SOME Southeast leaders rose yesterday from a meeting in Abuja, pushing for an Igbo President in 2015.

Besides, they condemned what they described as the pull-him down syndrome, which they said was rampant in the zone.

The Chairman of the Forum and former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, told reporters that the body was doing something to stem the tide.

Ezeife noted that though the problems which most top Igbo political office holders faced nationally were "very shameful". He said that they were fuelled by external forces who, according to him, want to create the impression that the Southeast could not be trusted with top leadership positions.

The Igbo leader, however, reiterated the group’s support for President Goodluck Jonathan in the April election, but maintained that an Igbo president must rule Nigeria in 2015.

Ezeife noted that the clamour for Igbo presidency is "a moral issue and therefore not negotiable".

"It will be unfair not to accord us that privilege. A Southeasterner ruled this country for only six months and after he was killed, his kith and kin were massacred in large numbers thereafter," he said.

On the forced resignation of the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, Ezeife explained that Nwodo and Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime pretended to have accepted the peace moves to resolve the crisis, but that Nwodo’s resignation was externally influenced.

"Our problems are self-inflicted. Give us three months to begin to see new things and answers to agitations that the people from our zone make. We are working on it and things will change I can assure you," he said.

On the presidential election, Ezeife said: "We are putting all our eggs in one basket for Jonathan because since after the Civil War, all the governments ignored all the roads and other federal facilities in the zone.

"For Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to have received our support, to have emerged in the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), we have hope that all the roads in all parts of the country will be fixed because it will benefit our people who are found in large numbers everywhere.

The apex Igbo organisation, Ohana’eze Ndigbo which unequivocally endorsed the candidacy of President Jonathan for the 2011Presidential election and have been working for his success.

At the meeting were Prof Ihechukwu Madubuike, Eze M.O. Kanu, Senator Sylvanus Ngele, Igwe Ofoebe; Comrade Peace Obiajulu; Eze Igbo Ibe Nwosu; Hon. Agunwa Anekwe, Dr. Ifedi Okwenna; Dr. Kanayo Okoye and Eze Ambassador Longinus Udogwu.

Others are: Ochigbo George, Dr. Caliiben Okonkwo, Mr Aleto Maxwell, Eugene Anekwe and Magnus Ibe.

We're not talking local politics here. We're talking about someone who is likely to properly represent Ndigbo not a mumy's boy.

Peter Obi is much better but in APGA. Sullivan Chime is a star. Soludo is also very capable but Orji, I say a capital NO.

Obj deliberately ignored the SE in 2007 when he jumped to the SS for a VP. The same could've repeated itself. Our best bet is to remain with the GEJ despite the purported set-back.[/quote]i know

but you have to remember that to be a leader, you need money to fund elections and also people in your region can respect you

Kalu can be forgiven to fight the bigger fight, and later when the battle is won, You can settle it internally.

They say charity begins at home. Orji failed himself and Ndigbo before his political career at the Federal level would've kicked-off. He killed the dream.[/quote]no no brother

alj harem:
brother, what orji did is not different from what tinubu and other governors have done

brother, can you not see that the nigerian elites made him look bad because of the potential of him being the igbo leader

tell me what orji did that tinubu have not done worse

remember he even told igbos we need to come together

dayokanu:
Personally I think Igbos should just get behind someone of their own that can hold his own Someone like Orji Kalu. I feel Kalu is bold and wont sell out to Hausas easily. His bad act can be sorted out in house.

Many Yorubas know Tinubu is tainted but just because he is leading the challenge on the PDP, His crimes are overlooked when we get PDP out, the we can sort out Tinubu and ACN internally.

Now every PDP contestant takes the SE votes for granted. E.g if Jonathan is worried about any part of the country voting for him he would think Far North and SW first.

If they ask him "What about SE, I am sre he would say I have that settled, No wahala"

I still dey laugh

A dark miasma is surrounding Igboland and it needs to be cleared. Our people are already being killed in droves in the North. Yet our leadership remains silent. We Igbos need a leader to stand up for us. Ojukwu is too sick and old to lead us. We need a vibrant leader. One who hasn't been touched by the taint of corruption. One who is not willing to sell us out for political expediency.[/quote]Orji Uzo Kalu,.,, fact

I am really happy that someone like Dr Dora Akunyili is raising this issue.
Walahi, this election will be interesting, and PDP can lose the entire SE to APGA.
And if they dare rig the elections, they can kiss Nigeria goodbye.

you can not be sure of this brother

if it is rigged, there is nothing SE OR ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT MAYBE THE NORTH CAN STILL GIVE IT A FIGHT

but you are right this election will be interesting

Nobody sold us. Everybody endorsed Jonathan in PDP, from extreme North to extreme south. They did not lose their political rights because of that.

