Stop dabbling into things above your intelligence.

Herbart Maculey died in 1946 and left Zik incharge of NCNC while Awolowo was involved with egbe Omo Odudufraud. In 1953, the first election was held by the British and NCNC won majority in both east and west. While NPC won north.

Zik was going to be the premier of west where he was based at the time and spoke fluent yoruba. Eyo It's was going to be premier of the east.

Awolowo spent days whipping up tribal sentiments against Zik. The night before inuguration of parliament, most of the yorubas left NCNC for Action Group.

That singular act made Zik to despise Awolowo and paid him back latter in 1959 (6 years later)

Please see below for actual results of the elections. Perhaps you can supply your own results.

The Western house had 80 seats in total and any party with a 41 majority would have formed the government.

There were three elections for the 80 seats:
Western region elections on 24th September 1951 – 72 seats
Lagos elections on the 20th November 1951 – 5 seats (all won by NCNC)
Benin elections on the 6th of December 1951 – 3 seats (all won by Etu Edo)

Breakdown of 72 seats
AG won 38 seats including 3 won by its secretaries (Adegbenro, Hassan, and Osuntokun) who contested as independents.
Mabolaje Grand Alliance MBA (aka Ibadan Peoples Party) won 6 seats – Akinloye, Lanlehin, Akinbiyi, Akinyemi, Adelabu, and Aboderin
NCNC won 18 seats plus 7 Independent seats making 25
Ondo Improvement League won 2 seats
Adeola Odutola – Independent candidate representing Ijebu-Ode

At the end of the night on the 24th of September, 5 of the 6 MGA had declared for the AG while Adelabu declared for NCNC. Awosika of the Ondo improvement league and Adeola Odutola had both declared for the AG giving the AG 45 seats.

Of the three seats in Benin won by Etu Edo, Ighodaro declared for AG while Omo-Osagie and Ekuyasi declared for NCNC.

At the end of December 1951, seats were as follows
AG – 46
NCNC/Independents 34

The Western house was inaugurated on the 7th of January 1952 and elections to the Federal House were held on the 10th of January 1952. Three members of the NCNC crossed over to the AG and these were Kessington-Momoh, Ako, and Awodi Orisaremi (all representing Urhobo/Kukuruku division in the Mid-west). None of them was Yoruba and that clearly defeats the lame and ridiculous lies that the AG, and by extension Awolowo, introduced tribal politics in Nigeria. These three crossed over because they needed AG votes to get into the Federal House. Ako and Kessington-Momoh were elected but Orisaremi lost and returned to the NCNC. These three crossed when the AG had a clear majority and had to pay fees to join the AG.

The real reason Zik resigned was because he lost that election to the Federal House. NCNC had five seats from the West and Zik couldn’t gain any of these seats losing to other NCNC members such as Fadahunsi, Olorunnimbe, Oputa-Otutu, Denis Osadebey, and Adeleke Adedoyin.

selemempe:
is that why the first mayor of Enugu town was a fulani man in 1960? Around the same time the 'detrabilized' yorubas were decamping from NCNC to avoid Zik Omo Igbo becoming premier of western region.

Yorubas even went to extreme lengths of drawing tribal marks on their faces to look different from Omo Igbo

Are we cursed with tribalism in the west?

Asgard73:


They very ignorance I always talk about... they don’t know nothing .. but will be fronting like intellectuals.. engage them and see how shallow and myopic...
... and they also know how to twist history to fit their narratives.. even something we witness live..
I don’t engage them .. because along the line the resort to insults abuses .. their history is a pain they bear.. corner them and see their through humans.

Why do you guys just love to propagate outright falsehoods? Abi dem take LIES cursed una people, ni?

selemempe:
of course. You love Awolowo because he is a tribalist...says a lot about why you people still carve up your faces in the 21st century

selemempe:
a random picture is an Igbo woman? How do I know that woman isn't from heebadan?

selemempe:
do you have any instance of yorubas voting a non yoruba to win anything (even mayor) in SW?

Do you realize that Enugu was the capital of the whole eastern region at the time? That was like a non yoruba being the mayor of Ibadan.

You tribally charged tribe of the west don't realise why Igbos are always the largest tribes after the indigenous peoples in every community in Nigeria....it is the same reason why we don't have tribal marks.

WE ARE NOT TRIBALISTS!

We are the biggest supporters of your Odudufraud Republic. That is why you guys mock igboho that he is only deceiving Igbos. Afonja masses can't do self determination!!

You are the only tribe in Nigeria that willingly submitted to British to be colonized
