The former minister of state for education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba has said that the presidential candidates from northern Nigeria are in the race to make a statement.



Nwajiuba stated this in an interview with ThisDay, adding that the northern aspirants would withdraw from the race and support the bid for a South-East presidential candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if aspirants from the South-West quit the race.


Nwajiuba who recently resigned from Buhari's cabinet stated that the southeast geopolitical zone should produce the next President on the grounds of national justice and fairness.


The former Minister accused politicians in the South-West of committing the same offence they had accused their northern counterparts of committing, asking, "Why should the South-West say the North should cede power to the South and that they must be the beneficiary?"


He said, "There are three people from the North who purchased the APC presidential forms. The president of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; the governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello; and the governor of Jigawa state, Abubakar Mohammed Badaru.


“They all have the right credentials to be Nigeria’s president. They are men of foresight. They are from the North-East, North-Central and North-West.


“They are possibly in the contest to make a statement but if we are talking about national justice and fairness, we should only be thinking of the South-East. This is because it is the only zone in the South that has not produced a president since 1999.


“However, for them to be seeing about eight people from the South-West suddenly laying claims to the same argument they had against the North, makes it look very silly.


“This is because you cannot be accusing the North of something you are also perpetrating. Olusegun Obasanjo had been president for eight years; (Yemi) Osinbajo has been vice president since 2015.


“Why should the South-West say the North should cede power to the South and that they must be the beneficiary? How does that make any sense of any type? Yet, they are asking the young patriots in the North to cede power to them.


“I am sure if the South-West pulls out of the presidential race, aspirants from the North would also rest their ambitions and allow the South-East to produce (President Muhammadu) Buhari’s successor in 2023.”

If the north retains the presidency, Miners should be blamed because we warned them...

Meanwhile...

If Fulanis could be desperate for power without any supporters from the south, what do you think they would do when they now have backing of some southerners ?


The Nothern region of Nigeria is bold enough to retain the presidency because they are capitalizing on the stand of majority of Igbos which is "Zone Presidency to the east or it remains in the north".

Majority APC of Nothern extraction have listened to the voice of Igbo people concerning the presidency and there are a lot of indications that even despite having Nat chairman, they can still retain the presidency because they believe that a major ethnic group in Nigeria is backing their stand...

Trust Me nothing, I mean absolutely nothing will happen if they have the presidency, and National Chairman, infact they might even wish to have the Senate presidency at the same time and get away with it because the south is totally irredeemably cracked .. The only thing that could have checkmated their excesses is the unity of the south unfortunately the unity of the south is not happening anytime soon, hence they had to take advantage of it and rule Nigeria the way they want...

You can't beat them, you can only shout online and rest...

Who could have imagined that Top 3 citizens in Nigeria would come from the same region in the history of Nigeria ?( President, Senate President and the CJN) ..

And to some clowns that are chanting " Igbo votes are Inconsequential" because of least voters registration of SE, it's only a political illiterate that doesn't know the difference between Igbo votes and SE votes.. You are not wiser than your politicians that place or try to identify with the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria while campaigning.. There Is a reason for that.

People of SW should have known better that North was never their ally. They have used you and ready to dump you a pick a new bride.. SW should Stop issuing threats to north telling them they can't have Nat chairman and presidency at the same time , the more you issue threats the more they go back to sleep

This is because you cannot be accusing the North of something you are also perpetrating. Olusegun Obasanjo had been president for eight years; (Yemi) Osinbajo has been vice president since 2015.

In summary.

.

Politics na game

South west politicians insistence that they must contest the presidency will definitely hand power over to the North and it will be disastrous for Yoruba from 2023 onwards. If they had listened to Pa Adebayo.

Cleverness isn't wisdom...
Sophisticated politics isn't politics at all

Olusegun Obasanjo had been president for eight years; (Yemi) Osinbajo has been vice president since 2015.

Really?

I thought PYO was a mere commissioner?

South East Politicians are not tactical, why are they attacking their fellow party men like this in the open?

Nwajiuba wey nobody Sabi for politics too dey open mouth they attack Tinubu, what a joke.

This is the way people from the South East were attacking Buhari and the APC in 2013/2014, calling it Islamic party, Amala and Ewedu Party, they call the likes of Tinubu a betrayer, Fulani slaves etc they didn't believe the APC will win.

Tinubu worked for Buhari in 2014/2015, worked for Buhari in 2018/2019, now he is going for the ticket for himself, and people are busy attacking him for no sane reason. Without Tinubu ACN, the APC would have never won PDP in 2015, ACN and CPC were the two major parties and the backbone of APC.


Everybody knows that, the likes of Tinubu will go for the ticket after the tenure of Buhari. Why the likes of Nwajiuba are lamenting is what is so surprising.

Well, by this time next week, most of una go dey alright.


On Bola Ahmed Tinubu Mandate I Stand Gidigba

Yoruba inability to work with igbos for southern interest is their greatest undoing in national politics

Abeg make Una allow Sophisticators campaign in peace ..

