When it is time to vote Igbo for President, Nigeria won't seek validation from Igbo before electing a pan Nigeria from Igbo extraction to lead Nigeria. Peter Obi doesn't represent that, he is rather a tribal and divisive politician with proven record of vindictive tendency and myopic outlook.

Nigeria can no longer afford to vote a former governor with no single reform and legacy project to his name when he was a governor.

When is that time?

Can’t that time be 2027? Umahi is a member of the APC and is currently the Minister of Works under the Tinubu administration. According to you, he is the best. You can tell Tinubu to be a statesman, not seek reelection, and throw his weight behind Dave Umahi.

PotatoSalad:
Who is this child?
Build, build, build, that's all you people know. That's the same reason why children like you are defending the coastal highway, when the funds should have been used to rehabilitate existing federal highways.
Please note that I schooled in anambra when Obi was governor. So whatever I say from here isn't hearsay like a keyboard warrior like you is fond of. They're all facts.
Peter obi singlehandedly maintained and upgraded the condition of schools in anambra. I schooled in a private secondary school btw, and obi was the reason my alma mater is what she is today. I can go on but I'd be distracting you from your cartoon.
Oya go back to your cocomelon.

How much did you receive as state allawee during Obi tenure, lienus

Earthquakes:
So the massive relocation of Yoruba to UK, Canada, US etc shows that SW is poorly performing right??
Funny people

Yes it show UK is more developed than SW, we accept our weaknesses and not show arrogance like you guys are foing

You are an adult based on your comments so far and you would agree if you are sincere that Peter Obi out of personal interest prolong the chance of Igbo to become president in 2027 by moving Igbo out of PDP because he sensed he has no chance to win the presidential sit in 2023.

Had Yoruba chickened out the Obi pushed Igbo to do, the north will be cruising 10 years uninterrupted in Aso rock.

2027 is not. Igbo time for president in APC, you can pursue it in other political platform and let's see the outcome.

You can't bully everyone to gift you the president where we have over 500 ethnic groups. The reality today in APC demand that Igbo need to work their way through just like Umahi and Bianca is doing, but sadly many of you are too emotionally myopic just like Peter Obi to accept the bitter truth.

2027 deal is almost sealed for Tinubu just like it is sealed for the North in 2031, then you have SS to contend with in 2039 because they already positioned themselves through their input in APC politics, the only option for the Igbo is to pray the opposition win against APC, but with the reforms of President Tinubu, it is unlikely that such prayer would be answered.

If Tinubu economic reform yield positive result and lead to prosperity, then SE will have to wait much more longer than 2039 unless they quickly mobilise support for Tinubu and caution their disobidient children from insulting the SW who is the surest region that can support Igbo candidate to win election in the nearest future

tunjijones:
Why wld Osinbajo contrast the presidential seat against Tinubu? Is it morally right to
you? That is why we say the yoruba culture and belief system is totally different from your people's own.

Just imagine that ojukwu was still alive and he is interested in being the president and Peter obi will now want to contest against him after all ojukwu as done for him politically....

Yes I know you people dislike Tinubu but that shdnt stop you people from telling the truth.

Ojukwu was on the ballot qhen Chuba Okadigbo viced Buhari but Igbos voted Obasanjo a yoruba man. Nobody victimized anynody. Soludo openly declared support for Tinubu, nobody send am but you people want to kpai Aregbesola Rauf. i say it no tribe brought evil into politics lime yorubas. Atiku was kn the ballot with Buhari, nobody killed anybody or made noise. Its always a problem with yorubas. WHY?

Peacecore:
You should try to slow down. You're crying more than the bereaved

Are you bereaved?

Did you know how Tinubu polished Aregbesola from an hotel electrician to a Commissioner for Works in Lagos state?

