Post Election Momentum Shows Why Regionalism Trumps by zanshi: 2:31pm On Jan 29, 2023
A lot of politicians across the divide are already commiting anti party activites and the top echelon of the party doesn't seem to bat an eyelid or reprehand their gaffes. What in itself is tantamont to anti-party activites? It is when a party member whether or not he hold an office flouts party rules or support the another member of another party instead of his party candidature. If you look across the country it isn't strange to see that most folks vying for public office whether it be APC or PDP have different folks who they openly support as President which doesn't recognise their party presidential candidate, and if you look closely, it is no secret that APC candidates up north have ATIKU as their candidate in their election posters and folks down south who are PDP members in the east have LP- Peter Obi as their candidate whom they support for presidency.

But this in itself has shown a vulnerability that Northerners are voting for northerners and Southerners are likewise doing the same. Buhari's antics and stance post election has shown that he is not willing to play fair in a multi diverse country's but would rather lean towards his kinsmen that run an equitable country where dividends of democracy as spread across board rather than his homebase. This has further shown that the yearns for regionalism by separatist leaders like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are not far fetched. The West region and Eastern region performed excelently well in maximizing of resources and the governance of their own people because pre colonial years these kingdoms lived amongst each other and respected their boundaries with their kinsmen. At the end of the day regionalism trumps over one naijaeria.
