Lol. Just look at you using 'to mention a few' at the end of the the 5 man list like there are millions of others.

Please tell me. Asides these guys mentioned above; bolded, which other igbo political bigwig supported Tinubu?

Chimaroke Nnammani in the list is not of his party. Orji uzor kalu couldnt deliver his senatorial district to Tinubu, but won same senatorial district election for himself; in an election conducted same day, same time... Only ballot papers separated them. Funny isnt it? Yet you talk about about support.

In Enugu , the state with the highest former Governor, senate president, serving ministers: Ken nnammani, Sulivan, Godfrey onyeama and the others bigwigs all in APC. Tinubu polled only 4900 votes. Not even upto 5k votes. And you are here Preaching support?

Asiwaju got less than 1.5% of his vote from Southeast.Infact take away Tinubu's total vote in SE, he will still be the winner. If election is conducted 3million times, the number of voters for him in the SE will not increase instead it will keep decreasing.

By the way, who should he have included? The people on the committee are mostly youths and middle-aged. Igbo youths are all on social media photoshopping PICCs line into Tinubu's arm for propaganda, while the rest are cooking up fake news about imaginary Guinean, called Tinubu.

Even this Joe igbokwe lamenting, as a commissioner in lagos, asides his social media chochocho , can he solemnly swear that he was able to deliver 10votes from his igbo brothers for Tinubu or sanwo olu in Lagos?

Igbos antagonised him before the election.
Opposed him during the election.
And are still running campaign of calumnies against him after the election.

The reality of these new Nigeria's political setting now is that; No one is going to placate anyone with any political post. Everyone must work for it. Time of pity-party is over.

What you sow is what you reap. Welcome to the new dispensation.

so non of the 4900 people that voted him in Enugu could be included in his committee?
Before 2014 when APC Nigerian government and politicians were not this tribalistic. All these started with apc

Iamgrey5:
Those cities were built by the Boers not blacks.

Those cities were built over several decades from proceeds of daimond, Gold and platinum found in South Africa.

You need to stick to a narrative.
First you said we don't have the money, when he pointed at South Africa having less gdp than us, you now started talking about the boers. Are boers not South Africans? Are the natural resources you said here more profitable than 60 years of selling oil? Is a country with Nigeria's GDP and population not supposed to have at least one city that looks like one of these?

Iamgrey5:
The population of Nigeria should be 100 million at most.

Every independent Data released always point to that direction.

It is also clear that Lagos is the most populated with estimation of over 7 to 10 million people.

Kano should be 5 to 7 million people.

kano isn't larger than 3 million. The population of Cape Town is 4 million, check capetown and kano on Google earth

APCNig:
Come and explain yourself since you are rolling out fake statistics like the 3rd Class Philosophy graduate.

Now, what is GDP?

its sad you don't know what gdp is

Mufasa27:
Who gives a f***

If una like participate, if una like make una ignore. Nigeria must move forward with or without you hypocrites.

is Nigeria moving forward?
Our Gdp in 2014 was $560 Billion with a population of 160 million. Our current GDP is $510 Billion with 200 million population

Ganimu:
I kind of agree with him on this one

will you choose Nigeria's imperfect democracy over Qatars perfect dictatorship?

helinues:
I love the decision of the former temporary governor of Inm state Ihedioha to withdraw from the election.

That Gov Uzodinma is just too street rugged to tackle head on

its quite interesting that the change party if filled with people that can be described as street rugged. No ideology. No principle. Shame

Illuminatiship:
Okocha talented player that won nothing? Kanu is far more better than okocha, argue with your ogogoro master of a father..

okocha won Olympics and nations Cup. He scored more goals for Nigeria than kanu

dat9jaguy:
Hypothetically, let us assume the candidate that won FCT lost other states without getting 25% in them but the opponent won the remaining 36 states without getting 25% in FCT, then you will call for rerun It just doesn't make sense.
This example is hypothetical and just for this argument.

the reason why lawyers get paid is to play with words. A good lawyer can successfully argue that fct is different from the states in this context. I just wish we all could move on though. Cos Tinubu will not put every yoruba person on payroll. All these are just the I pass my neighbour mentality of Africans. A Tinubu presidency shouldn't mean a 'yoruba' presidency.

dat9jaguy:
From your own statement you have contradicted yourself.

[/b]The reason those who wrote the constitution had to still write FCT, Abuja is because they knew it was not a state and so did not count Abuja as a state but a capital, if not they would have stopped the statement at "have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation".

But they had to stress FCT,Abuja in it to make sure that whoever will interpret the law will know that Abuja was not considered a state when they were referring to "states".[b]


Since FCT is not a state it has to be emphasized along with the other states as part of the federation. So 25% of the states and FCT.
If your argument is correct that means I can win FCT and my opponent wins the remaining 36 states then you will call for rerun

winning 36 states doesn't mean your opponent didn't get 25% in those states and they also won fct too

sablue:
Very interested in seeing his performance. He's the first of his kind holding a strong political office in Nigeria.

