That is your uninformed opinion. Your opinion is different from the opinion of the majority of South South people and that of South East governors.

Having said the above, No Yoruba that witnessed June 12 , 1993 election expects 25% from South East except Peter OBI directed
them to vote for the person, even if Peter OBI directed them to vote for the Yoruba man, I can bet it, about 70% of the people will rather abstain from voting
.

I based my submission on the statements made by IBO elders against Abiola before the election and on my experience with my University course mates. Chief Tony Anenih had to plead with Chief Ezeife the Anambra SDP governor for SDP (not Abiola) to win narrowly in Anambra. The rest South East States, ABIOLA lost.

The saddest thing for ABIOLA is the loss of Rivers State. Abiola was very sad, he never expected he will lose Rivers (Bayelsa was not yet created). He later found out it was because of the IBOS domination and influence. Abiola won the South South States. TINUBU should never forget WIKE.

IBOs votes for TINUBU goes beyond projects in South East.

2027 should not even be the priority now. When Buhari came in 2015 and met a looted and depressed economy when governors were finding it hard to pay salary and no major project, no tension or campaign about 2019 election. TINUBU came and met en economy on life support where multinational corporations are leaving, fiscal and monetary policies in disarray , just 6 months of intelligent hardwork , the shout of 2027 started.
Honestly I see that the reason most Yoruba youths hate Igbos is because of decades of misinformation, lies and propaganda some of their political elites, especially led by Bola Tinubu told you guys.


Listen, you can verify whatever I am telling you right now.


In 1993 Presidential election, we had two major contestants, namely:

MKO Abiola (Yoruba) with Kingibe (Hausa) as running mate VS Alhj Tofa (Hausa-Fulani) and Sylvest Ugo (Igbo) as running mate

The INEC (then known as NEC) Chairman was Igbo man, Prof. Humphrey Nwosu.

IBB didn't want the election to hold....he was indecisive.....

The election finally held against all odds, all thanks to Humphrey Nwosu the NEC Chairman.

Southeast back then had just 4 states and out of the 4 states, MKO Abiola won Anambra state and got over 42% of total votes cast in the other Southeast states while Tofa won MKO in the other 3 southeast states with narrow escape; around 47% votes while MKO got 43%.



But still, Yorubas continue to lie that Igbos did not vote MKO Abiola.....imagine a prominent Igbo man was on the ballot as VP to Tofa yet Igbos voted massively for MKO Abiola such that he won one state in Igbo land and the other 3 states MKO Abiola lost in Igbo land, he secured more than 40% votes and you still continue with this lie that Igbos never voted for MKO Abiola....honestly na only God go reward you guys and your lies and hatred for Igbos.....its only God and nature that will do the justice.



IBB wanted the election result collation stopped without announcement, against all odds.....Prof. Humphrey Nwosu an Igbo man risked it all and still went ahead to announce MKO Abiola as the winner of that election yet you ungrateful Yorubas never give him any credit...but will rather mention unscrupulous Igbos with no official government appointments like Arthur Nzeribe and co for whatever role they chose to play for their selfish pockets....and till date, have you ever seen Igbos talk about Arthur Nzeribe or even celebrate him?



May God pay you people back for all you have been doing and done to Igbos....may nature pay you guys back in time angry angry angry

Truth be told. South East has been neglected for many years. Nigerian government has no been fair enough to South East. Their representatives are wolves. Their infrastructures are long decayed.
I am not even a fan of any politician be it obi,Atiku,or tinubu since all are selfish and only thinks of their pockets but your representative in that south east haven't been doing well you have senators,rep members, chairmen, councillors and governors who receive allocations, constituency allowances etc from the president shouldn't they be the ones to build your roads,schools and hospitals? your rep members like Abaribe and ekweremadu who have been in power more than 12 years don't do anything with the huge allocations they receive you won't lambast them yet you insult gbajabiamila and yayi Adeola who does things for their constituencies.

This is why I want Nigeria to go back to real regionalism so everyone will know who to hold for their lack of social amenities!!

He does not need it directly because he can get it indirectly like he did in the last election huh

jameshankss:
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.

The five SE states voted 100% for ebilokan to continue APC shege, even though they didn’t vote for him directly.

Wike is enjoying the reward of his own work for dividing PDP votes by kicking Obi out of the party.

anonimi:
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.

I don't like APC and Tinubu and will not vote for him, but Tinubu brought federal government presence in the south east more than any president from 1999. He's building almost all the federal road in the south east, plus 2nd 9ja bridge run way and all that. No doubt about that but hunger is in the land. That is why I won't vote him come 2027.

Ibos definition of them being favoured is a president who abandons the entire nation to focus on them. Look at he federal allocation given to South East vs what they generate. They rather claim victim mentality than face reality. They claim to marginalized while doing everything to isolate themselves. Why is it that most successful ibo entrepreneurs rather invest elsewhere? Before you blame someone first look into yourself. While your finger at someone the remaining ones are pointing back at you.

I knew you will repeat this same lies that you guys keep repeating.

How would it be reversed when the people that sponsored the Igbos to start the war wanted access and ownership of the oil in ijawland and regionalism would have prevented them from that..

You 1gb0s love for Whyte men is what affected and still affecting you guys. You guys will rather lose 50% derivation and regionalism to appease wyte people just because they wanted oil and you guys did not have the balls to tell them no..

I hope you guys are happy.

And the bad thing is they were also sponsoring the Nigerian side who also agreed to abolishing regionalism that's why they did not revert back to regionalism because it gave northern Nigeria access to southern Nigeria wealth same reason for the amalgamation in 1914.

After 1960 the 1914 agreement was abolished but you 1gb0s used your big heads to take us back to 1914.
