by the winning alliance with Tinubu.

The United Northern bloc vote is very valid and sacrosanct. Kiss the truth kiss

A mild drama ensued at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri as the Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu was held hostage by supporters who insisted he must declare his readiness to run for President in 2023 before leaving the airport.

The Chief Whip of the Senate and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu made his first entrance to the South-East, almost two months after his release from the Kuje custodial centre.


Senator Orji Uzor Kalu arrived the Domestic Wing of the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri at exactly, 1:32 pm via a private jet and was making his way out of the arrival when he was accosted by thousands of supporters. The visibly elated crowd made it nearly impossible for the former Governor to access his vehicle as they insisted he must declare his interest before they allow him leave.


The Senator, however waved at his supporters and asked them to in his words “Only thank God for me” before he was whisked into a waiting vehicle.

The office of the Chief Whip of the Senate had earlier issued a directive appealing to well-wishers and supporters to respect the COVID-19 regulations and avoid gatherings to celebrate his homecoming, a directive which they clearly were not ready to adhere to.

The drama continued as his convoy arrived Abia state as thousands of his supporters defied the rain to welcome him.

Shouts of “OUK our President” rent the air while his convoy made its way through the streets.

Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress (APC) Abia state chapter, in a statement signed by the publicity secretary Comrade Benedict Godson has welcomed the former Governor to the state.

The statement reads as follows “Today, our leader makes a triumphant entry into Abia, as a journey towards reclaiming our state begins In our part of the world. Today, after the much-failed efforts made to curse a man whom God has already blessed, that man is coming in to take his rightful place as our leader. He’s the APC leader in the South East of Nigeria, he’s Abia State political leader no matter the party you belong and he’s the man whom everybody gives the respect as Abia Original leader.

In Another statement released by the Movement for the Emancipation of Igbo People and signed by its National Coordinator Kelechi Okoye, the organization declared that “For those who sent Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to jail because of 2023, we shall use the same man to teach them a lesson about the resilience of the Igbo man.

We shall make sure he declares and runs for President come 2023 and we shall put them to eternal shame. In the coming months the whole nation will hear the voice of the Igbo people and it will be loud, clear and deafening”

The Senator is yet to make a statement to confirm or deny if he he will be joining the Presidential race in 2023, insisting he is still having a sober reflection on the events of the past months.

Why are you making reference to only 2015 election what happened to other years that buhari has been loosing in most northern states especially NE and NC..we are all know what happened in 2015,how middlebelteners and the rest of northerners were scammed by change mantra..
Voting in north has always been different, NE,NW and NC don't vote the same way..nothing like united north.. Goodluck won more states in the north in 2011 than buhari then in 2015,he lost in most northern States cause of bokoharam and herdsmen killings especially in NE and NC..

Psalmspsalms:
It really won't be easy at all for an Igbo man to become the president of Nigeria. If we must tell ourselves the truth, we are all gonna agree with me that the first thing that will come to a voter's thought is that if an Igbo man becomes the president, he's gonna make sure biafra comes into existence. To me and many people in Nigeria, even in 100years to come, an igbo man won't become the president of Nigeria. The damage has already been done.
Its just my thinking.
You are an idiot if you think an igbo president can create biafra.

Why would he?
Why would he want to lose his bread and butter?

Don't vote for igbos because you hate them is a better reason than claiming he will create biafra.

Unfortunately I'm not a political neophyte like you. The political horizon is already clear to the discerning.

You have no chance in our party, and to get the Presidency.

You need Northern support for the Presidency and you aren't getting it. Take that to the bank.

The North has three regions of the NW, NE and NC