But wait ooo. Nobody's wailing that he's APC.

he's the second

domDva:
Without prejudice to any possible rigging by pdp, there are three key factors that gave PDP victory in Enugu.

There is no doubt that A LOT of people in Enugu are tired of PDP and would easily vote for any other popular candidate.
However, Mr Okey Ezea, an LP senator elect from Nsukka in that infamous video circulated online was seen shouting that the governorship election is a Do or Die affair for Nsukka people, that Nsukka is more populated than Nkanu and should use their alleged voting strength to elect Edeoga who most people from Enugu East see as an Nsukka man. That outburst re-enforced that feeling.
Every Nkanu man and woman took that outburst as a direct challenge,

Frank Nweke factor: The Apga candidate got support from a lot of independent minded Obidients who felt that voting along party line is not the right thing to do, they prefer a candidate regarded as more competent notwithstanding the party. Most of them chose Nweke of Apga, Aisha Yesufu pushed hard for Nweke. This ultimately ate deep into Obidient votes that naturally would have gone to LP.

Thirdly, a lot of people in Enugu consider Edeoga as incompetent, he has been in government since 1999 but it is hard to point out to his achievements. He was the immediate past commissioner for environment in Enugu at a time that Enugu became filthy. Though, he claimed that the parastatal in charge of keeping the city clean was taken away from his office and placed in the office of the Governor. A lot of people didn’t buy this excuse.

Mba is no saint but people believe that since he has succeeded in the private sector as the owner of Pinnacle Oil, he will be a better choice than a career politician who has nothin to show for his years in government.

In summary: Nkanu and Nsukka “fight”, emergence of Obidient Frank Nweke of Apga and the alleged incompetence of Edeoga worked against him

remove that first reason. Most enugu people didn't care about nsuka vs nkanu factor. LP failed because of other reasons you mentioned and because Peter Obi did not endorse Edeoga

Throwback:
Great!

You succeeded despite that the zombies tried to prevent you from using the same Priests and Bishops to get support for your campaign as they had already used for their own presidential campaign.

The stinking hypocrites who have no integrity or character like their desperate leader who emerged as a result of political prostitution and ticket hunting without party ideology, claim they want to give us a new Nigeria, yet all they have provided is chaos and mass delusion.

Do your best to provide sound leadership with character and integrity that they do not have.

Ensure you secure your state from those terrorists.

its surprising seeing you supporting pdp these days. Are you yourself not surprised by this anomaly?
Hate is a slow burner bro...it creeps in and makes a home in your heart while you are walking around calling yourself reasonable

Vote4Obi:
You made some points no doubt. However, I hope you guys are prepared to tame the monster you helped create in Tinubu?

Tinubu hates both Hausas and Igbos in equal measure. Dude is coming to promote a dangerous Yoruba agenda. 80% of the economy has been cornered by them, they're partly in control of the media and now they have political power...

North should have backed Obi but due to religious intolerance since he is a Christian and Igbophobia, you guys backed a monster...

At this point, only a North/East alliance will stop him and his evil agenda. If Tinubu occupies Aso rock, he is going to promote Oduduwa agenda.

unfortunately only a few leaders have ran a 'Nigerian agenda'
Those few leaders in my opinion were Gowon, Obasanjo, shagari and yaradua. The rest have ran a regional agenda. The northern leaders currently are not national leaders. Their intention is to sideline the SS, SE and NC completely.
The plan is to make el rufai president after tinubu...you know what that means already. More ethno-religious strife.
Sad days ahead

mrvitalis:
Igbos have retired all bad politicians expect IMO

Umiah is a worker even if he joins devils party I would vote him he performed what no governor in Nigerian's history has done maybe Sam mbakwe

Umiah did wonders


Hope you are next we are coming for you

What of Orji uzor kalu? Trust me he was a bad governor but a very very very good senator ...I can't pick any senator that has done more project than him

I remember that year we voted Apc. I don't regret it though but I realised long before you that yorubas supported buhari because of ethnic agenda not really because of good governance. I remember when I used to call you afonja when you were still supporting apc. How times have changed

How dare obi, an ibo man think he can contest election as president in this country? He has set ibos back for doing this

How dare obi an ibo man think he can win the votes of Lagos in the presidential election? He has set ibos back for a million years

How dare obi, an ibo man think he can join a party and start a political movement in this country? Doesn't he know the place of ibos? Ibos will be put in their place for this.

How dare obi go to court to challenge the elections as an ibo man? Does he now equate himself to buhari who went to court 3 times. Ibos will suffer for this for a billion years.

How dare ibos? The audacity of ibos to demand to vote and be voted for in Nigeria!!

