Keep quiet clown. Election reach una begin the old trick. You think people will fall for it. Tell Atiku and PDP to find their bath towel where they dried it. Igboland and Nigerians will rather vote for Peter Obi than be scammed by their Ika sell out.
I am not here to campaign for Atiku, but don't spill rubbish because of election.

Ifeanyi Okowa is Igbo, he is my inlaw but I prefer Peter Obi to him. My preferred candidates for 2023 Presidential election are; Prof Yemi Osinbajo and Peter Obi. I am routing for Obi because Osinbajo failed to win APC ticket.



You don't like PDP or Atiku should not make you disparage Igbos outside the Southeast

Bearing an English name doesn't make you English. Okowa isn't ibo.
He is from Anioma. And let me remind you that Anioma are Igbo communities in Delta state, they occupied Delta north senatorial district, which consists of the Enuani, Oshimili, Aniocha, Ika, Ukwuani Ndokwa linguistic zone of Delta state. Anioma means Good land in the Igbo language

Agbor is not Igbo but Ika ethnic nation. Stop deceiving the gullible. Where have Okowa claimed to be Igbo this PDP man. So because of election we should lie to ourselves.

I won't be surprised if Okowa claims Igbo as a script to win with Atiku. Show me one occasion where Okowa affirmed his Igbo origin. Show us a quote of Okowa calling himself Igbo.

Ifeanyi Okowa whose name is Igbo,speaks Igbo and always dressed like an Igbo Chief is not Igbo, are you happy now?

They are Igbos in delta state I agree such as the Aniocha and Oshimilli. But just like Emefiele, Okowa is a minority from Ika ethnic nationality with Benin origin.

The Dein of Agbor affirmed the Benin origin of his people.

Meanwhile being Igbo or not should not downplay his political decision. But Okowa will do well if he affirms his Ika ethnic status rather than claim Igbo which his people have denounced.

Stop talking nonsense. I am an inlaw to Ifeanyi Okowa, one of my elder bro married into his family and when we went for the bride price payment tradition some many years back before Okowa joined politics, the elders of their family said we are one family, that even though the River Niger separated us, that we remain one united Igbo tribe in dialect and other ways.

I don't know why many of you just cringe at the mention of Igbo even when the name and culture shows Igboness, na wa oh.


For your info, Atiku chose him cos Atiku saw him as Igbo and since he doesn't have the choice of picking from SE ever since Obi decamped, he decided to pick a Delta Igbo man to also align with Igbos.


Atiku picked him because he funded him in the primaries. Atiku is broke. He wasted his loots on his 1000 failed bids in the past. There are no Igbo politicians more refined and popular than that Okowa who isn't even popular in Delta state? Stop kidding yourself guy.
We agree he is Igbo that means two Igbos have contested as VP under Pdp now. No tears and cries for Igbo presidential candidate

Okonjo iweala is also from Ika, and has never denied her Igbo roots. A lot of Ika people embrace their Igbo roots too. Ifeanyi Okowa is an unapologetic Igbo man and it will boost his chances rather than diminish it.

Keep replying yourself with your Ndibunna handle PaChukwudi.

Okowa should contest as an Ika man and not Igbo. What is too difficult for you to comprehend?

Are you not an APC mongrel? cheesy
