Yorubas are now correcting their mistake by begging the Igbos for forgiveness.
Supporting Igbo presidency in 2027 is the right thing Yorubas should do before it is too late.

I think you guys need to check yourselves. This is getting too much. I now understand why buhari said he wanted to build 15 psychiatric hospitals in the SE. Reading stuffs like this puts obi saying he receives advice from a mad man into perspective.

This op and fake news are like bread and butter.

Sorry we don't need the South East votes. We are not trying to be disrespectful. We are not just interested in their votes

We don't want votes that will eventually turn to liability

We are really bad . Yoruba demons indeed.

President for 8 years - Obasanjo
VP for 8 years - Osinbajo
President for 8 years - Jagaban

Out of how many years nah? A region has not even produced VP, but produced 6 Senate Presidents in 8 years because they are kindergarten politicians of I no go gree, I no go gree, Nzobu Nzobu.

We are the Sophisticated West (SW)

A prominent socio-political group in the South-West has issued a heartfelt appeal to the Igbo people of the South-East, calling for forgiveness, reconciliation, and a renewed commitment to national unity ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.

In a statement released on Monday, the group acknowledged the deep feelings of disappointment and political loss among many Igbos following the 2023 presidential election, which resulted in the emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a Yoruba man, at a time many Nigerians believed it was morally appropriate for the presidency to rotate to the South-East.

The group admitted that history, equity, and the spirit of federal character suggested that the Igbo people deserved a fair opportunity to lead Nigeria after the completion of eight years of southern leadership following President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.

“We speak today not in pride, but in humility,” the statement read. “We recognise that our brother, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, emerged at a time when many of our Igbo compatriots felt it was finally their turn. For the pain this has caused, we ask sincerely for forgiveness.”



The Yoruba leaders emphasized that their appeal was not an attack on the current administration, but rather a call to heal long-standing wounds and correct perceived political imbalance through democratic means.

In a significant political declaration, the group pledged to mobilise massive support across all six South-West states—Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti—for a credible Igbo presidential candidate in the 2027 general election.

“Nigeria cannot progress if any major ethnic group continues to feel excluded,” the group said. “The Igbo are industrious, innovative, and deeply committed to the unity of this country. Supporting an Igbo presidency in 2027 is not a favour; it is an investment in national stability.”



The statement also called on fellow Yorubas to rise above partisan interests and remember the historical alliance between the Yoruba and Igbo people, particularly during Nigeria’s struggle for democracy and justice.

“Our strength as Yorubas has always been fairness, reason, and leadership by example,” the group noted. “We urge our people to look beyond fear and propaganda, and to support a competent Igbo candidate who can unite Nigeria and move the nation forward.”



Political analysts believe the statement, if followed by concrete action, could reshape conversations around zoning, inclusion, and inter-ethnic trust ahead of 2027.

As Nigeria continues to grapple with economic hardship, insecurity, and social division, many observers see such gestures of reconciliation as a necessary step toward rebuilding faith in the country’s democratic future.

You and your pretending habit are like bread and butter.

Tinubu is a one term president of Nigeria and the last Yoruba president in Nigeria.

When you are ready to beg Igbos for forgiveness let me know.
