This guy na mumu, he didn’t even talk more about south east. Elrufai presidential ambition in 2031 is dead on arrival. He’s a clueless Islamic fanatic. No one take him serious at all

Interesting, always say this when a southerner (like Jonathan) is ruling and keep number when a northerner is ruling. It’s all part of the born to rule mentality from a region whose political leaders are the one sending the country to Stone Age.

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
Nagode my friend ..

You just penned the reality of 27”
Reason I keep telling Igbos to align .. and let Tinubu be history fast!

Nigerians are tired already

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
You think South South is dense like you? Let the East test their political prowess by aligning with the North and let see where it'll take them too. For your info, south-south can't be cajoled to please your interest. As it stands, North-Central, South-South and Southwest will stand with Tinubu whether you like it not. You also think the people of Southern Kaduna and Plateau will be daft to vote a Fulani person back into power and jettison their security? Oga, stop dreaming, Nigeria is better off with Tinubu for now though their are teething problems and challenges the country is passing through.

I thought they said north alone have the capacity to vote out Tinubu.
Whatever impact El Rufai has,it ends in kaduna.

El Rufai must be living in great pains right now

Can someone please kindly give him some Agbado or cassava to eat?
Re: We Need A Rescue Operation – El-Rufai To North, South-South Stakeholders by proeast(m): 5:38pm On Feb 23, 2025
This one is still a kid and knows nothing about politics. Go and ask what happened to Abiola when he made similar stupid statements. Igbos encouraged the North to humble him. The can never humiliate any part of South, without the active support of a part of South. Buhari made such statements because he already teamed up with yorubas. If Igbos decide to play the chameleonic and zero integrity/principle that yorubas exhibit in Nigerian politics, they would always mean up with North to humiliate you guys.

To defeat Tinubu is simple, an alliance between North and Igbos will sack him from aso rock. But Igbos are not willing to team up with ethno religious bigots like El Rufai and Kwankwaso unlike Yorubas that would jump at the offer without minding the effects on Nigeria. SE and SS always votes in one direction and both regions have far more political value than 5 SW states. Lagos election is not determined by yoruba voting direction. Middle belt Christians also vote in the same direction with SE and SS and that's why Abuja is always won by those supported by these regions.

Having zero principle & being wicked to accept alliance with evil people like Buhari against those with conscience like Jonathan doesn't mean you're relevant, it only shows how wicked you are too as a group.

Dongquai:
nobody courts south east politically because they are irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Buhari proved two times that anybody can win presidency without a single vote from south east and tinubu proved it again.

Yet he pushed for overthrow of Jonathan
Don't he knows that IPOB extend to South South.
The Christians he hates in the north will never stand with him.
I'm not a fan of ronu but I'll rather endure them than Hellrufai alliance.
Re: We Need A Rescue Operation – El-Rufai To North, South-South Stakeholders by obaidan: 5:44pm On Feb 23, 2025
Igbo presidency is long overdue, but the south easterners need to understand that alliances have to be made. The nation is so broken and tribal sentiment is so rife that u need to make serious effort to strategically build bridges across tribal divides to get what you deserve. Sadly it always looks very difficult for SE to form alliance with the north. SW or SS or north is not your problem, the inability to get a strategic alliance is the issue. For example Obi's choice of running mate in 2023 brought no political value to that ticket. I don't think more than 150k people voted for that ticket because of Datti. Useful alliances in future will help. Imagine after a terrible Buhari(a northerner) performance for 8 years, Atiku(another northerner) still had almost 7million votes-most of those votes from the north, that is the person the SE should be working with. Maybe it's time to form an alliance with Atiku again in 2027.
Re: We Need A Rescue Operation – El-Rufai To North, South-South Stakeholders by proeast(m): 5:45pm On Feb 23, 2025
You're deceiving yourself. Igbos have a big influence because they're majority in both SE and SS. Both regions vote in same direction because of religious, ethnic, socio-cultural affinity.

Just pray that an alliance between Igbos and North is not reached because that would be the end of Tinubu in aso rock. He is the most unpopular president in the history of Nigeria & not even rigging will save him.

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
There is a very sad reality you have to come to terms with my bloda.. Igbo political realities in Nigeria are totally different when compared with those of the other 2 major ethnic groups. The Igbos have not been able to produce a president since 1966. This is not because they're terrible at politiking as is being sold by the Lagos dubious press, it has a lot to do with the ethnic gang up arising from the events of 1966 to 1970. People like Babangida understands this and seem to be getting tired of such, hence his bombshell of a book. People like Buhari and Tinubu want this to go on and on and on..

If it was an igbo man that helped Buhari to be president in 2015, Buhari would have found enough reasons to renage and will never have handed over to him like he did to Tinubu in 2023. You have to understand your problems and predicaments in particular situations in order to be in a position to solve them. Igbos supported PDP wholeheartedly, yet when it came to producing the Vice president, Obasanjo went for an ijaw man. You think that was a coincidence? You don't know that if igbos protested that move then, it would have totally torn the Ss away from the SE?

What did the igbos get from supporting all the fulani and Yoruba presidents post 1970? Nothing! Why? Because igbophobia is a religion that is fervently being practiced at Abuja post 1970. It will take more than just an ordinary political alignment over a presidential election to change this. It will involve a chain of events to force the hands of the northerners especially. (Since the SW are just northern political lapdogs).
Something close to Abiolas scenario post Jun 12- 1992 to Abachas death in 2008.

SE should not throw away an alliance with Atiku camp. He is the most useful northern politician from the whole of the North, now that buhari is out of the way. I know elrufai is an irritating midget, but don't throw away the baby with the bathwater.

Babangida book just published has shifted possiblity of Igbo president another 2 decades backwards at least. He said it wasn't Igbo coup but nullify that assertion by his words on the same paragraph and I quote:

“I may be wrong here since this view is speculative. I admit here that my views may be the views of a naive officer who viewed things from a distance”

The old wound has been reopened and the memory of how Igbos kpai some prominent norther leaders during the coup will definitely made it impossible for them to ally with SouthEast any time soon. The only choice is Tinubu 2nd term and another northerner 2031.[/b]

You still live in the past.. wake up and take power and not typing Wetin no dey

Okadigbo aligned with buhari . Same Igbos rejected them

Ezeumeoke .. una reject

And went with Obasanjo to PDP.

While App and Anpp was tell same story am typing now

I said in a post

Igbos should know their politcal enemies and religious enemies

Northern Nigeria has never been enemies of Igbos politically ..


Shagari chose Ekwueme

IBB pick ukiwe

Ahmadu Bello choose Zik

It’s has always been like that

Stop yesterday’s story to limit yourselves

Join the alignment and get to power ..

Tinubu might conclude 2 terms and on a third .. while una keep repeating same story like from beer parlor

You think Atiku will betray the SE? Well that is possible, but then the SE needs an alliance with a major voting bloc, amd I don't see how else to get that outside of Atiku, who is actually the most valuable politician from the north in terms of votes(especially with buhari out of the picture).