What you are not seeing is that the elections are still months away.
Permutations and possibilities can change OVERNIGHT.

A day in politics is like a millennium.

ok brother i hear you

hope it works well for ndigbo and the nation

Abagworo:
I wonder how my credibility needs anybody's endorsement.All of you were in support of Ohaneze when they endorsed Jonathan even before he bought nomination form.All of you were also against zoning which is the only way an Igbo can ever be President.You all were in support of Ogbulafors frame up and removal.You all rejoiced when Nwodo and SE Governors endorsed GEJ before primaries.I never supported any of those moves.Now tell me who has been right all along.

1)Nwodo used and dumped

2)Buhari or Ribadu very likely to pick SW running mate.

you could not have said it better brother

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=594164.msg7617921#msg7617921 date=1296179332]Proly when it is all said and done, they'll get to keep the senate presidency. But it cracks me up that they'll have to cry and beg for what ordinarily should be theirs

So supporting Jonathan, an Ijaw from South south now means we forfeit our own right as Nigerians?
How does that sound to you?

All these divide and rule nonsense won't fly.

We must get a position as other major tribes -Hausa and Yoruba. Otherwise, we will use all our resources to break away from Nigeria.

you can not if you have given your right to an ijaw,., yes south-south

do you think ijaws care about igbo

@bolded
sorry onlytruth, but stop this rubbish of getting the position of the major ethnic groups because WE IGBOS WERE ONE OF THEM UNTIL OUR LEADERS SOLD U OUT IN PDP

Alhaji, no sentiments. You're still the man. But jokes are allowed.

Ok. From now on,  You'll be known now as the Nwanne di n'mba 1 nke Ndigbo na Nairaland. (A brother of Ndigbo who is in another land). Hope you're happy now.  [/quote]now you are talking

@topic, we igbos have to be very very careful so as not to drop out in the scheme of things

lets leave massop out of this

lets ohaneze call the people in aligbo and talk to them

this is serious for the us igbos in nigeria,.,, we are no longer in power,., i tell ya

Freewilly:
Sorry malam, the love is not reciprocal

why na

i do not care whether igbos love me or not,.,.,

i will not let you people on NL make me hate my igbo people

this is the time we igbos whether half kanuri or half ijaw have to come together and leave tribalism out

jason123:
@ Fellow Nairalanders

This is not the time to rile anyone. This is a serious matter. If the Ndigbo feel cheated then the country would still break up since they are part of the big 3. Thats the reality.

no no no
it happened when the igbo politicians give there support to jonathan

there is no one breaking up

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=594164.msg7617859#msg7617859 date=1296178357]I agree. You three are welcome to stay in the same country while we leave. [/quote]ok that is fine by everyone in nigeria

Frankly some Nigerians are so pathetic in thinking.  
Perhaps because I mentioned that a Yoruba is my top pastor yesterday, suddenly I am feeling inferior to them?

These people are just unbelievable.  

Ok, alj Harem, what do you think about the topic?

i think other groups like hausa/fulani and yoruba/edo are trying to block igbos from the position of power

think of it, it is a way of droping the igbos in the big three and putting ijaws

it is sad but truth

now it depends on how igbos react to it

i mean

if they like it that why  or   if they will not accept it it is all in igbos hands not ohaneze but the people

also i will advice igbos to form alliance with the yorubas/edo or hausa/fulani

remember ijaws are now claiming port harcount and other igbo lands, which is a form of cheating because igbos view ijaws as brother



[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=594164.msg7617824#msg7617824 date=1296177587]My Igbo brethren, in all seriousness, I am getting a little worried. No, I am getting very worried how we Igbos are becoming more marginalized than ever before. I have supported GEJ, but it would seem that something nefarious is amidst.

Other groups are trying to use the Ijaw to block the Igbo from our glory. We all should be worried, because they are trying to back us into a corner. And I refuse to be backed in a corner. Our politicians have been bought off by the highest bidder and we Igbos have been left leaderless. We need to do something before it is too late!

As eku_bear has stated, the Yoruba are not even heavily PDP member yet they benefit from this zoning. What kind of nonsense is this?[/quote]ezeuche this is the best post you have made in your life i tell you

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=594164.msg7617803#msg7617803 date=1296177263]As we haven't produced the President and the Vice, the senate president should go to the SE. No need to raise hairs over Dora's statement. Dora is shaping up to become a fantastic senator for us Ndigbo. I shared her exact opinions on this issue a few days ago here on this forum.

Infact, the SE governors should pressure the PDP and GEJ into seeing that we produce a presido this time around. It should be one of their conditional requests as part of Ndigbo's support for GEJ. If they never did this initially then I wonder what and what were the conditions for Ndigbo's support.
