If you are talking of fairness North has no business with 2023,the south should be left to pick the best amongst them to contest.

Why are Igbos afraid of going head to head with Yorubas in a party primary or main election

Against a northerner, it's either we win or lose.

Both have happened in time past.

Nothing new.

Grayoso:


Because every Igbo knows the truth they are too hypocritical and dishonest to admit which is that an Igbo cannot win any major electoral popularity contest against almost anyone in Nigeria let alone the other big ethnic groups.

Just cannot happen because that is how unpopular and poorly supported Igbos are. Whether at Party level or at public vote level Deservedly, Igbos cannot win. Deservedly so for being a trouble-making and hateful people.

The average Igbo knows this as well but they prefer playing games blackmailing people and trying to guilt-trip them into stepping aside for them. Jokers.

Thats what I keep saying Yoruba shouting southern presidency are not doing it in the interest of fairness and equality and unless you want to decieve yourself if both pdp and apc pick their candidate from southern Nigeria pdp will loose woefully, because ipob no elections in biafra land will really affect pdp chance in their stronghold,the only chance pdp have to get back to power is Northern candidate (not atiku)if Yoruba really serious about southern presidency let apc too pick their presidential candidate from South East, abi there is no reasonable igbo in apc that can be given their party tickets?im for the betterment of this country and if apc give osibanjo their ticket today I will personally campaign and vote for him but Tinubu is no no for me and it should be for every sensible Nigerian because he is just buhari pro max.

LLiKYekoba:


In 1999 SE voted a yorubaman (OBJ) whether he was supported by yoruba or not is immaterial.

If you are looking for SE politicians that Igbos do not really like (just as yorubas did not like OBJ) but are in the incumbent party with yorubas, there are so many of them, pick them and support them like East picked OBJ and supported him in the 'Southern unity' project.

The most important thing is that a SEner must emerge, just as a yorubaman emerged in 1999 at all costs, heads or tail.

That's all we ask.

Like east pick obj and support him?

Thank you Mr/Mrs pickers

LegendHero:


Falae was our candidate in 1999.

If Peter Obi and Okorocha were to be on a ticket, who will the Ibos vote for? Peter Obi right?

So if the Yorubas now go ahead to vote Okorocha to spite the Ibos, will you say we supported your candidate?

That was the case in ‘99. And for 2003, you did no one a favor because you will never vote Buhari so you just went for the best alternative.

LegendHero:


Well in 1998, Yoruba in PDP fought for the ticket because Ekueme contested against OBJ in the PDP presidential primaries.

If you are not well vast in politics, let me provide you with the result of that primary election.

- OBASANJO 67.98%
-ALEX EKWUEME 21.36%
-DON ETIEBET 4.35%
-GRAHAM DOUGLAS 2.91%
-JIM NWOBODO 2.42%
-PHILIP ASIODU 0.49%
-FRANCIS ELLAH 0.49%

Now ask yourself, where did Ekueme got his 21.36% votes if not the Igbos? You never voted OBJ in the primaries.

You only agreed to vote him because in the proper election, he is competing with Falae a Yoruba supported candidate to continue your antagonistic crusade since 1959.

So bro, using the same analogy, we are saying Ibos should contest the APC primaries and if they emerge victorious, we Yorubas will give the candidate our support.

As for PDP, we don’t care what happens there just as Igbos don’t care too much what happened in AD in 1999. Sefini!

LLiKYekoba:


You can continue your self-deceit propaganda. You stand where you stand, we stand rooted to where we stand. If it's only about voter's strenght not equity, justice and fairness, because you hate to see the East benefit, then go and wrestle the presidency alone from the north.. Case closed.

No emotional reply. You are simply the best. See how you are teaching them history chai.

Ì wonder how a Yoruba apc candidate will win the presidency in 2023 if pdp select a candidate from the north and a se/ss vp.The whole north will vote for a northern candidate. Ssse are 90% pdp. How will a Yoruba apc candidate win with buhari down and out?

NaijirianKing:
PDP is prepared to offer the NC/NE the presidency, 2 regions that have never held such a position. I personally think the NC should be given the ticket for national unity, however the internal workings will reveal how things go as time moves forward. Moreover, the SE will be given the VP ticket, this is true inclusion. What is the better offer for the SE or NC/NE? The answer is nothing.

APC wants to give a region that will have 16 years as President/VP the ticket again before others in the south. This will spell doom for APC as NW/NE/NC + SE/SS equals victory. The SW is politically isolated. The only way to beat the North is for APC to offer the ticket to the NC/NE before PDP does.

Politics is about uniting interests of various parties, not selfish ambition of party members.

SweetVibe:


They are waiting for Buhari to help them rig election.

SIRTee15:


I'm Yoruba but I want a southerner from either SE/SS to get the presidency in 2023. I don't support a Yoruba presidency.
Present Yoruba generation are too pro nigerian for my liking. Na them carry nigerian unity for head pass.

Besides, I don't trust any Yoruba politician to initiate the so much desired restructuring we desperately need in this country.
They are too comfortable with the present structure and only hope to be in charge..taking the larger portion of the cake.

South south politicians have learnt their lessons with Jonathan. They won't wait for any 2nd term to strike.

Though some ibo politicians no get sense, but the undying agitation for biafra in that region will be too hard for any ibo president to ignore. Something has to give..at least restructuring.

SweetVibe:
Since PDP hints about zoning their Presidency to the north in 2023,the south west has been restless,paranoid, crying and fearful.I notice they have activated a full propaganda to support a southern president in 2023 because it will favour but I have questions to ask

(1) why is the south west concern about who PDP chose for 2023 when they have little or no stake in PDP?

(2) why did the south west betray the south in 2015 to get VP position but now is against the south east or south south from be VP to another northern candidate.

It seems the south west are trying to play smart but the south east governors and south south leaders are wiser than them.

bobowaja:

No one ever told you Yoruba are scared. We have done so twice in the past and not scared to do so in the future. We know how to play our politics. It is you guys opening threads upon threads on Yoruba matters.

Una suppose don tire.

NaijirianKing:
The fact is that the North is looking for fairness and balance. The NC has been left out in the cold, and rather than doubling down, the North has decided to make the NC the flagbearer, this is fair.

The southern unity is based on a farce that other parts of the south are not falling for. the SE is yet to produce a president or even a VP, and yet the SW is pushing southern unity to bring about a SW candidate and yet you are criticizing the North for pushing for a NC presidential candidate?

Where does the deception end and truth begin? People are wiser now, the North is offering the NC the Presidency and the SE the VP, who has a better deal for either zones? The SW wants the presidency at the expense of the south and that will lead to failure.

Politics is not about sentiments but offering people what is in their interest. It is not in the interest of the SE/SS for the SW to once again have the presidency after voting against the SS and trying to move in front of the SE to have the presidency twice before that region has it once. If the SW was truly for unity of the south they would line up behind the SE and push a southern candidate.

The North may be behind in certain areas, but the North understands politics and how the game is played. NC Presidency and SE VP is the winning ticket. The SW is politically on an island, not embraced by the greater south and positioning themselves against the North. You see where that will leave you.

Enough talk.
