A human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to zone the 2023 presidency to a candidate from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, whether from the South-East or South-South of the country.

The activist explained that it was ideal a presidential candidate emerges from that part of the country to lay to rest the permanent feeling of disenchantment amongst the Igbos.


In an open letter to the president, obtained by SaharaReporters on Wednesday, Adeyanju added that having a Presidential candidate from the South-East will help to disabuse the mind of the citizens on the anti-Igbo perception people have of Buhari.

Adeyanju also said an Igbo presidency will help to repair Nigeria's badly damaged economy owing to the business acumen of the Igbos adding that it will also help in national healing.

His letter reads, “As a preliminary point, please accept my commendation over your leadership role in the recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries.

“Considering the almost Siamese relationship between political parties and governance in the country, it was a huge relief to note that the two leading political parties successfully conducted their respective conventions and elected national officers without crisis.

“As you may be aware, the Independent National Electoral Commission recently released the timetable for electioneering activities towards the 2023 general elections.

“By the said timetable, all political parties would have picked their presidential candidate not later than 2nd June 2022. Sequel to the above, it is common knowledge that the APC has zoned its presidential candidacy to Southern Nigeria.

“However, I am using this medium to urge you to leverage on your influence in the party towards zoning the office of the president to a candidate from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, whether from the South-East or South-South of the country.

“I am sure that your highly successful template of electing a consensus APC party chairman can be deployed towards electing a consensus APC presidential candidate of Igbo extraction.

“There are numerous reasons why a presidential candidate from that part of the country is most ideal at this time of the nation’s development. Since General Aguiyi Ironsi’s unfortunate demise in 1966, no person of South Eastern extraction has governed Nigeria.


“Sadly, this undeniable and systematic exclusion has created a largely subconscious and increasingly permanent feeling of disenchantment amongst the Igbos.

“In a country where tribe and ethnicity continue to play important role in our daily affairs, it is inexcusable that the Igbos have been denied a shot at the highest office in the land for so long.

“Additionally, picking a presidential candidate from the South East will go a long way to disabuse the mind of the citizens on the anti-Igbo perception currently being associated with your name. It can therefore be said that President Buhari did what any of his forebears failed to do.

“Furthermore, the Igbos are known for their business acumen. An Igbo presidential candidate will be able to repair our badly damaged economy and continue the path of restoration that you have started.

“In addition to the foregoing, our country needs national healing. We cannot heal our fault lines if we continue to deny one region the right to produce a president. Since 1999, the Yorubas have occupied the office of the president and vice president for 15 years.

“They have also been Speaker of the House of Representatives for 8 years. It will, therefore, amount to a great injustice for a Yoruba candidate to succeed you in office and stay for another eight years.

“Indeed, if a Yoruba person were to succeed you in office, that would mean they would have been President for a period even more than the entire northern Nigeria since our return to democratic government.

“I understand that a lot of pressure is being mounted on you, at this time, to pick political convenience over national unity. However, I am optimistic that you will use this opportunity to repair your legacy and retire as a respected elder statesman. Nigeria needs an Igbo president in 2023.”

Peter Obi focuses too much on statistics.
His campaign team should advise him.
Not everything has to do with figures.
There should be practical ways and solutions

Trending tweet of Femi Fani Kayode cursing Buhari, Tinubu and Sanwolu for the massacre of Nigeria youths at lekki tollgate . Today the same Femi is asking Nigeria to Vote for Tinubu. What an irony?

Thugs attacked a physically challenged Northerner in Lagos. This is heartbreaking. This is barbaric and should be condemned.

Dear Nigerian Youth, when that time comes to cast your vote, remember the pain and sadness from October 2020, remember the lack of an enabling environment for you to succeed as a citizen of Nigeria. By then, No one will need to tell you who to vote for!!!

Reno omokri is an assliker.

please take it easy

This what Reno twitted "This election cycle has shown how tolerant the North and SW are. They are the only places where you can openly campaign for ALL candidates. In some places, if you try to campaign for certain candidates, death, injury, or harassment will be your portion! Am I lying?"

#TableShaker

Let fact check if is true or Not. In 2015 this what Oba of Lagos said .

"I’m not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi (Agbaje) is my blood relation and I told him that he cannot be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere, don’t do it here.

“If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you. If you go against my wish, you will perish in the water.”

In July 24, 2013 Formal Governor of Lagos State Fashola deported many igbos residents to Onitsha, the move that generated wild criticism that made him to apologize to igbo people. How can a citizen of a country deported in his own country?

VERDICT:
Reno omokri claims are false as it's Opposite to what he wrote because never in the history was any South Eastern group or South South treating any candidate from another region from campaigning or the people from voting. We can only find the incidence happen either in the North or SW.

