₦airaland Forum

Notable personalities from the Southeast, under the aegis of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum, IECF, have insisted that their geopolitical zone must produce the next president of Nigeria.

They also threatened heavy sanctions against any Igbo politician who accepts to be presidential running mate to any person outside the Southeast zone.

The Chairman of the forum and former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, made the remarks while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
Present are the briefing were the former Minister of Education; Prof. S. C Madubuike; Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo (FCT chapter), Dr. Nkonye Kingsley; His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ibe Nwosu, among several leading Igbo scholars and traditional title holders.

Ezeife insisted that it is either the Southeast is allowed to produce the Nigeria’s next president in 2023 or the region will quit the country.

He said, “Emboldened by the increasing demand and support by credible and patriotic Nigerians for power to shift to the South in 2023, the Igbo Elders Forum hereby encourages visionary, credible and creative presidential materials of South East zone to declare their intension for Presidency and pursue it with every sense of seriousness, vigour and commitment.

“We are very serious about this directive, and do not mean those unserious bootlickers, who are angling to be running mates to candidates from other parts of
the country, as the Igbos will not take it lightly with any of our sons or daughters who accept to be. running mates to any person outside the South East zone in 2023.

“It is either we are allowed to produce the president of this country in 2023 to change the appalling narrative of continued decay, poverty, insecurity, poor governance, corruption and maladministration in Nigeria or out of it. No half measure, as serious sanctions will be visited on any Igbo man or woman that sabotages this noble and patriotic decision of our people to provide for Nigeria a credible, visionary and
creative president.

“Legally, morally, and strategically, it is the turn of the Southeast to produce the next president of the. country as the other zones have been given the opportunity to serve this country in that capacity.”

Ezeife also argued that it is not just for the sake of equity, justice and fairness, but also for a change of narrative of Nigeria, which he described as the sleeping giant of Africa.
In the same vein, the Secretary of IECF, Prof. Charles Nwekeaku, warned that any political party that does not zone its presidential ticket to the Southeast will lose the region’s votes.

“We are waiting for them (political parties), as they will meet their Waterloo this time, if they insist on shortchanging the Southeast people this rare opportunity of producing a credible, patriotic, detribalised and dynamic president of Nigeria in 2023,” he said.

When a Yoruba man will add igbo to his post to draw traffic .. add Yoruba man and see thread die.

Na so e be for everything in this country... igbos brings life to everything ... guess reason why they’re everywhere and still live happily with neighbors

Tell Yoruba man to be everywhere like igbos and see how Nigerians will avoid them like Yoruba thread on Nairaland

Truly Nairaland needs igbos to sell.

So Oga guess Yoruba people are enjoying differently from igbos in. Buhari Presidency

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum( AYCF) has condemned the alleged gruesome murder of 8 Northerners and injuring several others in Abia state.

Alhaji Yerima shettima, National President of the AYCF, said as a group, they are still deeply concerned about the murder of Northerners resident in Abia, who are doing legitimate business.”

“We are also deeply touched by the report of scores of others sustaining various degrees of injury and have now been hospitalized.

Pursuant to this development, we in the AYCF, wish to state as follows:”

‘We condemn in totality this dastardly attack on innocent citizens from the North trading to earn a living.”

“We welcome the prompt response of security agencies and the Abia State Government for going after the killers and rushing the injured ones to the hospital.”

“We urge the Abia State Government to pursue its promise to bring the killers to book, in the spirit of national unity and stability. “

“The AYCF will be following closely the efforts of Abia State Government to fulfil its promise of providing compensation for the families and survivors of the attack”

“We pray this should be last bad news we would hear about innocent Northern traders, from not just Abia but the entire Southeast, in the spirit of national unity and stability,” he said.

Invictuse:
Foolish igbos gorging themselves over Tinubu. The foolishness from this tribe is so appalling.

F22RAPTOR:
Nobody is kicking him oga. This old man is obviously sick, why not go rest and properly take care of himself? He is setting himself up for bigger disgrace. It will never be well with all those supporting him and all the psychophants urging him on because of their greed.

TechSkill:
lol...u think this will work? try another trick...

JOemmy:
You people are well known as noise makers when the time comes igbos in lagos will help you burn down lagos if that's really what u people want.

TechSkill:
God bless you... I discovered this like 3 years ago.

One of them use to portray themselves as Yoruba because they know Yorubas and iGBOS are political enemies. The day I discovered his true ID was during the Irapada event and when Southerners were against grazing... of course, should expect a typical Southerner to Support the South.. this guy supported the North and I quickly pointed it out to everyone that this guy can NEVER be a Southerner.

I am Igbo myself but what your brothers are doing on this thread is why the North will always have upper hand. When Obi was called pandora and was singled out among many, you don't find Igbos creating thread that they are attacking the entire Igbo race because of that...

It is evil to nurse such thought while ignoring the real issue. Tinubu is sick but some persons who are fighting for their own agenda are stylishly trying say people are against Yoruba race. Do not fall for that cheap attemp to guilt trip you...

JOemmy:
If that's the case it means u people are really cowards who can't face ur real enemies. Why can't you go after ur people gazzette or go after afenifere and buhari who have refused to support ur jagapepe selfish heart desires instead u want to go after innocent law abiding igbo people living in lagos who don't even care about nigeria's politics?
You tinibu's miscreants better not try any rubbish with igbo people in lagos during this election period otherwise igbos will surely give you people whatever u are looking for.

You are either mad or about to start.




A Yoruba man, Obasanjo ruled Nigeria from 1976 to 1979.


Another Yoruba man, Abiola won 1992 election which got annuled by an Hausa Head of State.

A Yoruba man, Shonekan was appointed to act as interim President.

In 1999, Nigerians decided to pacify Yorubas for 1992 saga by zoning Presidency to Southwest which helped a Yoruba man, Obasanjo to become President in 1999 to 2007.


Another Yoruba man, Osinbajo became Vice President from 2015 to end in 2023, and here another greedy, corrupt, thieving Yoruba man, Tinubu is warming up to become President from 2023.



Are you people sincere at all to yourselves ?


Is Nigeria a Yoruba nation?


We all condemn Fulanis for being power drunk but the truth is, Yorubas are more power desperate than the Fulanis we all condemn.


Imagine if it were to be Igbos that produced Head of State in 1976, Interim President in 1993, President in 1999, Vice President in 2015 and now desperately clamoring to produce another President in 2023 without considering others how Yorubas would fill.


I am sure the whole media will be awash with all manner of unprintable names hurled at Igbos for being power drunk and inconsiderate. But here are Yorubas being so blind, so wicked, so inhumane, so inconsiderate of the plight of Igbos and yet when Igbos demand to secede peacefully so Yorubas and others can run Nigeria as they please, this same Yorubas start to abuse and insult Igbos and start to form alliance with the North to fight Igbos for trying to leave.



I have never seen a wicked set of people as the present crop of Yorubas we have today, very selfish, wicked, inhumane set of people.
