We are not rigid... We would be asking what are the terms of this alliance

We don't really care about power just want a working system

What is the goal to get North back to power? ... Is that fair? What about we Igbos what are they offering us for the alignment

We are not taking irrelevant positions like party chairman and speaker those are useless positions


Presidency
Senate President
Chief judge
Chief of army staff
NSA
DSS DG
IG of police

What's the stance on restructuring and what type of restructuring

must never be gentle agreement everything must be written and signed simple
You don't care about power indeed! Obi lost elections till today una still dey cry! Una dey cry everyday say dem no allow una rule.
You people want Nigeria to work yet na una dey produce and import fake and adulterated products
into this country. Nonsense!

Why didn't Tinubu contest in 2015 or support another southerner?

Lmao Obi might not contest in 2027 ooh don't bank on that... Obi is no fool
Was Pandora Bitter Obi a fool along with his tribal headless mob in 2023, when they helped ebilokan to continue APC shege for worsening inflation, unemployment, poverty, and even insecurity and corruption?

The tribal mob that gave him almost 100% in the five south yeast states.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Dindinrin, oponu ayerada. Even Obafemi Awolowo won the whole of midwest in 1979 and 1983 except River state and at least won 3 house of representatives in the same river state which is today south south. If you are not a coward and unfortunate being would you not advocate for your ebo tribe to become president instead to team up with born to rule mallam? Or its forbidden for an ebo person to rule Nigeria? Even despite our differences I still know many igbo people that will rather stand with Yoruba than a mallam.

ScamHunter:
This sounds really funny. But we Igbo have moved on from Nigeria. Our vision is an ethnic Igbo homeland devoid of all these retrogression seen in Nigeria. Meanwhile, El Rufai shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Igbo make up more than 50% of the so-called South South and as far as we are concerned, what's happening between El Rufai 's north and Tinubu is a storm in a teacup. The more they fight, the better things could be for both the Igbo and other nations in the country. Talk about the problem of Nigeria at each other's throat. The enemy of my enemy isn't my friend but the fallout of their fight wouldn't affect me too badly.

South south has always and will always align with the North

Never in history has south south aligned with the west

South south knows Yoruba people more than the entire Nigeria and they have avoided them like plague

Mallam no need for long turenchi..


Is Igbos that must be pleaded to align to the movement..

Igbos are political rigid and stubborn.. they must be appeal to..

Igbos need to understand the movement and the implications of Tinubu ambition of second term on them too.

Is all politics ..

North .. south … East..

Let Yoruba carry their cross

Nigeria must be free
Obong Owo. Speak for yourself and your household.

The South-South doesn't owe anybody any alliance.

We need full autonomous unrestricted control to our resources.

Every region can have same too.

Simple!

Wish all of you meant well for thr country? But hell no. Every man for his pocket.

Mallam, your egocentrism brought you to join Tinubu to in 2023. That’s your last card to remain in politics. But right now I must tell you that Tinubu is way ahead. Even though his intention isn’t known yet but be rest assured that the man is a born strategist. He thinks 20 years ahead.

You and your acolytes can’t remove him. He is done the home work. In fact by the time he’s done, even yo ur aids will decamp to join him.

Without internal breach sneeze and backstabbers 10 El Rufai l, Atiku and Amaechi can’t remove him. But if Tinubu is fought within by his goons which will include Ekiti guys Lagos and Ogun, guys osun guys kaduna guys and more he can’t win a reelection.

Ojukwu went to Aburi prepared … got a game and lost a country..

What am trying to say is this.. Igbos should first understand their political enemies and their religious enemies. They should also understand the difference in both.

Those who really wish the best for Igbos since 60’ and has proved it ..
Even with politcal alignment.

Obi today is the most political savvy from Igbo land .. and has an Igbo acceptance.. unlike other Igbo politicians that has eaten deep into Nigeria , with their hands filled with commitment from everywhere

Obi must consider this alignments and speak on behalf of Igbos .. without the press noise.. alignment and meetings has been ongoing for any months now and has been top notch..

Is not for North to place on a table or coerce the East to align .. is for the east to table their conditions to the table and negotiation starts ..

