sleeping president

Holly Gram WTF MAN

Igbo can split the 23election vote

I really wish the ibos would be given a chance to have a shot at being President...however, the ibos themselves are their own greatest undoing...they aren't showing seriousness about the project! An ibo President will turn Nigeria's fortunes around...I'm doubly sure of that.

SE is yet to have a consensus candidate for this post, he might be the one they need to rally round just like the south west is doing for BAT.......all the best to all contestants

Peter Obi is bright, but like El Rufai, he is a tribal bigot that is not loved across ethnic divides.
Umahi doesn't speak polished english, but he is a not a bigot and he will perform very well in times of security and infrastructures.
Osinbajo will just be organising peaceful town hall meetings.
Atiku will be reassembling and settling looters.
Tinubu will assemble technocrats and he will likely perform but with high affinity to loot by using alpha betas, gamma deltas.

Waste of time

They should start campaign in Northern states leave Eastern states oh get a good PR of Northern states that's where the population stand

Forget this. Igbos are not good politicians. This is because of only one reason which is thier inability to accommodate other tribes without looking down on them or thier culture. They are mostly anti social. They can't mingle with other tribes without coming up with a feeling they are better or more special than other people. This mentality doesn't work in politics. That's why they hardly make it when it comes to national politics. They always bring up a tensed atmosphere when ever there's a gathering with other people.

The minister they have, Ngige is one of the most annoying, ill mannered public office Holder I've seen. Look at the way he address people especially workers. He has no manners and always feeling like he's better than other people, counting his achievements and always reminding us he's a doctor. That's very annoying.
Nnamani may be a good person, but the inability of Igbo people to socialise with other tribes without any ridiculing is the problem
That's why Nigerians hardly will vote for any Igbo

Peter Obi would make a great president if he contests and wins.When he was governor in Anambra, he handled the state's economy and finances so well,and built up a robust financial reserves.

No one is holding him from contesting. But since he decides to hide behind Atiku, that's his business.

Good as president.

PDP has been using the South East to play ping pong

You are ignorant.

Actually I don't see apc given SE a chance for the presidency but pdp shld come together and give SE that chance.

How a major ethnic group boxed themselves inside such a corner should be studied in universities.

Any how sha! This country is a gonnar

Nice one

The SE can do better... much better...

Oga pius, how for for the centenary city when una be wan build for airport road Abuja. I hear say na you be the chairman of the committee, sir, as dem no build again, wetin come happen to the money na

Concerned citizen

Anyim should take several seats.. he cant win his state convincingly... the people in the north will hardly know who is a Anyim Pius Anyim. She's only popular in his local government and igbo social media...

Crappy journalism ...

It should have been indicated that it was an opinion of a single individual....

Your narrow+minded opinion is what the time expended reading it

If out almost 50:million Igbos you can find some to entrust with leadership if the country, then you have a congenital problem begging for attention.

You see speak like a person with some scintilla of education and not like a stark illiterate ...

Let's chip in our bits and #HardTruths as ever.....

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

what is all this nonsense why so much hate for the igbos?

kingsmaila:
Ayim P.A is a candididate but Ipob will affect his chances of becoming the President.

Boko Haram was asking for Islamic country, they were hoisting flags all over,they were adopting and killing people in the North,did Boko Haram affect the chances of Buhari ? Did Nigerians not make Buhari President ? Anyim Pius Anyim has never made any comment to suggest he is agitating for another country outside Nigeria so,why should IPOB affect his chances of becoming the President? Is it because he is Igbo ? When will this hate against the Igbo stop ?