Its good to dream!

he cant say that because even him knows where he belong

mohims:
But he is right. He has even thrown an open debate for anyone who thinks otherwise. In terms of performance as a Governor, he performed far better than your Peter Obi. Peter Obi was a collosal failure as a Governor. A Governor who didn't build a single school during his 8 years as Governor instead he built a brewery, that one na Governor? Obi left a debt of over 175 Billion for his successor. Poverty multiplied in Anambra during Obi's time as Governor. He was alleged to have a hand in the killing of over 1000 youths found in the Ezu river. Even Mazi Nnamdi Kanu called him out over the killings and even went as far as labelling Peter Obi a murderer. In terms of road construction in Anambra state, there was little of nothing to show during Obi's time as Governor. This is the same person who claims he can solve Nigeria's problems within 2 years. What a joke! Please fact check me on everything I mentioned about Peter Obi. Don't let sentiments cloud your sense of judgement. Obi has absolutely nothing to offer. He will NEVER rule this country called Nigeria. Know this and have peace!

"I should be the front runner when presidency comes to the South-East, not Peter Obi" - Dave Umahi

The Federal Government's information managers were touring the South-East to highlight the Federal Government's projects in the region. Engineer Dave Umahi made this statement during the tour and he was standing with the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, when he made the statement.

They are all so jealous of Peter Obi cos they know the truth..if the results were fair Bola would hv been no 3

Same thing they promised Buhari in 2019... and Buhari/BAT in 2023.

Ttalk:
You are an adult based on your comments so far and you would agree if you are sincere that Peter Obi out of personal interest prolong the chance of Igbo to become president in 2027 by moving Igbo out of PDP because he sensed he has no chance to win the presidential sit in 2023.

Nobody ask you to write this long essay

If you believe Umahi is the sure plug for SE president, then vote for him in 2027. He is an Apc member. Very Simple As AbCD.

casualobserver:
I would unpack every point you made but It’s too early in the morning on a Monday to unpack the nonsense you just wrote. It a whole lot of nonsense and a lack of understanding of Nigeria politics.


The best way I can respond to your delusional and emotionally laced appraisal which is summed up in your comment that “power is acquired through principled resistance” is this: You’ve watched too many western movies, this is not a western democracy or Latin American freedom fighters.. this is Nigerian politics. Power is acquired through trust, handshakes and alliances across tribes. No more no less…always has, always will be!!

If it were about principled resistance, there is no ore more principled resistance than Omowole Sowore, who has been resisting on principle since his teenage days. No principled resistance has upstaged an incumbent in the politics of Nigeria, don’t get carried away with propaganda and jargon.

You will hear some people say they fought for democracy, while true, they were either in jail, killed or in exile. Their fight was heading nowhere, we were around then o! They were all noise makers o, the west did not pay them any attention besides giving them asylum. Nothing would have happened. They didn’t win the fight o! It’s only because Abacha died and Abdulsalam a politically unambitious general who himself was about to be retired by Abacha became HOS. Otherwise your “principled resistance” would have died in Jail like Yaradua or Abiola or remained in Exile! It wasn’t their fight that brought about democracy or change, it was a stroke of luck and the intervention of God that Abacha died. Of Abacha had not died he would be on his 6th or 7th term as president and nothing would happen!

With the exception of the military, Principled resistance never leads to power in Nigeria o, dont let anybody fool you!
And even if you are going to be principled in your resistance you must be principled and resistant. By joining the same structure of criminality in alliance to the extent of pleading with them, Obi is neither principled nor is it resistance, joining this coalition is caving in not resisting, certainly not principled resistance!

All the other stuff you wrote is nonsense!

He wrote nonsense but it is you that making sense Hypocrite!

They guy just write his opinion. I don't why he pained you write this to write such long essay.

Stop forcing your opinion on others. You feels you everything, but you know nothing.

Stop being intolerant on other people political views and opinion.

stuffs2002:
I am not surprised you don't like him just because you consider him an inferior Igbo.

If Igbos rejects Dave Umahi and the rest of us Nigerians want there is nothing stopping him from becoming the president of Nigeria and you yourself know that Igbo votes are insignificant in national politics.

Oga I asked a simple question which national appeal? Even as it stands now Northerners know Obi more than Umahi.

Ttalk:
Did you know how Tinubu polished Aregbesola from an hotel electrician to a Commissioner for Works in Lagos state?

Is that why he wants to kill him? Tinubu is always having issues with everybody. From changing three deputy governors during his time as a governor, to having issues with Fashola, Ambode and now Sanwolu? Now he is presently having issues with Shettima, he has fallen out with his close henchmen El Rufai and Aregbesola. Very soon Tinubu will have issues with the qhole Nigeria.

