See bah, Na you Sabi wetin you dey talk about Anambra hating Ebonyi.

Even if it's true, it's a family issue. It's not your concern and the truth is all you presumably think you intelligently and knowledgeably listed as the reasons Umahi can't be supported are lies and false assumptions.

Rest Oga
LMAO. If?

Even Umahi himself complained about the discrimination.

His problem. I am from Ebonyi. And, an Anambrian is married to us who changed her surname to ours. Haven't seen any hatred from the family nor from her and it's been 7 years and on the count, so it's his problem, not mine.

I do business in Anambra too and and I haven't felt this hatred you all talk about online. Na Umahi sabi

This was also how Una Project a notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture as a blueprint builder. He has successfully turned the entire country into a huge IDP camp.

Umahi said your people (Ibo delegates) sold their votes.

Umahi was only able to garner 38 votes in the APC Presidential primary which saw Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Lagos governor, declared winner, after securing 1,271 votes.

They wouldn't want to support him because:.

3. Interests.. the foot soldiers of Obi like Kenneth Okonkwo, Joe Igbokwe et al. are after appointments in Abuja thinking he would win, most of them got their permutations wrong and now they are nowhere near power.

Go and check Anambra’s balance sheet and see how much dividends they get from the factory at the end of every financial year.

Meanwhile, Umahi is our second choice after Peter Obi because he has maintained some level of decorum and maturity in rolling with the APC unlike the letter writing fool in Anambra who thinks he is wiser than every Igbo man alive.
the same investment that worth next to nothing as declared by the sitting Governor?

How much has the airport generated ?
Most of these airports governors are building are white elephant projects. The demand isn't there to justify them.

I wonder if they have any good advisors.

They wouldn't want to support him because:

1. He is from Ebonyi and Anambra Igbos especially don't regard the people from Ebonyi as true Igbos.

2. He is a member of amala and ewedu party according to mu.mu Obi followers. If he likes, let him turn South East to Dubai, they'll still treat him with disdain.

3. Interests.. the foot soldiers of Obi like Kenneth Okonkwo, Joe Igbokwe et al. are after appointments in Abuja thinking he would win, most of them got their permutations wrong and now they are nowhere near power.
So awarding contracts is now a sign of leadership..any one can actually do this really.

The indicators should be what systems na institutions did Umahi put in place to boost education, food securtiy, health care delivery and entreprenuership...these are markers but because politicans know how small minded the masses are they just focus on the visinle projects like flynover and airports just like Wike's formula..

You see all those boys you see hawking phone chargers and accessories or selling lacasera and gala...they are all from Ebonyi state...was there ever a plan by this man to get them out of the streets?

I am also surprised why some people will pick Obi over Umahi.

Obi was a total failure in Anambra.

If you want to be more shocked. Do an anonymous poll between Umahi and Ikpeazu. You will be more shocked with the result.

Talking from experience.

You mean the talkative Soludo that thinks himself higher above every one in Igbo land while he builds white elephant and substandard structures in Anambra?

He's nothing less of the tribalistic Wole Soyinka who has being in hiding all the while the failure Tinubu has been rolling out his anti-people policies but will crawl out of his hypocritical hole once he sees an anti-Igbo news or event to show his foolery and hypocritical self.
I can’t wait to see Ndi Anambra reply Soludo’s letter in the next Anambra guber election.

Guy, watch this video and be informed. That investment didn't do much for Anambra State.

Obiano was a terrible governor; he should have sold the shares when they were still high.
Thank you for acknowledging that it was Obiano’s fault.

Because Obi was not being malicious when he made investments he thought would favor Anambra. What if those shares had performed well? Who would have enjoyed it? Obi or Anambra govt?

The state investment in his burukutu company is next to nothing now.

Why don't you give him APC presidential ticket, since you all love him so much.
You guys are looking for whom to control and someone that will play according to your games.

APC and PDP are not foolish like LP party. They practice true democracy within their ranks and don't dash tickets or worship a consensus candidate.

The truth is that he will play according to your games that's why you all love him so much. Same with Imo state governor.
Nigeria needs someone who is ready to work and not anyone who is vindictive and too political to do the right things.

Igbos shou rally around him so you can call him ipob candidate?
He got 38 votes from South East how many delegates did you expect him to get?

You are also making shit up. The reason why Peter Obi is called IPOb candidate is because of his frolicking around IPOB. Peter Obi said they are not terrorists and that he lives, wines and dines with them.

He's not a coward that will run to a party that he won't contest primary. When the time is right, he will contest, it's left to his kinsmen to support him.
Re: Why Can't Igbos Support This Man For Presidency? by WeddingParol: 3:09pm On Apr 07, 2024
Because the guy is from Ebonyi as they are always stigmatised by other igbos particularly the Anambra and Imo people.

Enugu people remains the best igbos ever.

Argue with your phone if you like.