It won't make a front page because it concern Peter Obi but if is daily trust facts check inconclusive with fake username created by Tinubu supporter with there comments line up on the page one before they push it to front page.

Snapchat:
I don't know why you ipobic guys are never tired of propaganda. Na concocted stories dey make back of una head flat if you no know. This one just carry phone dey write wetin commot for him head because he know say is fellow obidense go swallow everything hook line and sinker, abi how dem dey talk am.

SMH!!

whatever you don't know is bigger than you. You have right to your opinion I'm not asking you to believe it.

Information I'm getting from a reliable source is that APC and Tinubu are paying celebrities to speak in support of him or have their properties forfeited mostly in Lagos. Even Asari Dokubo is paid to deliver Niger Delta, Nigeria must wake up and rise against this few evil politicians that hijack this nation.

dreu2fine:
How many mosque has he visited
Nobody is complaining now that Peter Obi is busy visiting churches.

Peter Obi can not go where he is not invited, has any Muslim worshipers invited him to mosque and he refused to attend. Campaign have not started yet

How can this news get to front page. So Nairaland has turn to fake news promoter. So Tinubu supporter hijack Nairaland, Yoruba and tribalism is like 5 and 6.?

Now we know better.

A serpent will always be a serpent.

Heartbreaking may her soul and that of her son fight for their killers.

Reno is a clown

Reno omokri is an evil man very deceitful an agent off darkness who can go any length tarnishing someone image just for a peanut . Is now clear to everyone that he can never be trusted. Today the same IPOB he was praising has become Peter Obi supporters.

The same way Oduduwa died natural death

Tinubu’s people promised me N100,000 but paid only N40,000: Fake Catholic Bishop
“I am a Christian and I am supporting Tinubu but I hate when people lie and fail to deliver on their promises,” Joseph Odaudu told Peoples Gazette.

TOSIN AJUWON • JULY 20, 2022

Fake bishop and Tinubu
One of the fake bishops apparently hired by Bola Tinubu’s campaign for the public presentation of Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has narrated how he was paid for the appearance.



The imposter, who identified himself to Peoples Gazette as Joseph Odaudu, said Mr Tinubu’s hirelings broke a mutual agreement to be paid N100,000 for the shady job.



“They came to meet us at the car park behind Eagle Square and they promised to give me N100,000. They bought food for us and took us to another place where they gave us clothes to dress like Christian leaders and reverend fathers,” Mr Odaudu told The Gazette shortly after the event in Abuja on Wednesday. “But after we finished they only gave me N40,000 and another person said they got only N30,000. I don’t know why they changed our agreement because they said they had N100,000 for us.

“I am a Christian and I am supporting Tinubu but I hate when people lie and fail to deliver on their promises,” he added.

A spokesman for Mr Tinubu’s campaign did not immediately return a request seeking comment.

The fake bishops had appeared in a cassock to give Christian voters a false impression that Mr Tinubu’s decision to pick a Muslim northerner as his running-mate for the 2023 general election meant well for the country despite strong criticism from the Christian community and opinion leaders in the country.

The Catholic Church had described those who appeared at the event held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja as “impostors,” telling The Gazette the church had no representation at the event.



When asked if he knew that it was illegal to disguise as a Catholic bishop, Mr Odaudu insisted he didn’t break any laws.

“No law was broken we only tried to show Nigerians that Christians are solidly behind Asiwaju Tinubu,” he added.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had kicked against the choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket and registered its opposition against the ruling decision of the ruling All Progressives Congress for the 2023 election.

Also, Christian leaders in the APC had repeatedly warned that the same religion ticket would spell doom for the party, following reactions and heavy criticism

Obi is an IPOB turned Unity Begging Nomadic Igbo Desperate Gaslighting Project. Obi will perform even worse than this in the SouthSouth and NorthCentral and will be a no show in the far North. Bottom line: Obi is a fraud and Igbos are toxic.

The same Obi MASSOB and IPOB accused of killing it members are IPOB project.

buksarki:
Let no one decieve you about obidient being online sensation using something like Ekiti state and Osun as example. This is actual reason Obi never wanted to attend rally in Ekiti because he knows that Obidient movement is all about 2023 presidential election not about LP and it candidates at state level. He knows that labour party will start from president down to state. Nigeria have no problem voting APC and PDP candidates at state level based on individual candidates but at presidential level what every Nigeria youth want is Obi. If is possible for Obi to contest without political party I'm sure he would have chosen to do just that because he understand that is not about political party but individual.

We all know that brother. APC and PDP are simple using that to deceive Nigeria youth. Obi is not about party but individual, they where pushing him to go for rally in Ekiti and Osun of which he doesn't want but to fulfill all righteousness he had to accept to attend the rally in Osun State.

APC have started sharing garri and Rice in Osun state ahead of Saturday Gubernatorial Election .
