Thinkam:
If Obi gets 20k votes from South west, let motor jam me


Atiku is coming

Superwave16320:
This is coming from Igbos that stoned Awolowo with a Christian Christian ticket and support Kanu when he directed Kumuyi should be killed if he ever step his foot in alaigbo for a crusade. You fools have no idea how foolish you sound when you argue.

The joke is on your Igbo fathers.

Maazieze:
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.

yarimo:
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.

Lizzysamuel:
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?

yarimo:
stoning and giving votes are 2 different things. Why will eastheners stone ABIOLA ?

Lizzysamuel:


And Tinubu will lose the main Election..

You're free to cry tho. I don't care

DMerciful:
Look at the data and stop whipping sentiments. Abiola got 48% in SE!

Thinkam:


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.


Atiku is coming

omonnakoda:
Abiola proves there was rejection
In a contest between two candidates there is only one winner with no prize for second
Abiola was defeated by Tofa.

The important is is we respect the rights of people to vote for who they like

omonnakoda:
There were only two candidates
The SE rejected Abiola.
Tofa defeated Abiola in the SE

omonnakoda:
There were only two candidates
The SE rejected Abiola.
Tofa defeated Abiola in the SE

Thinkam:


So since buhari won, despite the little votes Igbos gave him, does that mean, Igbos accepted buhari?

Going by your impressive logic sir?

DMerciful:
You think 48% is a joke? My own father loved Abiola and voted for him!

DMerciful:
Dont be a joke man! Presidential election is based on number of votes and spread. It is not based on number of states won or region beside there was nothing like SE then. Even now, nothing like SE constitutionally

omonnakoda:
That is YOUR Aha made logic.
Only a block head will reason like that.
Your logic is not impressive,it is depressive
According to Your logic
Ibos accepted Abiola
So you can see that you are foolish

Thinkam:


Then express your logic, brilliantly to this block head Oh wise one!

If Buhari had gotten 48% of Igbos vote at anytime of his elections, there'd no one saying Igbos hate buhari.

48% of votes is too generous for some you hate or reject don't you think?

Even Jonathan didn't get 48% from SW in 2014.

omonnakoda:
What is my business with Buhari?
First I don't know where you got 48% from
Whether it was 49.9999%
The bottom line is Tofa won
I do not believe the 48% so you need to provide a source

omonnakoda:
There were two candidates so either he wins or he loses
Did he win ?
I don't know you get 48% from
There were 4 states in SE and he LOST in 3

He lost in the SE

omonnakoda:
What a revelation!

Did Tofa defeat Abiola in the SE or did Abiola defeat Tofa?

DMerciful:
Hope you know that the first primaries that IBB annulled, the Yorubas did not protest because the annulment favored them; they lost the first primaries. It was yhe second primaries Abiola won. So you can see the sentiment...when the lost the first primariesand it was annulled, they were happy

DMerciful:
He did not lose in SE because there's no criteria like that. The criteria is number of votes and 25% in 2/3 states. So saying whether he won states or not is pedestrian

Thinkam:


Then you're the blockhead, debating on what you know nothing about.

Go and study grandad..

SLAP44:


Every Igboman in those days loved Abiola and Shina Peters. I know because my dad told me.

Thinkam:


Yeah bro, I hope he doesn't postpones

yarimo:
stoning and giving votes are 2 different things. Why will eastheners stone ABIOLA ?

omonnakoda:
Actually there is such criteria . Simple majority is the next consideration when two candidates fulfil the spread criteria. You are either not fully informed or dishonest.
Certainly there was reaction and criticism within the context of a military government
