The South East now have a chance to produce a Vice President if Peter Obi will team up with Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming election....

Only that Alliance can defeat Jagaban

If Peter Obi contest alone, he will lose

If Atiku Abubakar contest alone, he will lose

When Atiku Abubakar is done with his Presidency, then Peter Obi can become president.

Just watch as Obidients will disagree with me on this..
Honestly, I support Peter Obi, your calculation is really right, if they team up, just have you have written up there, they will defeat jagaban...

I was also looking at Saraki/Peter obi or which ever way they want to run it

Thank God if not they would have blamed Igbos for the state of Nigeria

My happiness is that the two president that performed the worse never got Igbos support

Igbos rejecting Buhari and Tinubu shows they understand development and competence more than any region
And you always fail to produce great governors since 1999. Only about four or five governors from your region actually performed since 1999. You guys don't know nothing cos it is inbuilt hatred to apc who defeated Jonathan and because you guys were benefitting under him personally and meanwhile your zone were in mess. Which project under pdp government was attracted to you zone in sixteen years leadership. Do you want me to show fact how you people were always crying for second niger bridge since Obasanjo's tenure.

Front0lane:
Yet their candidate keep winning while you that vote in same dirextion can not win. Do you remember the proverb of lunatics doing same thing n wanting a different result ?!
How's does the two relate...

The difference between Igbos and most Nigerians when it comes to politics is this

Igbos vote who they believe is the better candidate... Doesn't matter his chance of winning

U guys can vote the devil if it means you get close to power

Before 2015 Buhari offered Igbos Vice 3 times they knew he would fail so they said no

If Igbos align with North like Tinubu did in 2015 Tinubu is gone but they are weighing the options ... Because it's better to waste votes on Obi than vote and incompetent person to replace Tinubu

If Igbos decide to play Yoruba style of politics una no go see draw

Nigeria is a tripod... Once two unite they win doesn't matter the configuration

In order word a perosn that did jot qin the presidential elwcrion should be made the president or what did I say that you are wailing about.

The only prerequiste to the presidency is winning a presidential election simple as A B C.

If you are interested in true fair n want the treatment Yoruba got for other regions, remember the sacrfice Yoruba paid to earn it.

Any region that feel deprive should quickly win a presidential election, have the winner jailed n killed, go on struggle for it actiualization like thw SW did so that only candidate theid tribe contest another presidential elextion to eventually becoming the president anything aside this is null n void.

southsouthking:
I had my share of presidency when Jonathan became president.
I'm from the south south zone.
I can't turn a deaf and blind ears to the termed marginalization just because I'm not from that region or zone.
I'm only clamouring for fairness justice and equity.
Don't think I'm igbo because i know your type.
Tribalism has eaten you so deep that you can't withstand uprightness.

By Nigerian standard Igbos have produced the best governors in Nigeria just that Igbo standard are high and they demand more

If you doubt take up my challenge
Ikpeazu vs osun ans Ekiti governors combined
For every project you drop from this two states I would drop two done by ikpeazu let's see how runs out of projects first

And how do you intend to stop Tinubu from rigging the elections. If he could do it with INEC when he was not in power, he can easily do it now that he's fully in charge.
The major issue is making the vote count, not who will contest against him.
In a free and fair election, Tinubu can't match either Atiku or Obi. In 2023 they defeated him even when they ran separately but his rigging magic did it for him.

NSK4U:
Yet those that continue to produce have nothing to show for it
Bros,
They have something to show for it.
Let's discontinue with this argument that power has not favoured any region. It is a fat lie that makes the disenfranchised to accept their condition.
Lagos, Abuja, rail networks, major highways, ports activities, "juicy" jobs at the NNPC, CBN, the Nigerian customs, NPA, the army, civil defence, immigration, mining licences, oil and gas fields licences, telecommunications licences, banking licences, insurance sectors..., name them.

All these sectors and operations/projects are skewed to favour those regions in power. They are benefits from controlling power at the center.
That's the truth and the people from the far north and the south west benefit more in all these.
How many Lagosians leave Lagos to Anambra to look for jobs? Compare that with the quantity of Anambrarians going to Lagos to earn a living.
That should answer your questions..

The South needs to complete her 8 years.

So Atiku should wait at least he was once a VP, what did he forgot to take at Aso Rock. Atiku was given significant power unlike Osinbajo and Shettima, but did nothing.

If PO is not supported by the coalition, then Tinubu should continue to pile hardship on Nigerians because Nigerians deserve what they get
If the south must be allowed to complete her 8 years then there is no need for Peter Obi to contest because if he wins, he will not step down after 4 years...

He will want to go on for two terms...

