Malam Umaru Altine (1952 - 1958), a Northern Fulani man was the first elected Mayor of Enugu, in the East, and was even re-elected for a second term.

Malam Umaru Altine was the Vice Chairman of the NCNC Youth Association at Enugu. He identified with the NCNC as a political party. During elections NCNC decided to nominate him at Coal Camp where he lived.
He contested twice for the post of Mayor of Enugu against Igbo opponents and won twice.

The second election was even more significant in the sense that NCNC had asked him to step down for somebody else and he refused. Instead, he resigned from NCNC, ran as an Independent candidate and beat the NCNC candidate.

Not a big deal
Rita Orji and co are getting elected in SW back to back

IGBOPROMISE1:
If you wanna tell the story, tell it as it is and don’t embellish it with half-truths and outright lies!

Rita Orjis’ election owed largely to the Igbo and non emilokan-Yoruba voting demographic of the electorate in the part of Lagos she was seeking to represent! The Tinubu minions and acolytes that have held Lagos in a chokehold from 1999 to date WERE NOT happy with her election and this accounted for the thuggery and rigging they deployed to get rid of her and install a Yoruba man in her place!

Dalohad:
This is correct. 💯

Why the igbos wey contest last year no enter?

The population that voted in Rita Orji twice, are they all dead? Why didnt the same people vote other Igbos into that seat last year

Point is, Its about PDP and APC. There are APC Igbos serving in Lagos. I guess its the igbo population that forced them in too


The Igbo chairman at the Ore/Odigbo LCDA (A woman,actually) in Ondo state under APC in 2023... I guess its the Igbos that voted her in too

This was before the bridge collapsed and the born to rule mentality set things apart.

SmartyPants:
Rather, this was in the time when Zik and the NCNC were collaborating with the North to marginalise the south west (including the midwest at this time), with the hope that Zik would then be made the next Prime Minister. This was the same political romance that led Zik to ignore the advice of Aolowo to include a secession clause in the then Constitution.

The evil u wish others is already consuming u but u dont know.

Softmirror:
So why did Igbos kill Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa and other tribes apart from Igbos during the first coup?!!!

Wickedfacts:
Igalas own Enugu and Anambra.
Hope you know Obiano is Igala?

Typical Yoruba human…

They can twist and change narrative faster than chameleons

Mention Rita .. corner am. He twist am sharp

Corner am again .. he runs

Same humans … yesterday today and tomorrow

Irony1:
Sometimes to have you thoroughly beaten dey hungry me. Because in my life I have never people like you that love to gaslight and twist narratives.
You will begin to doubt yourself when people like you start to twist and spin narratives.
