OfoIgbo:
We will know who the minorities are in 2023.

Tinubu will be disgraced. You are about to find out the voting strength of the Igbos

We affect percentages in many non-Igbo states including Lagos and Abuja.

Tinubu, the great betrayer of the south is about to taste the resolve of the Igbos.
He was allowed to get away with his betrayal in 2015. This time around, he will be so emotionally traumatized with the response
Ipobs are the ones emotionally traumatized not Tinubu...the fact that he is contesting without giving a shit shows a his not emotional like those who keeps wailing because of his ambition...


Who did Tinubu betrayed exactlyhuh

So you guys should stop faulting the current Igbo move. Presidency going to the south in 2023 is not a must. Igbos, who haven't tasted the presidency for many decades will not be supporting Tinubu, out of any southern solidarity mirage.

Let Yorubas quit threatening the north with Nigeria's break-up if a southerner is not the president. It won't work.

The SE will not support any cunning moves in that direction. The southeast will support a region of the north that hasn't had the presidency for a while. They are more deserving of the presidency than Tinubu, after all, since 1999 Yorubas have been in the presidency for 16 years.

I don't see any threat.

It is just a political move. That's all

Where did Yoruba ever fault Igbo moves? you people are the ones calling Yoruba's betrayals and all sought of names when Jonathan lost the election...did any Yoruba stop Igbo candidates from contesting? you guyz have been threatening fire and brimstone if Tinubu did not support Igbo candidate..while you asslick Atiku who does that? Your leaders have been threatening the whole Nigeria with breakup if Igbo are denied the ticket but you see nothing wrong with that and Yoruba's are your problems, Tinubu is not begging for support so vote with him or against is your choice..that won't stop him from contesting.

Stop dreaming about something that will never happen in 100 years.
Do you really expect other tribes to vote for you after you've insulted them continuously?
I'd rather vote for a goat than vote for a Biafran.

You still not get it. Buhari contest for president in 5times and he lost it he chosen igbo as vice president he still lost the presidency. He contest and allied with Yoruba and he won. You know the difference now
Oplomo:
If your yorubas were so 'consequential', how come your Awolowo and Falae kept losing elections? How come your yoruba votes couldn't help them?

Why all these ?
Let's support the East for the 2023 elections and stop our animosity towards them.



About Buhari issue you mentioned, He chose an Yoruba man ( Tunde Back are) but also lost so I don't see why . . .

Tinubu is likely to loose the 11 states of the SS and SE. He won't even make up to 25% in any of them, except in Edo state.

The SS and SE will use this opportunity to pay him back for his 2015 moves
The SE will also stick in a knife on his presidential ambition, for not supporting the emergence of an SE president.

I also expect Lawan to win most of the NE and NW states, and I doubt Tinubu will be able to secure up to 25% from any of those states.
The middlebest will be a tug of war, which will still favour Lawan.

Let Tinubu bring it on. That was exactly how he miscalculated in Edo state

Where is your brain ?

Why didn't Buhar win when he contested with Bakare in 2011, is Tunde Bakere not yoruba,?... Ewedu mentality, smh..


Meanwhile igbos are rejecting Buhari since 2003 because he's a disaster and has been been confirmed, meaning that Igbos have been vindicated...

For you guys to accept Buhari shows that you eat leftovers and rejected products simply because they dangled vc to you which igbos don't even value...


All these kids that started following politics in 2015 sef undecided

To sustain the balance of forces between North and South Nigeria, it is expedient and pragmatic for Southern Nigeria to speak now with one voice in support of South East’s aspiration to produce Nigeria’s president in 2023; Likewise, the two major political parties, the PDP and APC should zone the presidential ticket to the SE, states a group of professionals from the South East, SE geo-political zone living in Europe and the Americas.
The group under the aegis of South East People of Nigeria in Diaspora (SEPNID), rising from a meeting held in Newcastle, United Kingdom on Tuesday, in a Communique signed by its Chairman and Secretary, Hon Enyinnaya Emma Nwaka and Oluebube Umeokoro respectively, appealed to the political elites in the South West, SW and South South, SS to add their voices in the agitation of the SE to produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023 in the interest of justice, equity and fairplay.