Nothing on this page will mean to anything .. because real actors are not here on nairaland .. but most of their followers or those who believe in their ideologies are here..

My reason is for you and all those Igbos that believe a better Nigeria .. and also aim at power to understand that it is possible.

Is left for your organization to inform obi on this your awareness in aligning.

Nigeria is going down by the day and we all know that the man is villa was not prepared to govern.. but seek it for self glorification.

If this ship sail without the east.. on board.. it will be more difficult for the east to get recognition in this country.. much more difficult for the word Biafra to play .. and even more difficult for kanu to see freedom.

This is truth and reality.

Tinubu was abused when he jonze Jonathan.. went with north and today he’s the President
He sold his ego it not his honor.
A game Tinubu Learnt well from same igbos.. a game Azikiwe played against Awo .. and aligned with sultan Bello. That kept Igbos elites in power and government till 66” happened

Obi ought to be strategic for himself and for his tribe.

MadPolitician:
The problem is not with the rigidity of the igbos or their persistent political stubbornness. The problem lies with Elrufai and his types who are championing this call. They teibal champions and political chameleons that are upset because they have been cut off in the new scheme of things..

You remember that this is the same elrufai that was tagging igbos as people that came to Kaduna with "the night bus" just few years ago when Obi was campaigning in Kaduna? Has he changed? Same Elruai that was swearing that Southern Kaduna indigenes will never rule the state...!?

I understand the importance of being flexible in politics, but you see people like Kwankwaso and Eleufai, they are not upset because things are going bad in the country. They are just after themselves and their Fulani supremacists agenda.
This is the rigidity that we’re talking about ..

See advantage in everything and bellieve… if you keep having this. Mind set as an igbonman .. tell us .. how do you wish to get there ?

Politics is a lot of things .. play the best and play politics

Is not a church program or a religious gathering

Igbos. Must wake to reality and take advantage .. they odd are now in your favor

Use it wisely and stop counting yesterday’s score

Am not Igbo, a northerner bro.

Let's start after the civil war
Alex ekeueme was shagaris vice 1979-85
President Obasanjo had Igbos in his cabinet and Senate president from 1999-2007
Yar' adua had Igbos in his cabinet notably the economic team Ngozi iweala and soludo
Goodluck E Jonathan had Igbos in his cabinet, lots of them.

What now happened from 2015-date with screams of marginalization 🤷 . It's poor political alignment. People are fed up with Tinubus government and it's only a formidable southern candidate that can kick him out. Amongst the southern candidate presently, it's Peter Obi. It's just for him to align with appropriate quarters. Elrufais camp is not will to support obi from my deduction and the Elrufai can't defeat Tinubu with a northern candidate by 2027. Not even Atiku himself can defeat Tinubu

My submission Sir
Re: We Need A Rescue Operation – El-Rufai To North, South-South Stakeholders by Nobody: 5:20pm On Feb 23, 2025
He seems to be correct there. Even the funny man known as Asari Dokubo said it that the North has always been a dependable and trusted ally to the south south and not the south west, historically.

He mooted the idea for a romance between the two geopolitical zones since his friend in Aso Rock, whom he had known since in the nineties isnt living up to the billings of the zone.

This regime is the worst in Nigeria's history.

The kind of requests for financial assistance that I receive on a daily, I can't even meet up with sorting them out.

People ask for anything imaginable.

From one "paint" of rice, to noodles, to used clothings, to used furnishings to cash.. etc. And guess what, all are working class people.

The APC collective are just a demented set of people who should be in prison but lording over a country. Even their national chairman was seen in a video collecting wads of dollar bills. What do you expect from a criminally minded organisation like that?

Nigerians have never had it so bad.


The present guy has fcked the whole system up with his terrible economics and inhuman taxation/price hikes.

This guy na mumu for saying this. South south is unlike SW or SE. SS will always flow with SE for obvious reasons bothering on ethnic, cultural, religious and social affinities. Again, Igbos are also a majority in SS. If there is free and fair elections, both regions will always go in the same direction.

El Rufai is only frustrated because he has been branded as a religious and ethnic bigot, and that's why Igbos don't like him. So, he is clutching at straws.
