Why Was Awolowo Not Good To Be President But Peter Obi Is? by ChukwuObe: 11:46am On Jan 04, 2023
Could someone give reasons as to why many people that are campaigning for Peter Obi today could not do so for Awolowo if truly what they are concerned about is prudence and good governance with all the wonders Awolowo did in Western region? And are there any reasons why any candidate put forward by Yorubas are not good enough for Igbos but now they want Yorubas to vote for theirs?

Why do you guys love attacking the Igbos? I haven't seen any post being directed to the northerners when they make jest of your candidate? First of all why will Apc present someone that is not sellable, why didn't they present Osibanjo? The west were in power for 8 years and Vp for almost 8 years and yet are still pushing to be president again? While you all accuse the Hausa-Fulani as power hungry people. I am of the belief that most of these monikers are run by foreigners to incite hatred amongst Nigerians. Majority of those monikers disguising as another tribe usually post meaningless things just to create unnecessary arguments. Nigerians should wise up and vote the right people. So you expect the easterners and other intelligent peace loving Nigerians to miss this opportunity of electing the best candidate in this Era? Why even use an Igbo moniker, if not for mischief and a way to deceive people you are Igbo? This election has exposed the true nature of those that keep disturbing everyone with one Nigeria slogan. And yet hatred is what is being mostly displayed. Awolowo was a great man. Leave him out this election. We can't vote in funny characters, the seat of the president is a serious business and not a comedy platform. Please vote wisely.

Please I don't know what you are saying. The peace loving and intelligent Yoruba people will vote for Peter Datti joyfully. Late Awolowo is a great man and we respect him. I doubt if you are a Nigerian. It's only you that knows Peter Obi is bad, other hardworking Nigerians knows Peter Obi is the best among all contestants. So leave all these unnecessary trolling and vote Peter Datti. All these politicians; Tinubu, Atiku, Peter etc are all doing very well and are mega billionaires. We just dey here dey fight ourselves unnecessary. Please vote Obi and enjoy the sweetness of Nigeria. Thank you.

You still didn't answer his question despite this long story

Why was Awolowo not good enough? Why didn't ibos vote him?

Why wouldn't ibos vote any candidate put forward by the Yorubas (everytime you people will say you voted Obasanjo but Obasanjo wasn't yoruba's but Olu falae)

You rejected Awolowo, Olu falae and now Tinubu

But you want others to accept your Obi?

Do you know Obi is not the only igbo candidate? But that is the igbo's choice...
That's how Olu falae was to Yorubas in 1999

You must be funny, do you expect all sensible Nigerians to vote your candidate irrespective of the mental capacity? Can you confidently present your candidate to the international community? Nigeria can't afford to miss this opportunity to take the country forward.

Children of nowadays

Anthony Enahoro was tutored by Awolowo as a small boy..

Go and read the autobiography of Sir Ahmadu Bello.... he described Enohoro as an errand boy that Awolowo was using....

Ahmadu Bello also said Enahoro was given the paper where Awolowo wrote what Enohoro was to say....referring to the motion of independence.

Always looking for ways to massage your ego. It's Awo that wrote something on paper for Enahoro. And he couldn't say it himself? He was forbidden from airing his own opinion?

Like I wrote earlier, Awo has no place in pan Nigeria political history. He would've been president but he confided himself in the west, the only place he had political clout.

The OP asked why the Igbos didn't vote him. Did the Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, Ikwerre, Igala, Tiv, etc vote him? The answer is no. He had no national appeal. He was a project for western Nigeria only; reason he lost the election. Besides, in an unbiased review of Nigerian political history, there's nothing spectacular about Awo. Truth be told.
