My boss for life! President ⁦@GEJonathan⁩ graciously nominated and supported me to be President of the ⁦@AfDB_Group⁩ in 2015. I was happy he told me "I am very proud of you. You have done a great job! You have made Nigeria and Africa very proud." Thank you Sir! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Jonathan is a good and detribalised leader.

This is what PETER OBI would have done also.

Tribal leaders we have today would have nominated their own irrespective of competency.

Vote PETER OBI , forget tribal sentiment

I like Akinwunmi Adesina. Dude is strategic about giving Nigerians jobs at AfDB. He did a great job by delivering on the 439.5 km Enugu (Nigeria) - Bamenda (Cameroon) highway too.

Mr. Okey Oramah should also make sure that Nigeria benefits from his position at the Afreximbank. Na so e suppose be!

It’s very wrong to campaign for someone that’s only strategy is character assassination, bigotry and hypocritical. Go and read obi’s fracas with ngige when he merge his picture with Awolowo and tinubu calling him “ Yoruba candidate! Just to demarket him . When you don’t have anything upstairs that’s when you resort to such petty behaviour. Anyways , he can only fool his illiterate, patriotic and intelligent Nigerians already rejected him.

We always heard GEJ didn't like yorubas and sidelined them and that's why they joined hands to vote him out, they use this to always justify their support for apc sidelining Igbos, right from buharis era
.the truth will keep coming out one by one

Non of Buhari and Tilimgbu will ever nominate anybody from the former Eastern region for such econonically important position today, because of their RABID TRIBALISM ofcourse ..The APC has succeeded in bringing out the worst in Nigerians.
And you know what?
Inspite of all that Tilimgbu and that bundle of disaster called buhari have done to this country over the last ten years with their petty minded politics, if you put GEJ back in that position, he would still be that altruistic in his political dealings..

That should tell you a lot about the people/regions and the type of political ideologies that got this country into the huge mess she finds herself in today..

GEJ does not play ethnic and bitter politics like their kinsman is doing.

GEJ goes for the best and not just picking any shenanigan and place in position to do absolutely nothing other than destroy the economy.

Tinubu would have looked for, and nominated one former local government chairman in osun or one of his commissioners when he was a governor

Buhari would have chosen one retired Fulani herder from Sokoto to take up the position.

I can bet you that not only will Obi be tribalistic about that nomination, he'd ensure he nominated a Catholic.

Yes, say I said it. I am from Anambra as well. You want proofs?

The first time he wanted Obiano out, he brought Oseloka Henry Obaze, a Catholic, to become Governor. The second time, it was yet another Catholic, Val Ozigbo, to replace Obiano.

In the 80s when he was a military dictator, he actually supported a mallam from Niger Rwpublic over an Easterner for a United Nations positions being contested by Nigeria too!

just check it.
Those with touch of Igbo in their names, are never tribalistic.

Should an Igbo man become the president today, his Igbo brothers would be the first to kick his butts so hard, if he comes with any policy against the well-being of the people, that other tribes would be like, "I thought he is your brother".

You would be hearing something like, "let this man not destroy my business ooo" ." he is a president for his family". "He is not feeding me". " Nwanne, for him pocket o. Them no dey dobale for anyone, especially when things are going down o