See the scope wey Dey carry southern unity enter .. using Aketi via tribe

Igbos for don nearly fall for am..

Sometimes silence is an act of approval.. Is better the way they are speaking up now so that they will know where they stand..

Make we just scrap this office of President, let every region go and produce its ruler.
Wasting so much energy on politics of regions instead of on competence.

Exactly what I was thinking. These people will never ever learn how to play politics decorously and pragmatically.

Everything related to politics has to be about discord, enmity and fight with them. Good luck to him. A silly upstart for that matter.

This is the same thing that Orji Kalu and Dave Umahi said.

Truth is that the only region that should produce the President in 2023 is the South East, for fairness, for equity.

But,,,, there is a but.

I think that aspiration should be actualized on a PDP ticket.
Unfortunately it is the same PDP that is the major cause of this confusion.
They are hoping the APC goes South so that they go North.
For the PDP, it is "grab power first by every means necessary and forget any regional equity"

The South East have always given the PDP 90 percent of their votes and perhaps a miserly 5 percent to the APC.

The PDP owes the SE that Presidential ticket and they owe it Now.

The East really have no moral ground to demand a Presidential ticket from the APC.

The APC could only give it to them on a sympathetic ground.

So what will happen after Tinubu win, do you think he will want to work with people attacking him? This is the way people from the South East refuse to give the APC a chance in 2013/2014/2015, calling it Amala and Ewedu Party, Islamic Party etc and Buhari sideline the South East. You people are making this mistake again.

You mean there are no Igbos in APC ?


Meanwhile Talking about Tinubu emerging victorious, lol..

Unrealistic Fantasy

Some of you think that Nig Begins and ends in SW .We have six Geo political zones in Nigeria and SW is just one out of them..Nigeria is bigger and more complex than you can ever imagine..
This is about electing a president of Nigeria, not yoruba oba tussle leadership.

Better person!

Emeka Nwajiuba is the next APC Presidential candidate for 2023. Peter Obi takes the PDP slot. Two Igbos in the ballot! North and south coming together to enthrone equity!

Then the VP comes from the NE.

God bless Nigeria.

No amount of blackmail will work on us.

How can you expect us to cook food, when it's time to eat, you who tried quenching our fire during the processess now asking us not eat.
Claiming you have more right to the food than us...

You sow in PDP, you want to reap in APC! What a gut
Is that not madness from your ends and a great Insult on our personalities.

Ipobism is worrying this People.

Which food you cook? How many votes did you give to Buhari's Presidency as compared to North East and North Central. You keep hyping your meagre votes that never made anyone President until 2015. You guys have been compensated fairly by Buhari with Vice President, Speaker, Chief of Air Staff and several key ministerial positions.

But greed won't allow you see front. You think the north is foolish. Like they'll fold their hands and allow you take power despite 8 years in power as President under Obasanjo? Say na only you Aso Rock dey sweet to go. You guys should wake up from your slumber.

Ibos should keep palmwine politics in their village square. Political arena isn't where some red cap cowards sit around a long bench to drink palm wine. Politics is dominated by the sophisticated ones.
ACN had the largest stake in the formation of APC to the extent that ACN's logo is APC's logo. That speaks much volume. Tinubu singlehandedly hired Obama's caimpaign strategist to rebrand Buhari who was seen as an ethnic religious fanatic. Tinubu enabled Buhari feature at the Chattam house after he was rebranded as a repentant democrat. While at it, Buhari literally relocated to Lagos until victory was achieved. Bourdillon became a guest house for Northerners from all works of life. SW has legitimacy over APC ticket and nothing can stop them. SW are not contending PDP's ticket with Ibos. It is only a very greedy set of people that would demand ticket of a party they have less than 5%. Go back home, go to PDP, that's where you've labored over 20years.

-Okoro bufo

The food is bringing 5 sitting governors, numerous senators and representatives into the Party.

That aside, Are you not man enough! You've thrown your hat into the race but still scared?

When were you stopped from wooing delegates on your side?

Why should Southwest West drop their ambition for yours?

What manner of Insult is that

We are talking of APC primary, you are busy diverting, where in my post did I say the South West is bigger than other regions? Well, we go know what's up by this time next week.

"Where are the cows"?
"Is Evans a herdsman"?

The above is a good example of statement capable of promoting infighting & violence in a multi ethnic society like Nigeria not a politician making a sound & logical argument against the unfair distribution of political power in a multicultural society.

Nwajiuba stated this in an interview with ThisDay, adding that the northern aspirants would withdraw from the race and support the bid for a South-East presidential candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if aspirants from the South-West quit the race.

So this one means northern aspirants should withdraw (and he can't address his Atiku personally about that?)
He also said South-west aspirants should quit the race?
This one don smoke that the mpki rubbish, it is obvious.

It's power an appeasement or gift or something?!
What a clown!
