Okorocha didn't hid his greed and disregard for Imo people, I'm talking as an Igbo man. Nigerians may love him more, but he's not regarded down East.

He did his best for Imo people but some people (not all) disliked him because of the party he belongs to which they hate for the fact that Buhari's government failed to accommodate every part of the country in his appointments. Buhari's lopsided appointments and seeming neglect of the southeast is the genesis of hatred for APC, and by extension, APC's politicians in the region including Rochas.

Nice one, I hope they can circulate this nationally especially to the leaders of the 2 major parties in Naija.....We should desist from cheating other regions if we want Nigeria to be BLESSED and progress. We need to avoid other members of the family feeling aggrieved or left out of governance.

For APC: Dave Umahi
For PDP: Peter Obi

Who says the East doesn't have people to steer the leadership of Nigeria?

When did Dave Umahi join APC?
So those that put their political lives at stake and risk their lives against PDP in 2015 and 2019 should be overlook for a new comer because of some phantom fairness created by south eastern politicians that can’t compete but want to use the nonsense sentiment

Nobody will give/surrender you any political power for some phantom “equity and fairness”, you will go out there and sweat for it

ahiboilandgas:
it has backfired

To complete the list, they should have added Abaribe.

Nonsense

Misterdhee1:
LOL, Okorocha has more national appeal than Tinubu? Some comments on nairaland eh

I swear these people are a bunch of jokers, if they even put forward someone like Onyeama (foreign minister), Agbakogba or someone with some stature I will understand, instead you put forward caricatures, imbeciles, miscreants and court jesters!!!

it's an indictment of the ibos if these are the people you can put forward to represent you nationally!!!

Peter Obi is just the best amongst the rest...

But because Nigeria is given to a gloomy cul de sac anytime before Jesus tarries, it would keep electing devils

chukwuaustin:
The Leader of Igbo Youths in Nigeria and Diaspora Comarade Chukwuma Dike, has listed names of SouthEast politicians that the rest of Nigerians can choose from...

They are for Apc
1, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu
2, Senator Ken Nnamani
3, Governor Dave Umahi

For PDP
1,Mr Peter Obi
2,Hon Emeka Ihedioha
3, Senator Ike Ekweremadu

This list is not arrange in no particular order.....
For fairness all the political parties should choose their candidate from the SouthEast like it happened in 1999. When all the political parties choosed from the southwest....

Thank you
Chukwuma Dike
Igbo Youths in Nigeria and Diaspora

Have you taken your time to find out why the parties picked their candidates from the South West in 1999?

2ndly, on your list of candidates, it's only Senator Ken Nnamani that I see to be well matured to carry all the 6 geopolitical zones without hatred.

Mikesparkle7:
Only Peter Obi deserves to be on that list, the rest are potential looters.
But trust Nigerians Sha... Dem and corrupt politicians are inseparable.

Don't. underrate Umahi.
The guy can show full working. I drove through Ebonyi road this Easter.

I don't know where the guy is getting another allocation from bcs his project cannot be Abuja allocation alone

If peter Obi is truly the best on that list, then the Igbos have no hope

Anyone the North support is a winner already. As the country stands now, i advice Igbos to cooperate with the Northerners and get what they want.

Orji Uzor Kalu and Rochas were born, raised and schooled in the North. they speak hausa language fluently. A vote for them is a vote for the North. i can't say for other candidates

Understand your history, the North can and will never be ruled by Ibos. Thank nzeogwu for the death of Sardauna and Balewa!!!

Orji Uzor Kalu was neither born in the North nor can he speak Hausa fluently, yes, he had his university education in UNIMAD, and that was just it

Better candidate for who? The only people who take Okorocha seriously it seems are ibos. To every else he is a clown and a buffoon and has always been perceived that way outside the SE.

You need to understand that a presidential election is not about who is acceptable to ibos but who is acceptable to Nigerians. it's not your votes that is going to make him president, but the votes of other regions, so what matters is how these people are perceived outside Ibo land. The Ibo brand is a hard sell without you putting forward these imbeciles, clowns and jesters simply because they are acceptable to you.

Your political leaders are seen as bufoons!!! The only names on that list that have any remote acceptability outside the SE are Soludo and Obi...and they have no chance!!!!

Yea ! Okorocha is not that acceptable among Igbos.

I learnt the north likes him.

because he is a clown. it's one thing for them to use him, it's another to hand over to him.

ChiefOloye:
Igbo don't have stake in APC (the terrorists party). They should concentrate on PDP. Meanwhile, they should continue with ESN.

