Gowon built on it
But Ironsi introduced no propaganda can change such

jarkbauer:
Na so. Everytime this happens you hear they didn't give them any notice only to find out they've given them 4 notices

davien:
Just look what the first poster is saying, very soon the next generation will start killing themselves over tribal differences.

Heathrow44:
Any governor that has maintained law and order which is the fundamental basis of a government is doing well, at least it can't be termed a failed state but being a good governor in a failed state is not enough, Ugwuanyi is doing well but not enough, he needs to find ways of generating IGR for the state and do more of social services and leave elephant projects!

Anago55:
. you voted out Saraki because Tinubu told you to do so. you voted him out because Tinubu told you that Saraki is corrupt

something is wrong with the lQ of an average Afonja man

Vectorex:

Mrtaye:
It's not about blackmail I am a Yoruba guy but truth be told Igbos deserve the presidency because it's there turn

As a real omoluabi I fully support igbo presidency come 2023!

NSUKKA — Following the call by an elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakassi, for Igbo presidency in 2023, the former national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, has declared that Ndigbo would join Nnamdi Kanu, to seek Biafra secession from Nigeria if South-East does not produce the president of the country in 2023.

Nwodo, who was also the former governor of Enugu State and national secretary of PDP said that Ndigbo have suffered grievous marginalisation in Nigeria and should be given a chance to produce a president for the sake of equity and national unity.

He said this during an exclusive interview with Vanguard on Tuesday, adding that South-East geopolitical zone has been persecuted for over 50 years even though the region is more patriotic than any other geopolitical zone in terms of economic development of the nation.

He said “Yakassi’s call is very fair and that is the correct thing. In the first republic, the country was led by Tafawa Balewa, in the second republic, it was led by Shehu Shagari. And then, those of us in PDP made a very strong case to move the presidency to South East, because even the military people were all from the north, apart from Aguiyi Ironsi who presided over for a very short time.

“We managed to convince them at the party and Olusegun Obasanjo and Alex Ekwueme contested. That was when Obasanjo won and after his tenure, he handed power to another northerner, late Alhaji Musa Yar’Adua who unfortunately died in office and the Vice president completed the tenure. President Muhammadu Buhari will complete his eight years in office by 2023. Following equity, the presidency should come to the South-East because Obasanjo was president for eight years, now Yemi Osibanjo is also the vice president and would finish his eight-year tenure by 2023.

“So, in Southern Nigeria, it would be a total disaster if we do not produce the next president because we have been terribly marginalised since the end of the civil war. For 50 years now, we have been persecuted for having fought for freedom. When will this marginalisation stop? Anybody who loves Nigeria and who wishes Nigeria well should go for Igbo Presidency in 2023 for unity, fairness, equity and for Nigeria to move forward.

“It is only an Igbo man who will not marginalise any part of Nigeria because we constitute the semen that hold the country together. We are the only tribe that you find in every nook and cranny of Nigeria; doing business and developing wherever they are as if it was

“I don’t believe that the Igbos are not united, there has never been a time when any region produced a consensus candidate, everybody emerged through primary elections. The last election was zoned to the north and Atiku Abubakar contested with other aspirants before he emerged PDP’s candidate, so did Buhari contest with other candidates before emerging the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC. There is no zone that has produced a candidate by consensus. It doesn’t matter how many people are interested, they will be subjected to party primaries and the person with highest vote will win.

“I agree with Nnamdi Kanu in everything he says about the marginalisation of the Igbos. He, more than any other person has put it on the international map. If Nigeria tells the elites from South East that they would be treated as second class citizens in Nigeria, and that they can never be president, almost all of them will go with Kanu to fight for Biafra.

Anybody who wants to be a second-class citizen can support whoever he wants. Any Igbo man who wants to bequeath secured future for himself and generation yet unborn should support this call for Igbo presidency. In the spirit of fairness and equity, Nigeria should give the presidency to South East in 2023, otherwise, we will join him and fight for Biafra.

mamotalk:
can't you see from the revelation coming out from different probes that APC steal these days? also be guided that the big money that Oshiomole made from last year election is no where to be found because he pocketed all. the noise of Iyamu getting new convert each day is from these funds.

Dannonye:
Excuse you

Your conclusion that I'm Igbo makes you one of the blind men in the land of the blind.
I am a Nigerian stating the obvious.Same way I'll say Osibanjo has applaudable qualifications.

For your info the whole of Nigeria lacks good leadership. You can add religious bodies if you can.

Lol....ofc with all that money he has looted and continues to loot directly or indirectly,his laces must be really difficult to tie or untie.

I'm not praising any I'm just stating facts.I gain nothing from being partial.None of them even know my Papa.

Lagos or Anambra
I haven't lived in Anambra so I don't know.I just know I can succeed where ever I go by God's grace.


Peace out

Igbochief001:
Even if obaski loses oshomole political godfatherism is dead ....that's just the truth

Pastor is not someone u can control , obaseki has fought like a man , stood by what he believes ...even oshomole would respect him that's the truth

Him not dishing out money for this election made me like him the more

Scream:
...we are the ones in the position to tell them both. Oshio should know that the he is fighting to win a battle...but the war is lost. He didn't learn the politics well. Very impatient and greedy...now kneeling down, eating corn, on every TV and radio station...what a man!

SmartProf:
If the market women really want to find out the real 'simple agenda', they should visit the nearest EFCC office and search EFCC's case files for one of it's customers name called Ize Iyamu. All the fraudulent petitions they see around his name is the Simple agenda.

YoungLionken:
The Chinese are just like the Igbos of Nigeria. They're business minded rather than going to war.

They want their country to be independent economically and otherwise.

Rapid growth and development.

They're more interested in making their citizens billionaire, just like the Nigerian government have always wanted Dangote to be and stay on top.


China is one of the smartest countries in the world if you asked me.

Yet,an atheist country...

Esseite:
A better judgement of his character would have been with handling the treasury of a state rather than word of mouth of a supposed politocal opponent.

He never said said he had only one wristwatch, there are countless individuals that have one wristwatch till it goes un-repairable bad before they opt for another..

Esseite:
And they never used it against his VP candidature in 2019..

The only Governor proven to have left 2years worth of IGR allocation in Anambra coffers.. if he left such massive debt, how come Anambra is the lowest indebted state?

It's just common sense.

searchng4love:
the disgraced sacked national chairman has done all that is needed. Don't bother

Esseite:
You can do well to come up with just one proven allegation from any angle at all, you can include his children aswell... even tax.

Eriokanmi:
lol. I watched it last night. If you need veritable information, don't go to social media. Watch channels tv and read newspapers to avoid confusion. It's too late to begin attacking any candidate now. Did you hear what obaseki kinsmen said yesterday? They expected Godwin to be sharing money with them. State money oo. They said obaseki locked them out of government for 4 years despite their support for him lool. They now said they're endorsing ize-iyamu because he wouod not do the same. They want to be sharing our money we never reach before, No way!. Next month should come fast. Obaseki had warned the foreign thugs and ballot boxes hijackers yesterday on Channels tv, wishing them luck and I'm sure you know what that means. If they need their life, they should stay in lagos or osun otherwise, they're welcome to see fire.

Benbellamor:
Did anybody observes the loss of the usual confidence on oshoiomole face on channels television? It exposes how Obaseki has humiliated him
Oshiomole looks like bursting into crying deflated of his normal charisma

Obaseki.....you baaaad
