Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, says although he believes the South should produce the next President, the people of the South-East must note that they cannot get the Presidential seat by threatening others with secession.

El-Rufai further stated that politics has to do with negotiations and convincing others why they should vote for you.

He, therefore, stated that the Igbo would need to adopt this approach if they want their son to succeed the current President.

The governor said this during a webinar organised by the Africa Leadership Group. The event which was tagged: ‘Developing a Viable Nation 2’ was hosted by Pastor of Trinity House church Ituah Ighodalo.

Responding to a question on why the South-East is being denied the Presidency, el-Rufai responded, “I don’t think anyone has stopped the South-East from going for the Presidency. But you see, you cannot get the Presidency of Nigeria by threats or by shouting victimhood. This is a political process and you have to engage other parts of Nigeria to convince them to support you.

“That is what everyone does. That is what Jonathan did in 2011; that is what Buhari did in 2015 and 2019. That is what every President does. You don’t stay in your corner, abuse everyone in Nigeria and say give me Presidency. It is not going to happen.”

He noted that no region in Nigeria can attain the Presidency without the support of others.

The governor advised those who want to be President to get on the road and convince people that you mean well for them.

He, however, explained that the All Progressives Congress is weak in the South-East which may not favour the region.

El-Rufai added, “Presidency is not by allocation. It is the result of a political process. You join a political party, your party negotiates with other parts of the country and it happens. That is how it is done. And you cannot get it by sitting down or threatening secession. It won’t work.

“I think the South-East is going about it the wrong way because if you look at the APC for instance, we do not have many footprints in the South-East.”

Una papa own don finish. Na dwarf de clear the whole Igbo tribe that even if your father labored in hell you won't get Presidency.

El Rufai is heartless. This is not how to talk to us Igbos. He should talk to us with compassion considering how PDP is using Igbos to play games.

El Rufai is on Nairaland

If Tinubu was giving this same question, he would dribble them with grammar and at the end he wont give a specific answer

And this is the local fulani herder that chased over 45% of the population of southwest people away to faraway Togo and Benin Republic where they are now living as refugees.

MNK and his minions are responsible...

Your papa don suffer for. Midget hand. El Rufia de play ping pong with the slave entraped life of your fathers n enslavement of yourself, your born n unborn generations but you are here worrying your miserable n pathetic soul over me.

While your papa and mama run go Benin Republic on barefoot

El-Rufai is 100% correct though but Igbos will never accept his realistic talk because of the immaturity and sentimentality embedded deep in their DNA.

Only fools believe that getting the presidency is uhuru in this British business centre. The North West have been in power for long, What did they achieve? Poverty, illiteracy, poor and low human development indices at its peak. Who Presidency help
Biafra or Nothing.

Igbos have to fear El Rufai. The man has special hatred for us. Why must he make that kind of embarrassing comment?

I prefer the Rice.

It’s not a threat! This fool thinks the be-all-and-end-all for everyone is the Nigerian presidency! Give a referendum today to find out what Ndigbo actually want (that’s if they have the liver to support a referendum), and it will shock you what our overwhelming choice would be!

There comes a time in a mans life when -for the sake of his future generations- he has to make a stand as to whether he wants to continue living with hateful, vindictive and medieval-minded malcontents, or whether he wants to cut his losses and seek a separation from the cancerous tumour threatening his very existence!

Nigerian presidency ain’t worth the time and effort!

That is why your forefathers sold their birthright to Alimi the fulani over a plate of Amala and Ewedu and now you're doing the same.

The man is cut from the same hateful, jihadist themed cloth as Buhari!

Well the massage is directed to Igbos that still believe in one Nigeria.



As for north,they build their bridge by killing other tribes throw boko haram and herdsmen.








Nigeria must divide

I don't think that we Igbos should be boasting. We have to admit that we need the Presidency even if it is hard to admit. Hiding behind Atiku or any other northerner to get into Aso rock while saying something different won't help our agenda. Those northerners are quite smart. Let's just be open and tell them we need them to get power instead of unnecessary boasts.

They said he and his bid for secession are inconsequential in the larger scheme of things, yet they now accuse Ndigbo of threatening them with our bid for secession! Thought they said it’s all audio....what changed!?
