Prof is a committed democrat who understood that in a democracy, you have to build the bridges and win a nationally contested election to be president.

Peter Obi the religious bigot believed he can win election with only Christian votes and he waged religious war polarizing pastors to use their sacred altar for propaganda. He even went all the way to tell Bishop Oyedepo what propaganda to push on a certain day especially when you know the Bishop got thousands or millions of adherents.

Even Tinubu who chose a Muslim-Muslim ticket still appeal to the Christians and had to go all the way to CAN headquarters to explain himself.

There might be an Ibo president in the future, but it won’t be Obi because he already killed his chances by himself. I tip Prof. Soludo in that regard.


But Soludo is a feather weight politician, not everything is about polished English. Soludo lacks the character required to preside over the affairs of a nation. He talks too much and sometimes out of point. The peoples mandate is with Obi, and he's the only one the people want.

Should have stayed in pdp, so that they will keep zoning power away from south-east.
Him moving out of pdp was one of the best decision he made, as he wouldn't have been this popular if he was still in pdp, to point of shaking the ruling power and giving them sleepless nights.
He never gave the ruling party any sleepless night for once, only a person who is inherently ignorant of Nigerian politics, or one irredeemably deluded would be be worried that oBi was going to win. We kept telling you guys that Obi isn’t popular in the north, but you dismissed all warnings thinking Obi would win without northern votes.
Even though Atiku and Tinubu and Kwankwaso shared northern votes Obi still came distant 3rd.
I remember Soludo said it then that Obi’s presence in the race would swing the results in APC’s favor, but you people, rather than pick the sense in his postulation, rained insults on him. Now it’s exactly what Soludo said was going to happen that happened.
Analysts are even saying that it was APCs strategy to keep Obi up in the race. They gave him a false sense of importance and popularity and ensured he sucked all PDPs votes in the South.

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has advocated for the presidency to go to the southeast region to heal from the wounds of the civil war.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Soyinka suggested that the presidency going to the southeast will help to “rewrite the history.”


He said: “It is not just about reconstruction, it is also about rewriting of history.

“We believe that to close the circle of negativity that we have embarked on before and during the civil war, I believe, the presidency, as soon as possible, should go towards the eastern region which lost a war.

“This is one of the ways to heal the wounds of the nation – that is a principle and philosophy.”

According to the playwright, none of the leading presidential candidates in the just-concluded polls provided a believable agenda for restructuring, hence, he did not endorse anyone.


Soyinka said: “In fact, one of the reasons I refused to endorse any candidate is because none of the candidates addressed the things closest to my heart, like again, reconstructing the nation.

“I did not see any genuine commitment, any believable agenda about restructuring, decentralization of Nigeria which is at the heart of the problem for me at the moment.

“People were more concerned with just aiming for power.”

Greed won’t let the SE politicians do what is necessary to get power back to the east.
I don’t understand how a whole tribe will sleep and point heads in the same direction.
Power won’t go to the SE If they play the same type of politics in 2027.

Greed is when you steal a mandate by using thugs and threats to disenfranchise, kill and maim voters. Greed is when you buy a party's presidential nomination with money at all cost. Greed is when you bribe INEC officials to mutilate election results collation sheets to inflate your vote count and deflate your opponent's numbers.
Truth, honesty, integrity matters! Nigeria is such a joke, and crime scene because her citizens do not care about justice, equity, truth, honesty and integrity.

This should have been the struggle and not some warped narrative about some dude being competent, in all fairness an Igbo presidency would have healed all wounds, but hiding under some obidient endsars shit n all that christian tingy was hypocrisy. The Hausa Fulani's gladly demanded their presidency openly when Umar Yar'Adua died without flinching, this is what Indigbo should have collectively demanded! God bless Nigeria 🙏

And you think choosing a Muslim -muslim president is a way of healing the democratic wounds of the country? Will you personally accept a Christian -christian president? Be sincere to yourself. I am a Christian and I won't even accept it. Whatever tinubu explained to CAN as his reason is nothing but fallacy. You can't tell me that you didn't see competency in Christian politicians considering how religiously tensed Nigeria is. This was the same reason why they fought saraki. Know it, APC has set the stage for deeper division of the country along religious lines simply because of tinubu's political calculation to win election.

Peter Obi is the only candidate who consistently campaigned that Nigerians should not vote for him because of his ethnicity, region or religion - it was consistent and his trademark. While Tinubu has been the candidate who raised religious issues when he said, in the whole of Nigeria, no other faith is qualified to be his vice. So your ranting based on your deep fake audio (so fake it could be detected with amateur softwares) makes your judgement fake, criminal and watery.

If there is anyone that is ethno-religion bigot, please give it to Tinubu.
Why did Tinubu chose Muslim northern instead of christian northern?
Firstly, you people claimed it was because of competence. To the effect, you people wish to claim no single competent christian in the whole northern states that can serve as a vice president. It is more of a slap to the sensibility of the entire northern christian community. If you further claim, it was because of competence. Does that mean competence only reside with northern muslims and not with northern christians. You people must tell us something the more.
Secondly, you people claimed that northern Muslims would not vote for northern minority. You know what that means? If the north would never vote for northern minority christian, it means matter what, the north would never vote for a Christian president or vice from northern extraction and invariably Christian-Christian ticket can never work because the north would never vote for christian minority in the north, no matter the person competence.
Thirdly, whose candidate mobilize Islamic clerics to endorse Tinubu and declared their candidacy a Jihad?
Who was caught on tape maligning a whole tribe with Amosun and saying Igbo can never be president of Nigeria?
Which party were using Islamic clerics to preach for the endorsement of the Muslim-muslim ticket?
Many nasty things that was said by Shettima against Obi and his tribe but Obi never retaliated.
If there is anyone that was more ethno-religion in this year campaign is APC, Tinubu and Shettima. And this was what they have been doing since 2014. Since independence, the country has never been divided until 2015 that APC came on board to partition us through religion lines and ethnicity.
Records are there for any sane man to see.
APC was the first party through their members to say, they would make the government ungovernable and form parallel government but the then government kept cool and not rock the bolt.
Meanwhile, but Obi also visited Sultan of Sokoto, the highest Islamic body in Nigeria. Tinubu visitation was to seek for validation but could not get that because no reasonable Nigeria would support that annoyed combination of Muslim-muslim ticket in an egalitarian state.

UNITED NATION might break up Nigeria and create a new state for the Igbo in the nearest future if the south east does not get the presidency.

Take South Sudan for example, South Sudan was created following years of oppression by the government in Khartoum, Sudan.
