Tinubu: I Honestly Don't Know Why The Southeast Is Quiet; Uncharacteristically Quiet - According to Professor Usman
Traditional leaders from the country’s north have been discussing the continued hardships, which include food insecurity and other issues, in recent weeks.

In the midst of all of that, Professor Usman was asked why the North and South West have been the regions that have spoken out the most during his discussion of the state of the economy on Arise News.

Surprisingly, the South East and South-South have been quiet, and if there could be a reason for that, and if the agitation for better governance continues through the North and South West, will there be a political implication for the president?

Responding to that question, the former executive secretary, NHIS, Professor Usman Yusuf said, “I honestly don’t know why the Southeast is quite, uncharacteristically quiet, but then, the president needs to find out. The North is where I know I live, and the silence in the North is more literal than the noise anywhere else in the country”.

Please can you tell me how Obi would have tackled insecurities especially in the North. You people should talk speaking as if you're the mouthpiece of Obi. Are you the one that wants to do the work?
Didn't you read his manifesto?

Didn't you see videos on him speaking in the northern forums during campaign?

Go and search and listen to his campaign videos again, no come dey talk rubbish here.

Meanwhile emiloka didn't tell you guys anything but you feel he's the best, so enjoy the country as it is

If the North have a problem with the Thief, they should drag his lazy leaky azz out of office, just like the dragged him in.

Tinubu is doing the opposite of the agreement of the m+m that's the problem.

The thing is that just like we saw the Buhari disaster from one thousand miles away in 2015 and refused to vote for him…

So also did we see the Tinubu catastrophe from a million miles away and shouted on top of our voices that he should be rejected. We equally refused to vote for him.

But fuuls said he tamed Atlantic and rigged him in.

Now, it’s the ijiots who fuulishly believed that Tinubu had anything to offer that are disappointed and protesting.

The Igbos already foresaw and foretold the disaster and prepared for whatever comes with it. So, we are not disappointed.

We are just quietly learning the lessons you want to teach us.

Interesting ! but before i push these conversation further, government did not begin with Buhari and Nigeria did not start with APC

My Question, prior to 2015 was South East ever part of any protest that resonate with national interest, even during the GEJ subsidy protest did the South East joined occupy nigerian

If antecedences is anything to go by, East don't have it in them to protest for Nigeria lets face the truth

Ndi Hausa, Ndi Yoruba and the rest of the country, they all voted based on who they felt would do a better job, stop with the Vanity and God complex, no one was thinking about Ndigbo suffering when choosing who to vote.

As proven by APC still winning bye elections deep into President Tinubu's tenure, it is about who people feel will benefit them.

Let them keep on feeling then and not disturb Ndigbo. Someone will repeat a mistake several times over and you say that person doesn't deserve to suffer?


Voting APC because of what their emotions tell them instead of the reality on ground is nothing short of self hate i.e cutting one's nose to spite their face..

so you think Nigerians are suffering solely for the subsidy removal?..

if you remove subsidy.. like Tinubu did, where's the money?..
where's the CNG buses purchased to ease transportation fares..
Insecurity is the main reason of hunger in the land, farmers has left the farm.. and the borders are shut
All these are down to Tinubu's incompetence..

He removed subsidy to raise monthly allocations to states and federal government,
Sharing monies to cronies increases poverty..
Tinubu is a disaster

Thanks for admitting that he increased your state allocation as a result of the removal of subsidies.

Did Igbo people help Tinubu achieve his APC turn by turn Emilokan dream, by voting for communist LP Peter Obi despite Soludo’s warnings

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
