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.


Go and study how National Assembly operates...

Before they come to the floor to debates, the APC and The PDP cacus usually meet to determine who is going to move motion, who is going to second...most times the top guns don't do moving of motion.


As regards your other assertion....don't worry other tribes will reject Obi too...he is not even an Igbo project but an Ipob candidate

There is something "spectacular" about him,....he's the only one that took his life for the same reason as the OP will soon.

Can we just argue with points instead of being abusive? It'll help us to have healthy discussions.

Yoruba will never vote Ibo any time there is a none Ibo alternative
For Yoruba to vote Ibo all candidates must be ibo

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

Oga nobody is begging u to vote Obi.
Sane Yorubas & majority of sane Nigerians r voting Obi. That's all we need. Mind u, Govs Hope Uzodinma & Umahi,Sen Chimaroke Nnamani,Orji Uzor Kalu & some other Igbo politicians support Tinubu as well & we don't cry about.

ChukwuObe:
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?


O ni opolo l'ori..
