OPINION: Why Igbos Should Support A Tinubu Presidency by HelloWriter(op): 9:14pm On Dec 04, 2021
Igbos were the most outspoken section of the country against a Buhari Presidency prior to 2015 presidential race. It seems that Igbos now have the bragging right to tell other Nigerians, "but we told you".

Once again, Igbos are the most outspoken against the possibility of a Tinubu Presidency. It can be understood why most Igbos are against a Tinubu Presidency.

I was against the Tinubu Presidential ambition until I looked at it more closely. A Tinubu Presidency will actually favor Igbos. See how...

In 1997 (only 2 years before Bola Tinubu became the Governor of Lagos), he was quoted by a ThisDay report as saying "I don't believe in One Nigeria".

If you think that Tinubu has changed this view, please, think again because, as it is said, "old beliefs die hard".

It is unthinkable that Tinubu has changed a political view he held only 2 years before becoming the Governor of Lagos in 1999. In addition to this, Tinubu has been an eloquent advocate of restructuring. As a political viewpoint, restructuring is very close to the breakup of the country.

Most Igbos advocate for either outright breakup or restructuring of the country. Unknown to many of them, they have an ally in Tinubu on this.

It's just that Tinubu is a master tactician. He's careful not to expose his plans to those guys in the North. I won't say more than this.
