frankson1:
Your comment didn't suggest in anyway that you meant ndigbo should rally for themselves and the write up didn't state that it has been zoned to the SE.
I'd suggest you go read it up again.

frankson1:
When will ndigbo grow For how long will they keep rallying round a formidable person?? Or ndigbo don't have a formidable person who should be rallied round for?

Juliusmalema:
Battle line up.

Meanwhile Deputy Governor of anambra state has moved to APC.

Watching because if elections are won on Facebook, twitter and on nairaland Atiku would have been the president of Nigeria by now.

Popularity on nairaland is totally the opposite of what is on ground. #fact.

ItsTutsi:
Nawo!! They have refused to zone the Presidency again!! Looks more likely to be an open contest

CSTRR:
To be fair, some ashawo worth 5k.

There are some ladies based in VI, I have seen on codedruns.

They charge at least 10k for short time with abeg.

They are clean as hell,and they can truly fuccckk.
Fuccckkk that your girlfriend can't give you.

Once in a while, you need to splurge on a clean, hot good fuccckk.

Juliusmalema:
Obsession is a disease.

Juliusmalema:
Stop writing nonsense.

How did Igboland enter here. The report is centred on Anambra state. So stop smuggling unnecessary stuffs in.

His sickness as nothing to do with poison or unfair treatment,it's a result of drastic opposite change in lifestyle. The same reason Nigerian politicians get sick few weeks after arrest.
Imagine a man who lives in affluence,sleeps in a big soft bed,have sex whenever he wants,eats and drinks anything he wants,go anywhere in the world he wants. Suddenly got arrested and imprisoned in a raggedy environment,eat trash and sleeping on woods or mats or the floor or beds as flat as slippers
Nnamdi KANU got sick like few days after arrest,it was a result of the inhuman,poor and low living conditions of prison life.

[s]All Progressives Congress chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, says an Igbo candidate cannot be trusted in the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, nobody is going to vote for people who would use the same position to divide Nigeria.

Igbokwe, who is an aide to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stated this in a PUNCH Live interview on Thursday.

He said the South-East geopolitical zone has indeed suffered “injustices”, adding that in “everything we share in this country, we get the least.”

He, therefore, urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to facilitate the creation of one more state to make states in the South-East six like other geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

States currently in the zone are Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi.

Speaking on the PUNCH Live programme, the politician noted that despite the “injustices”, violent agitations and killings were not the way to press for justice, equity and fairness.

Igbokwe lambasted members of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and other secessionists in the South-East geopolitical zone, saying they are going about their agitation in a wrong manner.

He alleged that IPOB members are supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, adding that the secessionists began agitations to leave the Nigerian entity after the PDP lost the 2015 presidential election.

The party stalwart said that only the PDP is currently campaigning in Anambra ahead of the November 6 governorship poll while other parties are allegedly being attacked.

He knocked Igbo leaders who are thirsty that the zone produces a President in 2023, saying they should wake up and do the politicking and make friends in the other five geopolitical zones to achieve their goal.

As the 2023 general elections draw nearer, there have been intense political posturing, permutations and fireworks, especially as the eight-year regime of Buhari, who is from Katsina State, winds down.

The clamour for an Igbo President has since resonated with some 18 months to the general elections. Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has been consistent in its demand for an Igbo President in 2023.

The 17 Southern Governors had also met twice in the year and demanded power shift to their region while the 19 Northern Governors also met last week, opposing such move and noting that the candidate with the highest votes will emerge as President in the next general elections.

‘Igbo people must drop secession agitation to be considered for serious national posts’
Asked whether the agitation by IPOB and the other secessionists in the South-East would be laid to rest should the zone produce a President in 2023, Igbokew said it is not by force that the next Nigerian leader emerges from the zone.

He said Igbo politicians should do the work if they so desperately want the next Presidency, adding that Igbo people must drop Biafra agitation to be considered for serious national offices.

The 65-year-old Anambra indigene said, “If you want other Nigerians to vote for you, then you have to count how many bridges that you have built; bridges of understanding, bridges of communication, bridges of friendship.

Buhari, Jonathan meet behind closed doors
“I want to see your bridges and you want them to vote for you? Nobody is going to vote for somebody who will use that position to divide Nigeria.

