The SS and SE simply reject any sectional etnically bigoted party led by a drug baron. The movement has begun to call our people home, all those who used ACN as a ladder to office will find their way into decent parties without a sectional/ethnic outlook. There are APGA, DPP, LP, PDP etc.
This is a time of building, healing and restitution.

The real goal of the leaders of such parties is to be next to oil which both SE/SS are pregnant with, they dream vainly of replacing the Hausa-Fulani who foisted basta'rds the likes of Ibori on us; animals that don't care about the suffering and pollution they bring.
Hausa-Fulani have been thrown off, so why should we accept facists like Tinubu in their place?

It might be painful to bigots, but thats what bigoted politics brings. Let Tinubu stick to defrauding Lagos off 2billion per month, frustrating Fashola and driving the state into dept; we reject leprosy.

desola, be careful not to join SS when talking about SE

there are not igbos in SS, chikena

please SS will not joinn igbos in anything, but igbos can join them does not mean they will join igbos

the op is an igbo attention hungry man that hates chikena

vicenzo:
This SS cliche sure serves ndiigbo's interest,imagine a situation whereby okiro(agu na echemba 1 of egbema) was replaced by onovo as the IG of police.
Goodluck could handover to Amaechi chibuike and ndi igbo wil still cry marginalization,since we know that amaechi and GEJ are both south south men,oh! the beauty of SS cliche.

@Chyz: Ok I get your point,  Those that voted Ohakim are not human and are not Igbo people. By those, I mean the entire Okigwe zone of Imo state, Ndi Mbaise and others,  Is that what you mean?

drpolitics:
Please leave out sentiments and lets look at the issues. This so called "will of the people" has it's connotations. Ohakim we speak about won elections in at least 11 LGAs, including Ehime, Isiala, the three Mbaises, and the whole Okigwe zone of Imo State,  I know Owerri people are not in support of him. True but do you think, there is no support at all for him? What's your point?

drpolitics:
Your statistics and facts on the table. Please. Lets go there,

God bless you Chyz!

In addition the major bypass roads being built or those completed are important to help de-congest the city. They are several including the ongoing ring road that encircles the state passing through all the LGAs. That is another show of brilliance by Ohakim the villain. These roads are nearing completion and most travellers passing through Owerri do not have to drive into the city but can take the bypass roads on the city's outskirts. What about the Orji traffic jam issue that has been solved for good or the street lights on our major streets or the traffic lights now a thing taken for granted in Owerri. What about all these? At times I wonder if people are blind or just blinded by the lust of hatred for an individual who means well for the state.

Lets look at the issue of Job creation. Ohakim is the only governor since Sam Mbakwe that has taken the issue of job creation for graduates and youths seriously. He came up with a novel initiative of ten thousand jobs ( which many in the state called 419 until the young graduates resumed work in their various duty posts). Those graduates many of whom who have no connections with top government officials did only two things. One, was to pay N2,000 as an administrative fee and the other was to write an aptitude test that was conducted by the renowned KPMG in all the geopolitical zones of the country. This was done by the youths who braced IT all despite populist negativity and applied for the jobs; today most of them are gainfully employed and  their families are the better for this singular act. It is important to also note that all LGAs of the state were given due consideration to ensure geopolitical spread of the jobs. Merit was however the primary tool utilized for more than 50% of the jobs.

Furthermore, in the area of health, it's no gainsaying the fact that today, Imo State boasts of one of the lowest rates of Maternal Mortality in the whole of Nigeria. Why? This is because the governor intervened, built new comprehensive Health centres in each of the LGAs (27 of them) and employed experienced Nurses and Midwives to manage those centres. He paid them and ensured that they keep records of maternal deaths in their localities. It has helped save the lives of our mothers, no doubt. However, people would still tell you that Ohakim has done nothing.

What about the ongoing bridges that are being built in Owerri? Wouldnt they help with the worsening traffic situation in the city. My people lets not allow rumour and selfish interests of some ruin our state. Continuity is key. Governance is not magic. It takes careful concerted efforts to help move the bar forward. Planning of projects alone could take years, before contracting, mobilizing to site and construction. Today Owerri is a huge construction site with so many ongoing projects. Udenwa never did this. Did anybody call him useless, a dullard, a villain? NO. Why the double standard? Maybe Ohakim says the things people don't want to hear and that makes him the bad guy. Nigerians and Imolites. Wake up.

Not as juicy as amala to gbona felifeli with ogbona soup

seanet02:

seanet02:

ekt_bear:
^-- The senate presidency? Haven't heard any word about it being given to the SE. . . seems NC is the most likely region to keep it.

Speaker of the House seems a fair bet, though. We shall see.

Eko Ile:
The daftness is the other way around. It's not only daft to compare the 3, it's idiotic and moronic. What are you basing your comparison on? Where is the matrix? Are they even functioning on the same leve, same priorites, in same or similar enviroment? Just what. On monorail?

jason123:
The Hausas only started complaining when Igbos in Lagos said they were not given enough post. But c'mon, Fashola has tried to bring everyone regardless of their various ethnic group into his cabinet. Aworis?lol. Even Fashola himself is an Awori man. But really, if an Igbo man such as Ben is better in doing the job than the "Awori" man, then you have to reward him.
About Eko atlantic, which other project in West Africa beats it?? Maybe I am missing something, please let me know.
About the monorails, is Amechi's completed?? The last I heard of it, it was not. Anyway, Rivers still depends on Oil but Lagos does not. Even in ethnic diversity, Lagos beats any state in West Africa, yet, there is no discrimination or violence, so what gives?

Nobody in nigeria is yoruba.

Ok?