2023: ‘Igbo Presidency, now or never’
2023: CSOs Threaten APC, PDP, Others Over Zoning
President of Igbo extraction will stop ethnic agitations — Kanayo O. Kanayo

The communique stated that the Presidency having moved from the SW to the North West, NW and back to SS, before moving up NW again, justice demands that the SE be given the option of producing the Presidency in 2023.
Hon Nwaka, who elaborated further on the intents of the communique maintained that agitations to address issues of justice and equity are not novel in Nigeria’s political development, recalling that in 1999 the three major political parties, namely the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; The then All Peoples Party, APP and Alliance for Democracy, all jointly zoned the presidency to the SW to produce Chief Olusegun Obasanjo flying PDP’s flag and Chief Olu Falae flying APP/AD joint ticket, and both the SS and SE jointly supported the project.

“We, members of SEPNID are therefore drawing from this page in Nigeria chequered history and calling on Southern Nigeria to speak with one voice on behalf of the SE; Likewise, we are equally calling on the PDP and APC to zone their presidential ticket to the SE”, Nwaka stated.

Nwaka reiterated that joining of forces by Southern Nigeria is desirable to create a balance between North and South, as none of the six geo-political zones can on its own produce the President of Nigeria.
The communique further stated that having examined the options available in the event that the SW, and SS fails to support by the SE; And the two major political parties fails to zone the Presidency to the SE, SEPNID urges SE political elites from both parties to follow the leading of the Senate Chief Whip Senator Orji Uzor Kalu who proposes that the SE supports the aspirations of the North East, NE, another geo-political zone that has also been denied an opportunity to produce the president.
Hon Nwaka further added: “The SE since 1979 had supported the emergence of presidents from other zones of Nigeria, equity demands now that power is returning to the South, that the rest of Southern Nigeria rally round the SE to produce the next President.



“SE has always stood on the side of equity. This explains why we massively voted MKO Abiola of blessed memory, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, late Musa Yar’adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Abubakar Atiku since 1993. So now that it is our turn to produce a President, equity demands that our Southern brothers equally support us to produce the President, as we cannot do it alone.

“Unfortunately, to our amazement, we are witnessing a massive turnout of presidential aspirants from our SW and SS brothers. We have taken cognitive notice of appeals from Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Elder statesman, urging that justice be done for the SE, for us in the diaspora, we see the actions of SW and SS political elites as a stab in the back, an unfortunate setback indeed for Nigeria as a whole, but that is the reality the SE faces today: Betrayal from its SW and SS brothers. How do we deal with it? That question formed the focus of our meeting and going forward, how does the SE proceed to mitigate the incalculable cost of remaining under the shadows for another four years, or even eight as the possibility of a second term is not ruled out for whoever emerges President.



“To that end, we were pleased to note that the able Igbo son, distinguished Senator Orji Uzor Kalu who has been neck deep in Nigeria’s politics since 1999, like an experienced sailor is already charting a course for the SE, we discussed and concluded as captured in our Communique as follows:
“We solidly support the position of the Chief Whip of the Senate, Sen Orji Uzor Kalu that SE align with the NE to produce the President in the event that the two major political parties fail to zone their presidential ticket to the SE.

“Our premise is that politics, like life is dynamic, and the Igbo nation under the present circumstances cannot be frustrated to the point of becoming irrelevant in Nigeria’s politics. Such idea is inconceivable, unthinkable. Eight years in the life of a nation is so short, but in those eight years, we must remain relevant”, he submitted.



Equally elaborating on the meeting and its conclusions, SEPNID’ s Secretary, Oluebube Umeokoro added that group would draw the attention of the APC and PDP to eminently qualified SE aspirants in their parties from which they should pick a candidate to fly their flags.

“The APC has people like former governors – Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzor Kalu, Ogbonnaya Onu, and Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State. It also has former House of Representative member, Hon Emeka Nwajiuba and former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani; While PDP on the other hand has former governor, Peter Obi; Former Senate President, Senator Pius Anyim, and the boardroom guru, Sam Ohuabunwa and others.He urged the political parties to tap from the ingenuity of the people of the SE as represented by these galaxy of stars as Nigeria will be the ultimate beneficiary of these talents.”



The SEPNID meeting had in attendance members from UK, USA and other European countries.

Even an Igbo man as the presidential election candidate in any party in Nigeria will get less than 5% vote in all of the eastern Nigeria.

Bros the mind of an average Igbo man is somewhere.