I don't ever want to hear someone say that igbos and Yorubas have never had any issues or fight.
Today yorubas attacked igbos and stopped them from voting thereby disenfranchising them in their own country. Some people died, some injured. Let it be on record
I'm just saving this here

If you think Tinubu would ever loosen his grip on power then you don't know what power is.

Go out and vote in lagos today and protect your vote by any means necessary

Peacemaker5128:
ibo don't have a leader. The only leader that Igbo have is eating watery saltless pepperless beans at DSS Cage

so?

My.nd44 never disappoints. A doctored video and he pushed it to front page to cause confusion

DoTheNeedful:
This LP guber candidate is about lose a clear opportunity because of his ego. Truly, village people exist. How would someone say that at this moment?

video was clearly doctored by pdp to achieve an aim.

Dsalvo:
You are the most foolish and dullardly Igbo on Nairaland so I am not surprised, like a toddler, you are not aware of the impending consequences of what Igbos have unleashed on themselves.

You have now seriously provoked and embarrassed the Yorubas who are your biggest accommodates and benefactors on earth, before other Nigerians and the whole world, by taking our kindness for weakness.

You cannot even find a decent Yoruba to field as Labour candidate. Instead it is an openly proud IPOB tout who says he is now learning Yoruba at age 40.

Lagos is not the only cosmopolitan State in Nigeria your IPOB touts can attempt to govern but you would dare not try it because the indigenes will always put you in your place before you overstep your mark.

Most Yorubas now realize we have allowed you overstep your make dangerously from when you began calling Lagos "no man's land" unchecked. I pity Igbos especially the most cretinous of them like you.

all these petty noise will not stop us from voting Eluu p. It will also not stop igbos from moving to lagos.
Accommodation kill you there

tamdun:
Igbo people voted for PDP not obasanjo

why did igbos vote for pdp? Was pdp existing before Obasanjo?
Did igbos vote for pdp too I'm the Last election because according to your logic, igbos were incapable of voting another party except pdp

festacman:
How far with those countries former President Obama visited without visiting Nigeria? How has the visit impacted on them?

One thing I know is that his country will be great again.

I am unapologetically and proudly Nigerian.

Actually Kenya and South Africans get US visas way easier than Nigeria. The fact that you don't know the significance of these visits shows why Nigeria is how it is. I'm also sure the current people in government think like you.

BentizilL:
Stop calling a Yorubaland no man's land and face your region/land, I've no problem with you... Calling Lagos a no man's land is a prerequisite for problem... We won't sit down and watch you ungrateful migrant call our land no man's land.

I've no problem with you apart from calling Lagos a Yorubaland no man's land, got many good Igbo friends whom I can't trade for a price of rubble..

Yoruba is the most civilized and has the most developed region in Nigeria, this is not bragging but facts..💯 So reason before you spill rubbish next time...

First of all is that no igbo leader has called lagos a no man's land. I only hear it here from yorubas. Secondly, the issue now is not that but that LP won in the presidential election and may possibly win the governorship. Again stop shifting goal post and tackle the issue.
Is the igbos in lagos within their right as Nigerians to vote LP? Yes or no?
Is the yorubas within their right to burn down shops and threaten to kill igbos? Yes or no?
The most developed region is North. If you visit Abuja, you will prefer it to lagos. Kano is more developed than ibadan. Kaduna is more developed than ogun. You know this.

Roboto11:
You are not clever.

If they can do that in the Church what else can they not do?

ok so show me. Two killed in abia means nothing. Show me where igbos killed foreigners for voting their choice stop shifting the goal post

Roboto11:
Okpaleke, who hails from Amesi in Aguata local government area of Anambra State, was to succeed the late Bishop Anthony Chikwe in Ahiara, but the people of Mbaise insisted on having an indigene as their local government. For five years, Bishop Okpaleke never stepped foot on his Cathedral and only remained Bishop of the Diocese in name



This one na Church oh!

good, that's church. We are talking of national politics in a democracy. Nobody has ever been killed for voting against pdp or apga or LP in igboland. If it's a lie show me

BentizilL:
Your hypocrisy stinks...
Can Igbo accept 1/3 of what they dish to Yoruba in Lagos?

What's flame of violence in telling the truth..

many non igbos have had political office in igboland. The first mayor of Enugu was a Fulani man. There has NEVER been an election where non igbos were killed for voting against popular candidates in the East. This has never happened in the history of Nigeria in the East. If you say its a lie, show me. But we have seen non yorubas killed in the west. We have seen igbos killed in the north. I can show you this.
You guys are as uncivilised as Fulanis. All these noise because of election. Idiots

Peacemaker5128:
tell them to move for leflendum first then other Nigerians will take you serious

they did it in 1967...remember?

IyaebeTheGreat:
It is obi

what did obi say please