Ttalk:
Even in Zamfara there are Chinese doing business. We are talking about massive migration of Anambra people where Peter Obi governed to Lagos where Tinubu was governor.

Now tell me one Lagosian that relocate to Anambra for economic reason

Show me one Lagosian that has relocated to Ibadan for economic reasons. I am waiting.

Believeintruth:
Oga I asked a simple question which national appeal? Even as it stands now Northerners know Obi more than Umahi.

I am a northerner and a Muslim living in the north and I can tell you that Obi is very much disliked in the north. As it stands now Umahi will beat Obi senselessly in a 2 horse race national election

ElevationD:
This is what you think when you have not ventured out of your small enclave. Maybe you need to get to Ore once, then get to Benin, Onitsha and then Abakaliki to tell yourself the truth and come out of your APC induced delusion. When you get to Ebonyi, you can then tell yourself that Anambra state is far bigger and far more developed. Aside from bridges, please point to what he contributed in terms of human capital development, when compared to Peter Obi. Let’s get the two of them to contest an election in the SE and your Chinese tiny eyes go clear quickly.

In the entire of the SE, Umahi is among the smallest to talk of the Presidency. By the way, where is the road map for him to get there?

Don't make me laugh please. I'm more travelled than you. Locally and internationally. Don't even go there. I lived in Anambra state for 3 years during when Peter Obi was Governor. I still remember what people always said about him. Obi was never amongst the performing Governors during his time as Governor. Please name one legacy project credited to Obi's name in Anambra state asides the brewery. Anambra was undeveloped during Obi's time. No roads, poor infrastructure etc. Take it or leave it, Obi was a collosal failure as Governor of Anambra state

Go and take your pills. Obi was a collosal failure. I lived in Anambra state during his time as Governor. Lies kee you there! Say no to drugs, that's my candid advice to you. It's having a terrible effect on you

eldoradoxx:
Umahi could not deliver Ebonyi State to Tinubu in 2023, Obi won presidential election under Umahi as Governor with 76% and Tinubu got 16%. Get that into your head.

Obi will NEVER rule Nigeria. Get that into your head too!

Ojukwu was on the ballot qhen Chuba Okadigbo viced Buhari but Igbos voted Obasanjo a yoruba man. Nobody victimized anynody.

Why are you talking like you are not too s.o.u.n d or are you doing this intentionally or is it a t.r.i.b.a.l thing?

Who is talking about who igbo vote for or not? I was only comparing what Tinubu did for Osinbajo in APC to what ojukwu did for Obi in apga. So what now brought okadigbo in the conversation?

Did you know that it was Tinubu that brought Osinbajo into politics when he made him the attorney general od Lagos state? Did you know that it was Tinubu that nominated Osinbajo to take his place to become VP to Buhari cos they didn't want to do Muslim Muslim ticket in 2015? What has Atiku done for Buhari in politics before that you are bringing them into this conversation?

Bros abeg try get s.e.n.s.e nau. Na God I take veg you

casualobserver:
Umahi and Somulo are the only Ibos currently acceptable to the rest of Nigeria and currently Umahi is ahead of Soludo.

The way our system is designed. A sub region presents a candidate and the rest of Nigeria determines whether he becomes president.


You may not like what he is saying but he is speaking the truth.

If Ibos were politically savvy they would take advantage of the goodwill Umahi is enjoying as a result of his excellent performance as works minister! The best works minister in my lifetime. I said it in a previous post, Tinubu gave him the role for a reason. 1) competence and 2) to boost his national profile. Remember Tinubu asked him to step down in the contest for SP and become Dg for Akpabio.

Ibos should not blow this opportunity. If you miss out on 2039, the next slot is 2055!

Don’t come here shouting it’s our turn or Biafra if you don’t play your politics right!

Is not longer Rochas okorocha. Is now Dave Umahi Did you dictate for buhari when north present him ?

Did you also dictate for the north when Atiku and kwakwanso run in 2023 ?

If you love Umahi or Soludo, then tell tinubu do withdraw his ree election campaign and back one of up as Apc presidential candidates and then become an elderstateman or better still support him in 2031 at least on the alter of peace , equity, fairness and.

