About time we hear from respected Igbo Elders of this sort.
Is it true that those who have been allowed to be President are the same people who have messed up Nigeria and brought it to where it is today?

Sure. However, that is not the focus of this post.

"To get such a position, you have to plan, you have to strategize, you have to organize, you have to move, you have to mobilize and you don’t do it making noise, you do it quietly so that before people know what is happening, you have gone far. So, the best thing is come out with a surprise and that is the best strategy".

Wise man.

Soludo gave excellent reasons in his November 14, 2022 open letter.

Snippets from the letter:

During the 2019 presidential election, the five South East States were united for PDP but contributed merely 1.6 million votes to PDP which was about the votes that Kano state gave to Buhari.

The emotions might run to heavens but politics-power is about cold calculations, organization and building alliances for power. In a democracy, it is a game of numbers. So far, I don’t see any of these--- and 2023 might again be a wasted opportunity for Ndigbo!

Our founding fathers understood that in politics, you don’t get what you deserve but what you bargain/negotiate, and you negotiate with your organization and VOTES. Not social media militancy or bullying (where over 90% of actual voters are not on social media)!

Our fathers built alliances with other major political parties in other regions (not with socio-cultural groups that don’t command any votes), and Ndigbo were in the reckoning in the first and second republics.

Under Tinubu, the South West strategically organized under a different political party, the ACN and went into a formidable alliance that kicked out a sitting president (in Africa?), and that alliance is not broken yet.

Igbos, in their frenzied Nzogbu nzogbu politics, have sadly found themselves in a political cul de sac. Tragic indeed! When will my people smell the morning coffee?

IIGB0S are too emotional to be able to do well in politics. Because politics need some cold and logical calculations devoid of emotions.

Bitterness, hatred, envy and insults will never win you the presidency.

Power is not served a la carte. One must be properly positioned to take it.

We will never allow an IPOB goat to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Never.

Is it true that Nigerians don't recognise IPOB goats as Nigerians?

Nigerian presidency is not for IPOB monkeys.

People that don't want Igbos to be President are just afraid... Because a lot of things will be corrected in this country.

Either regional government or divide the country... So let's allow the status quo to remain... One Nigeria too sweet.... How would I as a politician be able to deceive the populace without one Nigeria 😬
