Mr naptu

This counter-thread of yours is commendable but not exculpatory vindictive or anywhere justifiable.

In a campaign council of almost 1250+ .. You are only able to bring out less than 15 names of Northerners and muslims( Even after jumbbling and scavenging the lenght and breadth of the list. Taking you almost 2hours. I am sure you must have entertained the thought of usage of microscope.

It seems like you did not understand what you read. It didn't take me up to 5 minutes to create that post and I did not list all the Muslims and Northerners on the campaign council. That's why I provided a link.

1) The argument wasn't about the number of Muslims and Northerners on the campaign council. The argument was that they were not given SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS on the council. Therefore, I provided a brief list of Northerners in significant positions. (The chairman, publicity secretary, director of finance, secretary of the advisory council, etc). That's why their positions are in bold type. (There are far more than 15 Northerners on the council. If you want a full list of Northerners, then click on the link or go through the pictures).

2) I did not give a view about whether there are enough northerners and Muslims or not. My reason for creating this thread is simple and straightforward enough. If you say that Muslims and Northerners were schemed out of strategic and important positions, then you must post a list of the positions that Muslims and Northerners hold. He didn't do that, instead he only posted the positions that southerners hold.

Anyway, I'm sure that you know all these (for example, you didn't question why he only listed a few Southerners and not all Southerners, yet you are questioning me about listing a few Northerners). You are just opposing for politics sake and I'm not interested in that kind of thing.

Members of the campaign council (source: https://labourparty.com.ng/presidential-campaign-supplementary-list/).

Tonye Barcanista claimed that Mr Peter Obi "Strategically schemed out Northerners and Muslims from strategic positions in his Presidential Campaign Council". He also claimed that "Obi's Campaign team is heavily "Anambranised" and "Christianised". He listed some southern and Christian members of the campaign council to back up his claim. See here:

However, he did not list the Northern and Muslim members of the campaign council so that people can judge for themselves. Therefore, in the interest of balance and fairness, I am going to list some Northern and Muslim members of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council.

I'll begin by highlighting some of them, then I will post lists of members of the council for you to judge for yourself.


Chairman of the campaign council: AIG Mohammed Zarewa (Muslim. Kano State)

Spokesman of the campaign council: Dr Tanko Yunusa (Muslim. Kaduna State)

Director of finance: Dr Atiku Saleh (Muslim. Kano State)

Deputy Campaign Manager: Isaac Balami (Christian. Borno State)

Secretary of the Advisory Council Omar Farouk Ibrahim


Others are:

Yusuf Maitama, Deputy Director-General (North), Joseph Ndira (Coordinator North-Central), Alhassan Fawu (Coordinator North-East) and Audie Mohammed (Coordinator North-West).