Making it 12 years for the South, which is highly unacceptable

So Peter Obi should forget about his Presidential ambition if the south must complete her 8 years.

This may provoke the North-Central to declare themselves as part of Biafra. Thereby locating Abuja within the territory of Biafra.

E no consign me. E choose wetin suite am, I choose wetin suite me. Since 1960, the South East have produced the presidency in Nnamdi Azikwe, Aguiyi Ironsi, Alex Ekwueme and several Senate presidents AND South West have produced presidency in Obasanjo, Sonekan, Tinubu, Diya and no single senate president.
So where is maginalisation?
Sorry Nnamdi Azikiwe was not an elected President. He is ceremonial President, a Prime minister was ahead of him, Aguiyi Ironsi was there for 6 Months as Military . There is one from Igbo extraction that has been President elected and served full term . For now let’s stay on his op discourse. Create your own thread let’s talk.

grin but he contested alone and won the last election according to ipobidient delusional clowns grin so why does he need to be Vp to his northern slave masters when the same strategy that won him the last election can still be used grin Abi what exactly has change? After all he is still the best thing to happen to Nigeria after slice bread from the way he turned tiny Anambala to dubia😂😂

grin indeed, like ekweme and others didn’t contest the primary election even though majority endorsed him. And by the way the dynamic was different because a Yoruba man won the election in 1993 and the election was annulled so the northerners all supported a Yoruba man even though others still contested the primaries with him and lost out grin

Tell us which election has an ibo man has ever contested and won before? grin maybe we can also use the same scenario that played out in 1999 grin

What is the benefit of president or vice president to their region if not for their own financial enrichment and their families/cronies.
You guys need to stop saying this.

If you see the number of projects that were sited in Daura because Buhari was president, you will be shocked. Buhari being president has totally changed that small town.

As for the positive benefits, you haven't seen it because we have dumbos running the country. The day an intelligent man will run this country for 8 years, everyone will stop asking this question.

Which Rigging... ?

Abeg leave that thing...

Why did Jagaban not rig Lagos in his favor. Lagos remains his stronghold but he was defeated in his own territory...

Apart from glaring and obvious rigging in Rivers State, there was no real evidence of rigging in the last presidential election....

If you deduct the votes Jagaban got in Rivers State from his total votes, he was still way ahead of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi

Atiku and Obi lost because their votes were shared.

Those that would have normally voted for Atiku Abubakar voted instead for Peter Obi.

Plaetue, Nassarawa, Abuja, Delta, Edo, Cross River were once PDP strongholds but shifted to Peter Obi when he left the PDP....

So if two of them can form an alliance for a combined vote, Jagaban will be defeated before 12 noon on election Day...

Jagaban cannot rig out that Alliance

You are absolutely right, but Atiku have been there as VP. Maybe Atiku should back Peter Obi and another good northern.

Because even in Adamawa, Atiku is hated.

I mentioned Obidients because they don't seem to understand that Peter Obi can never win the Presidency without forming an alliance with a strong Northern candidate like Atiku Abubakar.

I have had that discussion with some of them in this forum in the past

Peter Obi will be defeated a hundred times without the backing of the North...

And now that the South South is almost now in Tinubu's pocket, Peter Obi's path to the Presidency is fast becoming slim....

FYI.... I still support the PDP.

The level of marginalization going on in this country against the Igbos is insane.

Name one thing the Igbos or rather South East as a region has benefited from Nigeria peculiarly...just for SouthEast.

North has quota system (despite the fact that it's South East that lost 3 years of education due to war)

The West monopoly of Ports, pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals can't be imported from any other part of Nigeria apart from Lagos, all IOCs must have head offices in Lagos and file tax in Lagos, same with Airlines and major mining companies.

Pls name one thing the SouthEast as a region uniquely benefits from Nigeria...I'm waiting
grin you can twist the narrative about the port in Lagos to suit your mischievous narrative….first off, your region is landlocked with no access to sea but in your usual pattern the Yorubas should be blamed for that.

Your people are still the beneficiary of one Nigeria, you migrate to other regions like no other tribe and set up businesses and build houses without any interference but same can’t be said about your region which is why it is largely homogeneous.

What exactly do your region bring to the table? The revenue being generated is still the smallest in the south in both oil and non oil revenue, and even your politics sucks but you want everyone to just handover power to you just because you feel marginalised? What of other tribe who have not even near the corridors of power but are not crying like you cry babies, are they lesser Nigerians?

The earlier you lot realise the world doesn’t revolve around you, and you need to be diplomatic in your approach with other ethnic nationalities and leave this nzobu nzobu politics which have taken you no where, the better grin