And who will vote PDP into power when the swing regions of Nigeria NW and SW and locked for APC.

Everything is about Pol science 101; theory and practice of government and politics. You have to understand how elections are won.

It was only GEJ in 2011 that didn't win NW and still won the presidential election. GEJs 2nd election failed because the second swing region SW joined the first against him. Atiku in 2019 failed because he couldn't win neither of the NW or SW.

You always need 1 or both to win. SEasteners don't see a reason to ally with Hausa or Yoruba, I wonder how they can win a presidential election.

dangote is a very wicked man,

let us join hands to bring down this man by all means.

how can you be this super rich and most of all your country men are poor?

why do you want to kill other industries all because of this your useless games of monopoly?

you are wicked and foolish for all this dominance on us over the years!

i want all other investors and industries to wake up and build more refinaries so we Nigerians can have enough jobs.

just go to sapele Benin city and there is no single job there.

the youths are just only lurking around playing bet9ja.

please Nigerians needs more jobs now than ever.

i think its high time we start burning down all dangote trucks and businesses nationwide

if dangote can not crash down the prize of cement i think he should pack his loads and leave this Nigeria for good and never return.


ahhhhh!

whalahi this dangote is so wicked!
i want the youths to deal mercilessly with him from today

Which injustice?

If you want to use old regional block: we have North, West and East, the so-called Nigeria TRIPOD: if we are to go by that Jonathan already took the turn of the Eastern region

If we are to use tribe, then the other over 200 remaining tribes in Nigeria can equally lay claim to what Igbos are shouting about.

I don’t really get where this equity and justice rubbish is coming from

It’s simply the turn of the SOUTH and it’s open to everyone in the south without exception, the same reason Igbos gave the yorubas that there is no going to be micro zoning of the PDP chairmanship that they eventually helped Secondus to clinch.

Every decision have consequences

kenny1313:
The Truth is that Rochas is the only Igbo man an Hausa man can Vote, The top dogs in the east knows this that's why they are dragging his name to the mud in any given chance.

Northern has the Highest Voting population in Nigeria.
Rochas Okorocha is a house hold name in the whole north.

You're right.. From all S.E politicians, Rochas has the widest national appeal from North to South. Unfortunately his style of governance isn't ok.

I see lots of folks here supporting Peter Obi, no doubt he's good.. But Peter Obi doesn't have national appeal like Rochas, OUK, even Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu

In my submission, IF ONLY Igbo candidates are to be voted by all Nigeria, the first 5 most preferred will be:

1. Rochas Okorocha
2. Ogbonnanya Onu
3. Dave Umahi
4. Peter Obi
5. Kingsley Moghalu

No one from these men can rule Nigeria.

No, but your convicted brown teeth drug barron can rule Nigeria?
Nigeria is the country with a confused brain dead man as the president.

This is the eternal unforgivable sin of the Ibos against the Northerners

This is what Ibos dont understand!!!! They dont seem to understand the gravity of what they did in 1966 and the lasting effect on the pysche of the Northerner. Everything that has happenned to Nigeria since....the current structure, creation of states, resource control. the distribution of key posts in the military etc etc is to weaken and contain the ibos politically/militarily....and then they will now hand over power to them especially with Biafra agitations?

They should use their brains!!

Restructuring is the only solution....not yoruba presidency or Igbo presidency.

BigSarah:
Umahi

Peter Obi

Ouk

Kingsley moghalu

Madam Oby

My pick in no particular order

Madam Ngozi Okojo-WAHALA

Umahi is the only fit one among them.

Oracleforce:
Madam Ngozi Okojo-WAHALA

Ngozi cannot contest for any political post in Nigeria ever again, she cant even be appointed a commisioner because she took up US citizenship!

As far as politic landscape of Nigeria is concerned, she's out of the picture for good!!!

Stop overrating Peter Obi bro.. Granted he's very good, but not the best from the S.E

Peter Obi doesn't have national appeal like the likes of Rochas, OUK, Onu, i bet even Umahi.

forgiveness:
Umahi is the only fit one among them.

Gbam!

None of those on the APC list makes sense. I think Dr Ogbonaya Onu should be on any APC list.

As for the PDP, Ekweremadu should not be on the list. Ihedioha looks promising but I don't think he will be trusted. Little seems to be known about him in other parts of Nigeria. Peter Obi is known and loved by people from other parts of Nigeria, he is a businessman and people known he can fix the mess Buhari created.
