Buckeyemedia1:
Everyone can present their own case to be President, what does Obasanjo’s 8 years under pdp have anything to do with Bola Tinubu & APC? Was it not this same Obasanjo & pdp that froze Lagos State’s FAAC Allocation?

Keep waiting for Nigeria to come & dash you people President, ordinary Ohaneze President you can’t choose, you are disturbing us with the presidency of The Federal Republic of Nigeria?

It is about ethnicity or that's what the op brought up in the first place but my opinion is vote the best leader not by ethnicity

And currently the candidates being presented for 2023 are

Osinbajo or Tinubu
Atiku or Obi
Moghalu

For me only Moghalu and Obi will be good leaders for Nigeria
Osinbajo will be okay he will be better then any other past leader but won't bring in the massive reforms Nigeria needs
Atiku and Tinubu will loot Nigeria dry, corruption will be rampant, terrorists everywhere and poverty numbers would spike

Buckeyemedia1:
You said Nigeria has 6 geographical zones, but you only mentioned 4, what of the remainder 2? Or you want to pick & choose what you want to believe?

In each and everyone of the Geopolitical zones in the north whether it be NW, NC or even NE the Hausa are still the majority ethnic group

jl115:
Kenya will overtake SA in about 100 years.... Not in terms of per capita but yes eventually in terms of sheer size of your economy driven by your population growth..... Just like Nigeria

But just like Nigeria, Kenya will forever be behind SA in terms of the things that actually matter, like infrastructure, wealth per capita, gdp per capita, hdi, technology ect ect

Who says forever? If Nigeria got 8 years of proper leadership like a Thabo Mbeki type of leader or a Deng or a Lee Kuan Yew or even an Awolowo we'd develop so rapidly South Africa would be left in the dust very quickly

I'm talking housing deficit gone
Power problems gone
Water problems gone

Nigeria's problems really aren't that difficult to solve if we could get a decent leader things would change and we're likely going to get one in 2023 with Moghalu as president

VULCAN:
They should promote someone you will not vote and who cannot win.

Tribalist like you

He won't win only because people think he won't win and then don't vote for him if people actually voted for him then things would be different

Buckeyemedia1:
Nort East, North West, or North Central?

North=Hausa
South west=Yoruba
South East=Igbo
South South=Ijaw

Those are the major ethnic groups in each geopolitical zone and only one of them hasn't gotten presidency how is that even fair?

If this actually happens it can really help Moghalu with his presidential ambition ADC winning in Anambra will send shockwaves across Nigeria and if the their candidate performs well then it's most likely that ADC will start winning in other states

Poiu11:
you have osibanjo , his word are bidding. have you listen to him. can you candidate speak without reading from a book.

Moghalu is ten times better then Osinbajo don't be foolish

Superwave16320:
Many of you Igbos are completely foolish
If you argue 6 geozone n the NW, SW, SS all produced president we still have NE NC n not necessarily SE yet to produce the president.

If the argument is based on old regional zone of North West Midwestern n East then the East already produced a president so what is your noise about.

It is by ethnic group not necessarily by geopolitical zone and the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria are Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. The Yoruba and Hausa have gotten a chance at presidency in democracy but not the Igbo

The guardian is an independent media and i'm not part of APC or PDP I personally support ADC

Soludo will most likely win but with the current crises rocking APGA it may very well give ADC a chance at winning and you'd have known this had you read the excerpt from the article that I wrote

Because three factions of APGA are about to collapse into ADC and on top of that PPA also collapsed into the ADC structure so already from the onset it seems most likely that this election will be hotly contested between Nwankpo and Soludo but we'll see

samuk:


Go back and read what I wrote again, I said the first time the Europeans visited the hinterland of Yoruba was 1824.

So Ijebu land isn't internal?

Although many, particularly Ozonkpu Victor Oye, dismissed the Umeoji antics as a storm in the teacup, the party hierarchy and Governor Obiano became apprehensive when the straying Umeoji travelled to Birnin Kudu in Jigawa State and resurfaced in Maitama office of INEC with a State High Court judgment declaring him the validly nominated candidate as well as an order mandating the commission to recognise Umeoji as the APGA governorship candidate.

As Umeoji generated headlines with his giant killer profile, information began to circulate, disclosing that Governor Obiano entered into a deal with APC and Presidency’s political playmakers in 2017. Part of the deal was said to be the effect that the governor would not try to implant a successor if he was supported to win a second term.

Yet, even as the claims continue to make the rounds, sources disclosed that after a huge contribution to President Buhari’s second term in 2019, Governor Obiano struck a strong bond of friendship with the President.

To add to the perceived newfound love by Obiano with the Presidency, Soludo was appointed into the President’s economic advisory team, which was also said to have been enhanced by the demise of the former Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari.

With all the news flying about the purported understanding with Obiano, the appeal by Umeoji against the Court of Appeal ruling that quashed his listing by INEC and upheld Soludo’s nomination raised fresh apprehensions that danger was not yet averted.

To compound matters, at the height of high profile killings in Anambra State, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami, told state House Correspondents that the Federal Government would not mind considering a state of emergency in the state to protect democratic order.

