Let me tell you why every southeasterner is seeing Umahi as an ijiot and a shortsighted efulefu.

With Obi, the Igbos have a realistic chance of presidency in about 7 months.

With Tinubu the Igbos can only hope for presidency in 12 years time; with no guarantee.

With Atiku the Igbos can only hope for presidency in 8 years time with no guarantee.

Now, tell me the choice you would make as a sensible Igbo person.

When that 12 years or 8 years you talk about comes around, another reason why the south easterners are 'unfit' will arise again.

Then his likes will join a long line of victims from the late Alex Ekwueme to the ultra liberal, ultra cosmopolitan Rochas Okorocha who was told he did not 'do enough' to warrant widespread acceptance from the 'owners of Nigeria'.

No south easterners will ever do enough unfortunately.

This thing has been a recurring theme since the civil war across both civilian and military regimes. Nigeria has refused to move on.

The same politics that orji uzo kalu and rochas okoroawusa played that came back to bite them in the butts is what umeahi is still playing....
This people never learn.

When you sell your brother, even the buyer will be afraid of you.

so in your delusional mind, only your 5% vote can give you yiibo presidency without building alliances with the major regions of the country with the voting strength? No wonder Una still Dey political wilderness……how far have obi gone now, since he is doing it alone? even almighty buhari with all his regional influence still had to team up with Tinubu to become president…..Una never learn anything

No be dis man wey pesin dye for he house? Till today no body dey ask kwetion. De matter don dye jus like dat.

Dis our contiri don rotten finish

No single region can produce a president without an alliance with another region. That theory was already proved in 2023 and Obi did not win. Why does he continue to do the same thing the same way while expecting a different result?

SonOfDSoil01:
so the two major ones that have been rotating power just dash themselves power without building bridges and alliances? Don’t worry, make Una continue with Una nzobu nzobu politics and insulting and disrespecting those that is meant to give you power…….maybe by 2090 he go reach Una turn, hopefully sense prevail on Una by then

I'm not Igbo, first and foremost. I'm only going by what I was taught in school and fairness..I wasn't taught that alliances determined the political turn and entitlement. I was thinking it should be according to the "major groups" and not minority to rule. As we were made to believe.

It's nothing new to me.


Igbos can betray their own as long as money is involved and won't see anything wrong in it......That's what northerners will never do.

Umahi, Soludo and all the other Southeastern politicians are only against Peter Obi because they want to be considered for VP in 2031. The problem is that APC will not consider someone from the Southeast as VP in 2031 if the party fails to get substantial votes from the region. They are however right in saying that the Southeast as a region will have to align with one other major region to get into power. The coalition presented the shortest and easiest possible path to bring that into fruition while having a foot in the corridor of power as VP but Obi chose to walk away to run solo. 4 years or even 8 years is a very short time in politics. When you play politics at the national level in a highly diverse country like Nigeria, you have to also put your regional interests into consideration. Otherwise, just go be a businessman or try other endeavours.

Obi will likely come second if it's rigged and 1st if it's free and fair.... Atiku will come second or third depending on if it's rigged or not

pls read what you typed again and see if it makes any sense to you? So fairness dictate that power should be given to a tribe of people without contesting the election just because of fairness? I thought we practice a democracy where people go to the polls to vote their choice did anyone stop an yiibo man from contesting and testing his popularity at the polls because I don’t understand your argument

It will never be your turn, NEVER EVER

They are the one who truly understand power dynamic and short way for Igbo presidency, but for the rest of you, the mob, you just too overwhelmed by emotions and sentiment. Even Obi you people are following blindly know it.

Oh, so it’s actually turn-by-turn!? And there was i thinking it was the sole preserve of the Yoruba and Fulani…with the occasional deviation from the script to fool the naive rest into thinking they belong and are equals with the hegemonic alliance! Forgive me for being so forward and presumptuous!

Pray, since he’s in the know, could Umahi furnish us with the appointed time for it to be the turn of Ndigbo?….A people we’re told form the 3rd leg of the tripod on which Nigeria stands! Probably they wanna make it 2066….as in to make it one solid and unequivocal century!

You’re spot on bros! Don’t mind the emilokan acolyte with a misplaced sense of entitlement who responded to you before i did! His sort don’t have fairness in their limited vocabulary, and they wouldn’t recognise it if it walked up to them and deservedly punched their lights out!

So in your warped thinking, Peter Obi's ability to convince Kwankwanso of all people to run with him does not represent an alliance with another region?

You know, you don't need to sound dumb because you are supporting Atiku to win.

Political commentaries is not all about pushing out comments on a platform like this but doing so with objectivity and common sense.

You cannot be criticizing APC and Tinubu but at the same time be doing the very thing they are doing by believing that it is either your way or the high way.

Atiku has shown manifest incapacity to coalesce the opposition to a single force so he should try his luck on his own and stop looking for an opportunity to ride on Obi's popularity to win power.

You are still writing thoughtless pieces.

Was Atiku not on the ballot in 2023 and did he win?

Now tell me how your allusion to Peter Obi alone makes any sense?

Oga, this is not about Igbo. These political gladiators are speaking for themselves.

Mr. Peter Obi won more votes in 2023 than either Tinubu or Atiku. I understand that the real issue here is Mr. Obi potentially deputizing a man he defeated in the last election, someone who, at this point, does not appear to have a viable path to winning without the active support of Nigeria’s most popular presidential candidate at the moment.

Let’s allow the voters to decide at the polls in a free, fair, and credible election. We can come back afterward and review the results.

You guys are cracking me up. You should understand that Aminda supports his candidate and is pained that your candidate failed to be the VP. His candidate also failed to be VP to your candidate. At the end of January everyone will rest. 🤣🤣🤣

tuoyoojo:
The duo of umahi and soludo are the weapons fashioned against the ibos

Their are willing tools used to spoil the one Golden chance an ibo person has at presidency

250bn does the trick

Umahi, Soludo and Mbah are fighting Peter Obi because of their private political lives .
If Tinubu loses next presidential election, Umahi, Mbah, Soludo and Uzodinma shall become political dropouts.

What choice should you make as someone who is not involved in tribalistic sharing of the national cake of corruption through rotation and zoning in local, state and federal governments position, both in the legislative and executive branches

Umaih is arguably one of the smartest politician from eastern region. One thing we should all understand is that politics is a game of interest, all the political actors now are playing the game with their personal interest above public interest.

The Honourable minister is right in what he said. Tinubu must finish his eight years tenure.

Who won the last elections? An Igbo man who went to the Poll? The way they revealed that Abiola won June 12, 1993 election is the way they will reveal Obi won 2023. And guess what, you would be de'a'd by then

If Obi makes Nigeria better, even the ibos won't ask for biafra

chiiraq802:
No lies... you can't be asking for president and still be confused with "I want biafra or not".

Nigerians suffered insecurity and economic hardship under the north for 8 years. And are currently suffering a worst fate under the south and some of you are fixated on where the president originated from. Blacks!

So alliance with Kwankwaso is not alliance abi?

It will only qualify as alliance if the Igbo man was playing second fiddle, right?

The devil is in the details. It will all become clear after 2027. By the way, O I has made a u-turn today in Sokoto and now says he will return subsidy. What say you?

My point exactly!

A wise man learns from what is happening to others.

We have long list of Igbos who have tried to align in the past and got nothing from it.

So, it will be stupid of Peter Obi to toe that same line.

If the thumbs of northerners will break if they thumbprint for an Igbo man then let Tinubu continue.
