Still, your response was way off base.

Labeling everything bigotry don't bother me, you're free to keep repeating it though.

Ojukwu is a well respected man, I myself admire and respect the man for various reasons. He, like me, speaks all three major languages in Nigeria fluently. The man is truly one of a kind!

Nothing you say, can change the fact that had Ojukwu and his commanders surrendered soon after biafra was blockaded, millions of women and children would not have died from starvation.   This fact is not in dispute.  I do understand why you are refusing to state that Ojukwu and his commanders have culpability in this matter - your fellow Igbo people will isolate you and skin you alive if you dare challenge Ojukwu in a public forum or make any unpleasant remark about him.

It is this fear that is preventing you from being truthful in this case - I understand.  You superior Eziachi, who fought in the war should be brave enough to state that Ojukwu made a mistake by not surrendering promptly causing these innocent children to die. He is no coward like you - or so I hope.

As the Americans say in the hood, Immo pin y'all down on this one.   

fynewaka:
Who are you to question the judgment of the supreme court of Nigeria?

Fhemmmy:
I will be here when you all will start whinning that he has done this and that.
The man surely wont recoup the money from the treasury of another state, will be from Anambra, money meant to make the life of people like u better, will be spent in making sure he get back all he invested and yet you dont see anything wrong.
I have no problem with dude, but the welfare of the state is all that i give a damn about, and sure with how he will take back his money and those of the people that invested on him, i wonder what will be left to manage the state.

~Bluetooth:
@fhemmy
he will recoup his money soon as he starts receiving allocations from abuja.Now guy is investing.

Peter obi remains d favorite.

I have issues with Soludo as a person, but that's not only why i'm against him. In Nigeria, the PDP is an evil, all-powerful entity.

texazzpete:
if you think Ngige did a whole lot of good, why aren't you supporting him?

texazzpete:
And i suppose Anambra prospered greatly under Mbadinuju? or was he an ANPP Governor?

chidichris:
wether cleared or not, one thing is clear. that which kills a dog will first of all block the ears.
soludo is killing, spending, fighting etc just to rule anambra state. at least 6 months into power, by God's grace, we will all be here to see dubai, japan, america, hong kong and singapore all come to anambra.

Jarus:
Honestly, I also can't explain how I voted for him. Just saw myself laughing and clicking his name.

texazzpete:
These people amuse me! after suffering for so long under PDP in anambra state, they are willing to stick their necks under the guillotine for PDP again. People cannot see that Soludo is merely a well gilded mousetrap.

Someone who failed at his task of being a watchdog over the banking industry is the one being entrusted to run a troubled state. All he had to do was flash a Harvard degree and make grand speeches about 'turning Anambra into Dubai'.

The Americans threw out the Republicans even though John McCain was a pretty good guy, simply because of the excesses of the Republican Party in the previous years. In anambra i see people going apeshit about a flawed candidate, flanked by a notorious crook (Anenih), running under the platform of the same party that has brought great ruin to Anambra state!


Incredible.

mekusxxx:
At this point Soludo, whom I had supported, should go and rest and not constitute himself into another Andy Ubah, moving from one court house to another. Obi should be voted in again to complete his good job. I rest my case.

Fhemmmy:
So it is only the people of Anambra that ought to worry about something that will affect the state?

Anybody dat knws anambra wel wl attest dat peter obi stands d greatest chance of winning d nxt election if conducted free and fair. Ngige is completely out of it cos anambrarians has known dat he didnt do much 4 d state only roads and many of them has deteroriated nw. I wl say dat soludo wl b d closest to peter obi bt obi wl swept hm completely.

olafolarin:
Soludo should just step aside and allow a normal and legal primaries to take place.he will never win the guber election as the incumbent (Obi) and the former Governor(Ngige) stand a better chance.
Soludo will be more productive in a national office.

Aloy~Emeka:
Anamabra state should change their number to "Eastern thug-Land".

Anambra: Our Signatures were Forged, Aspirants Say
From Chuks Okocha in Abuja, 10.14.2009

Another twist was yesterday added to the nomination of Prof. Chukuma Soludo as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Anambra State in the 2010 election as six out of the 23 aspirants and delegates who protested against his nomination in Abuja last Monday dissociated themselves from the protest.
They claimed that their signatures were forged and called on the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate the matter.
Twenty-three out of the 47 governorship aspirants and several delegates to the aborted state congress had Monday protested on the streets of Abuja and later besieged the National Secretariat of the party, singing and chanting war songs.
They claimed that as far as they were concerned, the choice of Soludo as governorship candidate and Senator Emmanuel Anosike as running mate was still a rumour as they were not aware of how they emerged.
They insisted that they were awaiting the vacation of the court order stopping the state primaries to enable the party elect its governorship candidate.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the six aspirants – Mr. Ben Okeke, Prince Emeka Eze, Chief Tony Ezeani, Dr. Solomon Ekwunze, Dr. Amanchukwu Ezike and Chief Samuel Ikefuna - said they did not sign the said documents denouncing Soludo’s candidacy.
According to a statement read on their behalf by Okeke, they said: “Though some of us attended a meeting on issues affecting Anambra State, we wish to clearly state that we did not sign the purported document denouncing the Soludo/Anosike candidacy.
“Our signatures were forged by those who claim to be representing us without our mandate. We therefore call on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the masterminds that forged our signatures.”
They also restated their support for the Soludo/Anosike candidacy, describing it as a “moment of glory and a departure from an inglorious past”.
They called on the national headquarters of PDP to disregard the earlier statement denouncing the Soludo/Anosike candidacy.
Meanwhile, the Action Congress (AC) has insisted that the emergence of Soludo as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Anambra State is undemocratic, saying its position has been bolstered by the rejection of his candidacy by other aspirants.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said while the PDP spokesman, Prof. Rufai Alkali, was hiding behind one finger by saying Soludo was properly chosen, PDP members from the state had dismissed the action by storming the party headquarters in Abuja to protest against the nomination.
“We will therefore like to ask Prof. Alkali to reconcile his position with that of the protesters, who said due process was not followed in the nomination of the PDP flag bearer. Or is Prof. Alkali saying the protesters are members of the AC?
“There is no better repudiation of Prof. Alkali’s claims than the action of the protesting PDP members from Anambra. We are vindicated!” AC said.
It said unlike the PDP spokesman, who chose to descend to a lower pedestal by engaging in crude personality attacks, the AC was more interested in dwelling on issues that could deepen democracy in the country, hence its decision to speak out on the shoddy, undemocratic and dictatorial manner in which Soludo was chosen by PDP.
According to the AC, “It is disingenuous on the part of Prof. Alkali to equate the process that produced Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola as the Action Congress governorship candidate for Lagos State in the 2007 election with the crass and undemocratic imposition of Prof. Soludo as the PDP gubernatorial candidate for Anambra State in the 2010 governorship election.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola emerged as the AC flag bearer in the 2007 gubernatorial election at the end of a properly conducted ward, local government and state congress of the party.”
It said the danger in not challenging the PDP’s usual consensus smokescreen, which had been the bane of peace and tranquillity in Africa’s most unruly party, “is that it (PDP) will continue to endanger the nation’s democracy by opting for ‘consensus’ - a euphemism for imposition - even in national elections”.
“It is this consensus that has produced square pegs in round holes at all levels of government, resulting in total lack of governance to the detriment of the long-suffering citizens who daily yearn for good and purposeful governance,” it said.
The party also challenged Alkali to tell Nigerians when exactly Soludo picked the membership of the PDP, and whether he had stayed long enough in the party to contest the gubernatorial nomination and be “selected”.