Obiano’s supporters went to town with the narrative that the APC administration wants to capture Anambra State by fire and fury, even as a chieftain of APC, Osita Okechukwu, used the opportunity of the verbal exchanges between Anambra State government and Malami to remind APGA to explore the possibility of fusing into APC.

Stung by the ominous implications of a state of emergency on his determined effort to deliver Soludo as his successor, Obiano rushed to the Presidential Villa, where after conferring with President Buhari, he announced with relief that nothing of such was on the cards.

The ease with which the governor secured an audience with President Buhari threw up fresh suggestions that he (Obiano) might be in a buxom political relationship regarding the Anambra State governorship.

To push the narrative in his favour further, the Supreme Court dismissed Umeoji’s appeal and affirmed Soludo’s candidacy, even as the court warned politicians to desist from forum shopping, an observation some commentators saw as an indirect rebuke of APC chieftains funding Umeoji’s legal theatrics.

However, the apex court ruling did not shut all windows to the existing disputation with APGA, because the matter between Ozonkpu Victor Oye and Chief Edozie Njoku, whom Jude Okeke faction claimed was suspended from office as the authentic national chairman of the party, was left hanging.

Both Oye and Njoku factions celebrated the judgment of the Supreme Court, ascribing same to victory for their cause and vindication for their belief that truth would prevail.

In fact, despite last Thursday’s judgment of the Supreme Court, three different factions of the party are still laying claim to its leadership. While the Oye faction has been savouring the judgment, the Jude Okeke faction remains resolute on installing Umeoji as governor, while the Edozie Njoku was still routing for Nicholas Ukachukwu’s candidature.

Each of the factions, The Guardian gathered, was not hiding its intention to work against APGA in the forthcoming election if it eventually schemed out.

As such, just like the Oye faction, both the Okeke and Njoku factions were also happy with the judgment of the apex court.

Reacting to the judgment, the factional National Publicity Secretary of Okeke-led APGA, Ikechukwu Chukwunyere, argued that the Supreme Court did not nullify Okeke’s chairmanship position. “What the Supreme Court nullified was the judgment of the Kano Court of Appeal on the basis that issues of political party leadership tussle is non-justiciable,” he said.

He noted that the said Kano Court of Appeal did not make Okeke chairman, stressing that the Supreme Court did not nullify the NEC meeting decision that appointed him (Okeke) as the chairman of APGA.

“The Supreme Court declared that issues of political party squabbles are non-justiciable hence did not declare Victor Oye as Chairman of APGA and neither did the Court of Appeal, Kano Division.

“The Deputy National Chairman of the Party, Alhaji Rabiu Aliyu has conceded to the chairmanship of the party of Chief Jude Okeke in line with the decision of the Supreme Court that internal party squabbles of political parties are non-justiciable and can only be resolved by political parties.

“The removal of Edozie Njoku from office by NEC of our party still remains valid as this issue of his removal was never decided by the court and still remains unchallenged,” Chukwunyere said.

Similarly, the camp of Njoku, which was joined by the Supreme Court as an interested party, contended that Njoku remains the authentic national chairman of APGA since the Jigawa State High Court judgment, which declared Okeke as the national chairman, but which the Supreme Court dismissed, was about a case instituted against his faction rather than Oye.

According to Njoku, Oye was not a party to the judgment of the Jigawa State High court, arguing that Okeke sued him and got an order removing him as the national chairman of APGA and went to Jigawa State High court to legalise his action, stressing that the Supreme Court verdict has vindicated him.

He disclosed that with the present position, the Justice A.R. Mohammed-led Federal High Court Abuja, which was mandated to conclude his application for the Order of Mandamus against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking to recognise him as the authentic national chairman could now move ahead and conclude the matter.

Edozie said the judge made it clear to the parties to return to the status quo, an interpretation he contended places him as the authentic national chairman, pending the completion of action compelling INEC to recognise him.

The confusion generated by the claims and counter-claims by the three factions has turned ADC into a beautiful bride, as there were indications that the three factions of APGA were good to go with ADC on agreed terms.

The earlier pronouncement by INEC that it did not recognise the emergence of Soludo candidacy was said to have pushed the leadership of APGA into adopting a ‘Plan B’, which was to support the ADC candidate, Akachukwu Nwankpo.

A chieftain of APGA in the state, who did not want his name mentioned, confirmed that talks were ongoing between a faction APGA and ADC, stressing that the only grey area between the two parties was that APGA wants 60:40 ratio formula while ADC insists on 50:50 equitable share of appointive and elective positions.

The impeccable source contended: “APGA appears to want to redeem its image by associating with ADC, a party formed and sponsored by the former APGA founder, Chief Ralphs OkeyNwosu, who was seemingly robbed in the 2002 governorship primary won by the new entrant, Peter Obi, who eventually became the governor.

“Nwosu has not been compensated, awarded a contract or given party patronage as one of the founders and major sponsor of APGA from the onset. Obiano was foisted on APGA; so he does not know the antecedents of APGA and the party’s benefactors.

