For those that say Igbos hate Yoruba's and trying to incite tribal wars in this 2023 Election, note that Igbos are not your problem.

For the fact that APC failed to present a credible candidate both in 2015 and this 2023 shouldn't be used to insult the sensibility of Igbos.

In 1993, MKO Abiola (SDP) contested against Bashir Tofar(NRC) and Sylvester Ugoh, an Igbo man was the running mate of Tofar and yet Igbos voted for MKO because he was more credible. MKO even won in Anambra state.

Same thing happened in the time of Obasanjo against their brother and leader Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Now that an Igbo man is in the race of 2023 election, and that same Igbo man is the most credible, what's wrong if Igbos support him?

Out of the total votes of 1,530,119 in the then 4 SE states. Abiola got 739,748 votes.. That's about 48% votes..

SW is yet to give any SE candidate even 5%..
Yorubas should return the favor then we will get talking..

Politics should not be a game of Ethnic scratch my back and i scratch yours, ignore all candidates that rely on the politics of old that led to our current predicament, any candidate that has consistent principles and a proven track record is good enough for presidency. regardless of tribe.

The same people that stone ABIOLA when he went to campaign in the east, may be you are a kid at that time and now. you don't have the opportunity to read history.

They stoned him and still gave him half of their votes, they didn't stone buhari what did buhari get?

The south west owes the south east about 10 million votes, we voted for Abiola, Obasanjo Osinbajo. Our yoruba brothers should vote for Peter Obi.

The Southwest doesn't owe the southeast anything. Just that Obi is better and more credible, plus the Muslim-muslim ticket can never materialize in Jesus name!

Me and my family are voting to stay alive, we are voting OBI

Gbam!
SE gave Abiola 48%, gave Obasanjo over 80%(twice)...
SW should return the favor, @least 40%.

My point is I don't believe they stoned abiola, if they stoned him, he won't get half their votes..

Buhari ran twice and they didn't care, despite all they saw... Makes no sense...

You don't have to lie.

All these Yoruba Muslims and their taqqiya.

Why did Oba of Lagos ask Igbos to drown in a lagoon? and why did Jagaban not condemn it?

We now know that you see us your fellow brothers as infidels just because of religion. If anyone tells me that you Muslims Yorubas will one day fight against us your brothers cos of religion I wouldn't believe it. A child of oduduwa an infidel cos of mere religion, just to please the north I am now my brothers worst enemy. Why must jihad start in our land why?

Why are Yorubas tribalists? Because your selfish interest of having Atiku take over after Buhari will soon hit the rock. Are you not the biggest tribalist here, why not support a southerner after the expiration of a northern rule? Where is equity and justice? Nobody is asking you to support Tinubu, is Obi not contesting? Why are you not supporting him?,,,,Oh, he’s not a northernern. My joy is, most Arewas are far more reasonable and liberal than you.

Don't know about that, but buhari and apc is a typical example of what Igbos reject.

And abiola votes proves there was no rejection, considering his opponent had a Igbo VP.

There are only two candidates running Atiku and Tinubu, one thing majority of Nigerians can agree is tinubu and apc are no go areas.

Check my previous posts, I was supporting Obi during PDP primaries, but he lost..

Anything to kick out APC is what all Nigerians want