“You cannot be talking about secession and talking about producing the President of Nigeria. We need to settle the issue first; we need to say, ‘Look, we have given up this demand for Biafra, grant us justice’.

“Today, Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) is in the saddle. How did Buhari become the President of Nigeria? It was Asiwaju that wooed him in 2013 with Tony Momoh, with Baba Akande and they went to Daura to meet Buhari.

“They said, ‘Look, you scored 11 million votes in 2003, 11 million votes in 2007, 12 million votes in 2011. If I pull South-West, you will get 17 million votes and you will become President.

“They went there to build a bridge and the rest is now history and that was how Buhari that had lost hope became the President of Nigeria.

“Somebody connected, somebody had sleepless nights, somebody trusted.
“You will sit in one place and you are blackmailing other people, you are not making friends, you are not building bridges and you are threatening people.

“Drop your arms first and enter planes or luxurious buses to South-West and pledge your loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that, ‘Look, we have been able to settle issues in our home, we need to be President, we have not been President since after the civil war…

“Once you have settled that you have dropped this agitation, that you are part and parcel of Nigeria and we see it in your action and deeds, I am not talking about myself but other Nigerians because the issue now is trust – we (Easterners) cannot be trusted. Even with the happenings in the South-East, our leaders are playing politics with it.”

Igbokwe, who had said his house was burnt over the weekend by IPOB arsonists in Nnewi, further said he supports the imposition of a State of Emergency in Anambra, noting that Governor Willie Obiano has shown that he cannot handle what is playing out in the state.

“With this kind of fear, you can’t have election in Anambra…South-East is now a war zone, the police is helpless,” the APC member lamented, adding that a “State of Emergency is not out of place”.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Wednesday, said that the Federal Government might declare a State of Emergency in Anambra to ensure that the November 6 governorship election in the state takes place.

But after a meeting with the President on Thursday, Obiano said Malami was on his own, adding that Buhari was not in support of an emergency rule in the state.

According to Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution, a state of emergency is a situation of national danger or disaster in which a government suspends normal constitutional procedures in order to regain control.

A declared state of emergency allows the President to immediately make any desired regulations to secure public order and safety.

The insecurity in Anambra worsened a few weeks ago with a declaration by IPOB that the November 6 governorship poll in the state would not hold.

[s]Obiano: Why I wasn’t at S’East Govs meeting. I cannot sit to discuss security with those behind the Violence in Anambra-Obiano



Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has opened up on the controversy trailing his absence at the recent meeting of the South East Governors Forum held in Enugu. The meeting was convened to discuss the deteriorating security situation in the South East region, particularly Anambra State.

The absence of Obiano at the security meeting triggered a lot of controversy as his political traducers accused him of being insensitive to the security of lives and property of the people. However, Obiano has fired back at his detractors, explaining that he deliberately stayed away as he could not fathom sitting to discuss security with certain individuals who were behind the violence plaguing his state. Obiano who spoke through his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Ifeatu Obiokoye described the controversy as “mere factory noise” from desperate politicians who are out to justify the sponsorship of their benefactors.


The governor said he cannot sit in a meeting with those whom he described as sponsors of the killings in his state. “Did you really expect my Governor would be meeting, and dining with some persons ostensibly funding and sponsoring insecurity and terrorism in Anambra State? “What people are saying goes to no issue in the first instance because it is a public knowledge that those doing the killings are not from Anambra state and no Anambra person would go to this extent. “These people are from outside Anambra state and those sponsoring them are from outside Anambra state and you expect the governor to be holding meetings with them on security challenges which those people are executing? “Be it known to all and sundry that the killings are politically motivated to create voter aparthy in Anambra and then manipulate the electoral process to the advantage of these desperados.

“The governor has already put in place a full proof security arrangements to nip the problem on the board than going to sit in a meeting to tell the same people what he is doing to stop them killing innocent people in Anambra state,” Obiokoye said. It would be recalled that the Amb Bianca Ojukwu, wife of late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, had urged the governor to attend the meeting because, according to her , Anambra state is boiling and that he has to take charge and arrest incidents of killing in the state . Also the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) Sen Andy Uba had accused the governor of not rising to the challenges of insecurity in the state alleging that he has been overwhelmed by it.
