There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by fergie001(mod): 9:17pm On Jul 28, 2025
Seun Okinbaloye's interview with Ali Modu Sheriff

Modu Sheriff is a former Governor of Borno State and erstwhile National Chairman of PDP

SOkin: If you go by that, you will discover that Peter Obi does not control any State when he ran on the platform of Labour Party

Ali Modu Sheriff: The problem wiith Peter Obi is that he ran on the platform of a Party and his tribe, the Igbos voted for him and they will always do that.

SOkin: Lagos voted for him. He won in Lagos.

Ali Modu Sheriff: Listen, there are more Igbos in Lagos than other tribes. I lived in Lagos almost all my life, since I left England in 1980, I have lived in Lagos. Lagos is occupied by the Igbos, there are some Hausa people.

SOkin: So there are no Yoruba people that voted for Peter Obi in Lagos?

Ali Modu Sheriff: If there are, they are very small.

SOkin: And they are so much that the President was defeated and he couldn't win his home State? Atiku won his home State, Adamawa, also Peter Obi won his own State of Anambra. We are talking about facts and figures. Your Excellency, the facts and figures supports the fact that you don't have to own any State as a political Party to win an election in Nigeria.

Ali Modu Sheriff: Seun, but this is Nigeria. You have to have people to win elections. Election is about numbers.

This is an open secret and reason why one particular section of this country want Igbos to bend for them before they can have peace in Lagos, one Nigeria is a scam, Obi it's better to deputize Atiku and take over power after his tenure, there's nothing like Southern presidential turn, how can Igbos take over your land when we share no boarder with each other.

The eyes of the liberal Yoruba have opened, let Obi come back and harvest the vote of hatred, abuse and arrogance planted by his brothers n 2027, we are waiting for them

Every interview is now built around Peter Obi to attract traffic, even APC online warriors keep refreshing their browsers searching for posts mentioning Obi grin

I am literally tired of you all in this country

This whole tribalism stuff is sickening

Definitely the number of igbos is more than any other group but this again is not a good thing.

The smartest igbos who are neither in the classroom of universities or overseas are likely in the corporate and business rooms of Lagos and Abuja. This is the real brain drain. We need to reverse it
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by cr8v(f): 9:48pm On Jul 28, 2025
Believe those you'll believe anything. So igbos are more than yorubas. Same with Abuja and Benue etc. This politicians just throw words arrogantly. Those days are gone. You're now dealing with intelligent digitally savvy youths

So more Igbos in Lagos? Abuja, Jos and more..

A good product remains a good product irrespective of tribes and ethnicity.

Don't create distracting posts with: ALL WORDS BOLD / huge font sizes / ALL CAPS / distracting imagesspaces, etc.
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by erad(m):
Very ignorant statement, even the Igbos won't say this. This is how politicians divide and conquer.

How do you fight them when you are busy fighting yourselves?

Obi won Lagos because the youths irrespective of tribe aligned with him.

It's simple.

So what's the best tactics now for APC?

Host a new campaign names "Operation Igbo out of Lagos"?
Una claim Peter Obi isn't a threat yet 99% of news concerning APC opposition is always about Peter Obi

Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by ebuk4real(m): 9:50pm On Jul 28, 2025
huh

Everything obi.

Soon, we will be forced to be thinking about him. APC people are truly jobless and foolish
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by Judolisco(m):
Not really a lot of factors contributed to obi's victory in lagos...... Obi won 12 states and apart from Nassarawa, all the 12 states are Christian states including Abuja.... Even nassarawa sef have a high Christian population.... And some of us voted because we don't want a Muslim-Muslim ticket.... But as tinubu said, he had no choice.... Atiku would have won, if he picked any other candidate...

Even Jonathan in 2015 did well in lagos than obi....
D issue tinubu have now is with Atiku and not even obi.... As Atiku will inherit late buhari's vote....
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by Mabuggi88:
That's not true. The Yorubas are by far more.
But why are Yorubas panicking on anything about the Igbos, A mere olden days saying that Lagos is no man's land because of its metropolitan nature not because of multiple ownership, they have turned it into a daily tribal fight here and there.
One has to go on Facebook abi Twitter to claim Lagos was not the capital just to refute that fact. Tell me where is present day Lagos Island? In Kebbi state? It is irrefutable to say Lagos was not the Capital of Nigeria for 77 years, if you like delineate the whole of Lagos to pieces just to deny that fact. That Marina and its environ was the headquarters does not mean it was just only the FCT. Why was third mainland bridge built across the mainland? Why was the National stadium built in Surulere?. why was Nigeria's main international airport built at Ikeja, etc Una de play.
Lagos Island was to Lagos as capital what Aso Rock villa is to FCT Abuja now. So is it right to say the ASO rock is just the FCT and not the whole of Abuja? Reason am

Can the yorubas on this platform face the Ali guy and leave Igbos alone ?
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by Tflex01:
Lol.... This sub is for the "Yoruba buts".

Just few hours after Obi won in Lagos, the Igbos in Lagos were saying exactly what Ali Modu said.

The Yoruba saving grace was the governorship election, many people would have still believed that Igbos are truly more in Lagos. 😆
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by obembet(f): 9:51pm On Jul 28, 2025
Book haram founder has spoken.... Let hope Peter obi will win again in 2027 grin
