The delegates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) representing the South-East have turned down an invitation from APC chieftain and presidential hopeful Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The region had been sidelined in Mr Tinubu’s nationwide tour and as such, ignored an invitation summoning them to Abuja on Saturday.

“We have asked him what disdain he has for our region that makes it impossible for him to visit us,” an APC delegate who received the invitation disclosed to Peoples Gazette. “We won’t be going to him in Abuja because he isolated our region during his nationwide tour.”

Another source added that Mr Tinubu remained determined to pull APC into primaries where he could deploy his vast resources to clinch the ruling party’s presidential ticket.

Both sources requested anonymity to avoid any backlash for disclosing internal party discussions.

In a bid to secure delegates ahead of the APC presidential primaries, Mr Tinubu has made multiple visits across the country, touching base with his supporters in Kano, Adamawa, Delta, Ondo, and Kwara.

The disdain from the South-East delegates came as delegates in Kaduna withdrew their support for Mr Tinubu to favour another presidential aspirant Rotimi Amaechi.

Good move. No normal human being, group, body or organization wants to associate with a man that will never smell Aso Rock as president. No more agberoism in Nigeria.

Jagaban does not care about the inconsequential southeastern delegates and their 5% vote. They can all go and drown in the RIVER NIGER

you're demarketing tinubu with this hate against ndi Igbo.

I won't blame Ashiwaju for this.

He's just being extra careful dealing with his HATERS who hates him naturally for no reason.

What if he's in the East and Ipob Terrorists attack his convoy, in turn security operatives repelled them and kill some of the Terrorists.

Will Ndi Igbo regard those killed again as Terrorists?

No, they'll over-flag it, take it to another dimension that may result to ethnic war.


HATERS can go extra mile, Ashiwaju is just being careful.

you are here doing what you are accusing Igbo for.
Insulting other tribes cos of tinubu can't make him president.
It will rather breed more hatred for tinubu.
Remember Igbos are not only in southeast.

You will cry this weekend after Tge APC primary election.

Ungrateful fella.

Tinubu will never rule Nigeria. Instead we shall make a Fulani cow the President.

It was Igbo's that stopped abiola from ruling Nigeria, we'll do they again to Tinubu. Just watch.

Asiwaju makers of men , on your mandate till infinity. You got our support come rain come sunshine

Asiwaju omo olodo ide , on your mandate forever.

Asiwaju oko Remi , Jah bless the leader. We will never stop supporting our leader

Asiwaju, the slayer of mpukumiri addicts. no send any baga. Baba is not ,moved by what anybody says, he is just moving like a tornado.

Baba Tinubu ,Jah continue to bless you. No matter how much the weapon your enemies fashion against you, you'll eventually win over them. This man need to be studied by student of politics in our universities, we need to have a full syllabus on Asiwaju with reference to Nigerian politics

when the time comes he will care by force,he is not buhari that can get tribalistic block voted from the north. He will be contesting against a big northern candidate (atiku),Kano state votes promised by ganduje is no where in sight.
When time comes he will need even 3% votes from the east

The problem with SE votes is that most is going to Peter Obi, so neither Atiku nor APC primary winner will be relying much on it. You can't really blame Tinubu, he knows he is not getting anything there