But you can't do that because the love you have for him is not genuine. Is is fake. In Wikes voice. Oh fake!!. You like him because he attack Peter Obi and lesser extent, he is an Apc member. The same thing with Soludo.

If things go south. You will attack him. Reminds him that he is ipob, then went to unleashed the wrath of your lagos ibadan expressway (LIE) media propaganda on him to demonize him and assasimate his character. We know all these things.

If there is at least any igbo man that command such spread especially in the north, it is Rochas okorocha. But Okorocha is not president.


Despite the fact that okorocha was influencial in Buhari even more than Umahi was in tinubu government. Okorocha was the chiarman of Apc governors forum. He was philanthropist. He did a lot of things and projects in the north under Rochas okorocha foundation. He speaks hausa fluently. He was born and brought up in the north.

He needs a lot for them even more than his own people. He sacrificed a lot. He built brides. He extended alliance towards the north. Okorocha did a lot, I mean a lot for them!!!

But they couldn't repay the favor during Apc presidential primary. Okorocha couldn't even get One singe vote from delegates in the north even In the West. All the things he did to them was Wasted!

Ever since that. Okorocha hasn't recovered. He is no longer in politics again. Nobody remembers him again not even the north he did everything for. Everything was in vain. Okorocha treatment was worst!

The same thing will happen to Umahi and Soludo if they contest or go against your candidates.

Guy please I told you before to try and pretend to have some brain cells left. I didn’t read your entire post. You have not presented yourself in a way worthy of reading a lengthy post. I just scanned through.

I have never ever promoted okorocha. Please scan through my posts you will never see where I have ever touted him as a possible president. He is a word I cannot post or else I will be banned! That you think okorocha and obi are presidential material says a lot about you.

Secondly what have love for to do with this? I do t have to love someone to vote for them. I am not marrying into his family! In any event I have always said that based on facts on ground an Ibo presidency is not likely in the next southern cycle based on the way you have played your politics. If for any reason Umahi or Soludo get the ticket I will vote for them because they are not ethnic bigots and are competent but particularly because I respect their brand of police of bridge building and alliances.

Like I said I only scanned your post but I saw something about anti-Obi. Yes you are right in some sense….. because to many of us, anyone who can support Obi does not wish well for Nigeria. An Ibo man who is bold enough to speak against Obi whether or not he has personal motives is to me a good and courageous person!


Please do not respond to me again. We are done here! I want to be able to see my posts on this thread and if I block you which I will if you respond again I won’t be able to.

Let us agree to disagree and part ways here since we are banned from insulting each other and there is no basis for further engagement.

I am getting very irritated if you respond to me i know I will insult you I am. It willing to read anymore of your posts. So please just dey your dey!

I see your name on my mention and without reading I will just click your profile and block!

Truth be told. Dav Umahi does not have the popularity and general acceptance in Igboland as Peter Obi has. Also, truth be told that Dav Umahi performed much more better than Peter Obi as governor. Dav Umahi single handedly put Ebonyi state in the right direction with a lot of beautiful projects that is beneficial to Ebonyians not just in Abakiliki but on all LGA of Ebonyi even in the remotest villages. Abeg, Dav Umahi did very well and much better than PO. But I think he should hold on for his turn. He shouldn’t rush it. It’s the time of Peter Obi afterall, PO was governor before Dav Umahi.

You may not have promoted okorocha. Yes! But your people promoted him when he was a governor and even said he will be voted as president by the Apc. Reason is that he is not a tribal bigot but a one Nigeria who have build bridges and alliance.

But immediately he declared for president against your candidates. You guys and the north threw him under the bus. You guys went back to una default settings.

Am just pointing out of your hypocrisy. You people don't like Umahi or Soludo because you believe he is competent and has a good track record. You support him because they are anti obi or anything anti igbo or SE.

The day they run against una candidate. You people will unleashed una venom on them.

My post is not irritating. Just that you can't face the truth and accept your hypocrisy.

You wan use block to whine me I will quote anyone I like as far as I don't insult the person.

I don give you small headache today. Don't take it personal. We are all learning
