All these Bayo Onanuga online thugs and their endless sterile rants. I don't have your time. I supported Obi, but I have not really voted in any Nigerian elections since I'm out of the country most times the elections are being held.

Your problem is not Peter Obi though. Your problem is his ethnic group. Let's face that fact. You tremble at their guts, their potentials and their confidence. It worries you every night what they could do with power if they're already so successful without power. Right?

I have a suggestion; if you can't stand them and will never live to be governed by any of them, then help them leave the evil union. Good thing is that they also want to leave. They're eager to move. Help them to do so. That way, you will be at freedom to always choose between Tinubu, Ladoja or Abiodun. Good idea?

It is that simple really
No body will help anybody to leave,if your elite aren't ready to.you the masses can quitely move your son and sundry to where you desire to stay.

yes it was between south south and south east, but wike wanted it for himself, pdp have produced a president from south south in the person of Jonathan, why then is a wike a south south man aggressively looking to run again. It should be for southeast. But he wanted it for himself.
No one goes out for power effeminately. You don't pretend for what you want. Wike was all out for it. Don't blame him.

Ugwuanyi was the chairman of the Pdp zoning committee. Why didn't he insist on it going to the SE?

Igbo delegates from the SE were at the convention ground where Anyim an Igbo man from the SE was on the ballot, they all voted for Atiku and Tambuwal. Why didn't they vote Anyim?

The more SE politicians sow the fruit of deceit, the more they will keep eating the fruit of disappointment.
The OP is about Wike's role in the zoning.
How is any of what you wrote a rebuttal of his version of what happened last year huh

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Tallesty1:
See how you reason and still have the audacity to accuse someone of being intellectually dishonest. How can you say it’s the turn of the South and then narrow it down to the South-South or South-East? Is the South-West part of the North?

If you exclude the South-West because it already had Obasanjo, why not exclude the South-South too since it had Jonathan? Atiku was right; if you want to zone, zone it properly; otherwise, I will contest. The South-East deserves its chance.
Atiku had no right to intervene in what was zone to South. He is from North. South South still has a term remaining. Jonathan did a term only. It is quite shameful that the same Atiku who came to say it must zoned to the South East came to pick the slot and never even saw anyone from South East to be his vice.

Eze is being intellectually dishonest. It was the turn of the South. Atiku shouldn't dictate for the South. Atiku did that because Wike was against his candidacy. Wike insisted that it was the turn of the South. And truth be told it was between South South and South East. An external person shouldn't be the one to say it must be from this zone. South never dictated where northern candidacy came from. Yaradua was from North West the same with Buhari. South didn't say it must be north east or central. Where was Atiku when Buhari took APC ticket after Yaradua?
As it is today South South still has a term to complete.
How can u say its between South South and South Eastv, when Jonathan from South South just finished ruling ... its was automatically for the South East that time and not South South, but wike due to his Narcissism and selfish nature , wanted it to go back to South South, he is a hypocrite, doing what he accused Atiku of doing

How is it possible for Atiku to restrict the presidential zoning to the SE and not the south in general?

Is it bad if someone wants to contest democratically for the position of the president?

Atiku actually wanted to sideline Wike but in the end divided his house and lose the election.

I don't think PDP will ever get such opportunity they had with a full house with the G5, Kwankwaso and Obi ever!
President Jonathan was from the South South, therefore Atiku was fair enough to suggest that the South East should provide the next president after Buhari.
But Wike refused because of his ambitions

How can you be talking about zoning and micro-zone?

If you want to zone, zone to the south and let everyone fight for it and not zone to the southeast.

It's not done that way.

Atiku know what he is doing and Wike is also smart

It's politics anyway.

You see how you guys hide from the glaring truth staring you in the face by trying to derail a very honest conversation?.
We are not buying this your scheme, Atiku isn't the main conversation here, WIKE and his constant penchance for backstabbing and his unbridled ROGUE ambition is!!!.

Does Atiku have the sole right to zone it without other's consent? Even Obi wasn't carried along or else he won't have left PDP.

Jonathan was there because Yar'adua died! He never stood a change at all! If Wike refused because of ambition what about Obi?

What's the point for standing on their own?
Are you for real?
You are shamelessly justifying slavery with your full isiagu regalia.

If your politicians were too weak and useless to stand on their own and demand for what they feel is theirs, why are you now making animal tears and shedding senseless tears?
Dude, you're rambling!

Isn't it you lot that accuse Ndigbo of voting overwhelmingly for Peter Obi because of 'tribalism', yet you're here now bristling with anger because Igbo delegates read the mood of the room and supported Atiku instead of their own Anyim! Dude no matter how you try to gaslight, the Igbo delegates made the right call in supporting Atiku....it's called being realistic and voting tactically! It was same position Igbo voters took in the past when they left someone they love, Ikemba, and voted for Obasanjo...it has nothing to do with 'slavery' as you glibly and stupidly posit!

You're full of deceit if you want to sit on your scrawny ass and type on your device that 'any group/ethnicity, even one of the three major ones, can 'stand on their own' and succeed in Nigerian partisan-politics'! Why didn't your emilokan godfather stand on his own!? All this is academic sha because i personally don't have time for or faith in Nigerian politics, governance and leadership recruitment....it's defined by all sorts of extraneous ethnic, religious and selfish considerations!

Since you're so apparently against slavery, why don't you queue behind those who believe they're in a slave camp, 'one Nigeria', and are making efforts to secede!? smiley