“These wrongs meted to Nwosu and Akankpo appear to be weighing or holding APGA down which sees the ADC as part of its cleansing

BTW full article was too long to post this is simply an excerpt

Igboid:


It is a good observation.
Both groups have a precolonial pact that predates Nigeria.
While Ndiigbo had no contact with both groups before the whites arrived.

So the British reporting of Ijebu traders in Igbo land wasn't real? You had trade relations with every single other group in Nigeria and Cameroon thousands of years before the British arrived stop lying to yourself

integrity16:


Hmm, so being a retired major general with controversial ssce certificate qualifies one to handle the complexities of the Nigerian state.

This your reasoning is why you always vote incompetent people during election period.

Let him try, atleast he is more competent that the current president as political knowledge is not the major requirements to be eligible to contest presidential elections.

Nigeria is where she is because of your so called political jaggernuts.

Exactly what i'm saying

ThatFairGuy:
Who's this boy? Don't you have manners

I can't be a foool, I'm not your father

Any man that supports Tinubu over Moghalu is a fool

Odidigboigbo:
It's not all about me but average Nigeria voters.

If despite the hardships in Nigeria and we still have some nornetities supporting Buhari, and praising him to high even to the point of one fullish idiot equating him to Awolowo and Zik. That tells you how Nigerian love "their chains".

Those Nigerians are being paid but there are still millions who are ready for change and are just waiting for the right candidate to reach out to them plus Moghalu also doubles as an Igbo man so Igbo presidency problem will finally be solved

KingOKON:

Listen and listen good, stop writing RUBBISH

Continue crying this is history gotten from the elders of the Ekpe Society and other traditional leaders of the Ibibio, Ejagham and Igbo peoples

Same with obatala, all these are fairytales fit for children, not adults !

We've always wanted this strong Third Force.

However let it be after 8 years of Adekunle's administration



This is Adekunle in the picture below

You're a fool you want Tinubu to come into power so he can take all of Nigeria's resources and build a palace in Abuja mtcheww. We need a third force to take other Nigeria NOW and that third force is Moghalu

Eriokanmi:
Moghalu would be a credible leader but the question is...would he eva get there ?

If you and all your friends and family vote for him then his chances of winning increase massively

TooNoisy:
Moghalu should go and contest for State Governor first, like Soludo.

Soludo would hopefully become governor of Anambra state after his stay as Governor of Central Bank. Moghalu should understand that he stands no chance of winning. Besides he is too politically naive to lead a complex country like Nigeria. Being a Central Banker does not automatically qualify you to be president!

There's no reason for he needs to contest for governor is there? Even Buhari with his previous experience as head of state did he improve the nation? Experience as a head of state doesn't make you a good leader not to the slightest but having strong and sound understanding of economics and geopolitics and knowing the proper reforms Nigeria needs does help

SensualMan1:
If this man was in US he'll easily win a district election. But in Nigeria, he is seen as a smart Aleck. The youths will rather go for a senile old thief who lives in bourdillon who has mortgaged their future since 1999

Buhari/Osibanjo 2039

Go on twitter and see how the youths held a conference with youths in Zambia to talk on how best to bring each other together to get the right leaders into power and about 600 were there and this is just the start next year we're going to explode in grassroot campaigns

jericco1:
This man no dey tire


All these mushroom parties can't rival anyone abeg

Not with that attitude they won't but with the support of the people and us joining in grassroot campaigns they will overwhelm PDP and APC very easily

ThatFairGuy:
We've always wanted this strong Third Force.

However let it be after 8 years of Adekunle's administration

Who is Adekunle

Odidigboigbo:
Even if the remaining political parties outside APC and PDP merged as one, they can't still stand against APC and PDP. Nigerians are program to worship their taskmasters.

Stop saying these things and rather campaign and vote for the third force with Moghalu rather then saying that he can't win

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


What a useless country look at the billion tonnes per second of water and there is not even a dam on that river hopeless nation. A nation which the government goes and build dams in the middle of the Desert and starts cancelling them off because of lack of water

And clearly you didn't read the second article they were praising the CBN for helping them increase food production and they're saying had the CBN not come then there would have been a major crisis

Why would they build a fucking dam right next to one of the largest cities in the country? It's like asking England to build a dam in London it's stupid

Which Igbo history?
Is it the Igala, Idoma, Jewish, Benin history of Igbos which one
Since I have known you on this platform you have never written anything worth reading so what stupid points do you want me to counter?

You spoke of Benin and you justified your nonsense from the Yoruba's perspective and now your are writing nonsense about my heritage and you are telling me Igbo history.
Even the word Nsibidi does it sound Igbo in origin to your hearing, the Aros that you speak of do you know their origin and in ancient time do you think their first language was Igbo.
Stop writing nonsense or better still write your own history instead of writing peoples history from the perspective of others
Igbos have nothing absolutely to do with Nsibidi,

That's the story the Igbos tell of Nsibidi when tf did I say it was made by the Igbos? You're just looking for any reason to get angry, the story of the Idiok comes from the Ibibios but the Igbos also adopted it into their story of Nsibidi because it comes from the Ibibio stop looking for reasons to argue there's no singular lie in my whole right up
