If Presidency Is Zoned To South East, It shouldn't be Anambra - Umahi by fergie001(mod):
Umahi: Okay, Igbos should be President and it's for four years and others are doing 8yrs, but Peter Obi decided that Igbos should do just 4yrs. Who and who had a meeting with our brother, Peter Obi to say he should go for us? There are three other Presidential candidates of Igbo extraction, who did he consult? Did he consult me?

Ojy Okpe: There are three other Presidential Candidates from Igbo extraction, what are their names?

Umahi: I think there is one from NRM or so

Ojy Okpe: You don't even know his name?

Umahi: I know there is one Anyanwu or so....You cannot play politics in the South East without consulting people like us. You should have come because my future is at stake. The future of my state is at stake, the futures of my brothers and sisters are also involved. So, we sit down and discuss, is it the best time for us to look for this. Do we support another region so that when it's our turn, they will support us. That was not done...if I was contesting, I would have done that.

And again, if a Presidential slot is to be zoned to the South East, President starts its job from the top and from the bottom. So, it will be the turn of Ebonyi or Enugu or Abia or Imo because we have had President Azikiwe from Anambra state. So, can't we also allow other states if we say the Igbos never went. That would have been one of the items for discussion... He should have consulted the Governor's, they are our leaders and they will have called us and we would have said, let's support President Bola Tinubu to finish his 8 years, so we will now sit down and discuss in the context of the Nigerian State.

I have always said it that Umahi is suffering from low self-esteem due to the way Ebonyians are often perceived in the East. He sometimes tries to over-compensate for it by being garrulous but it only makes the low self-esteem more conspicuous. On the instructions of Tinubu, he has commenced an Anambra VS Ebonyi battle but that won't make Tinubu win Ebonyi state.

You see Umahi... His jealousy for obi is bigger than his competency as an engineer.... So where were you when atiku took obi as his running mate in 2019, I guess you were still wearing diapers....as a baby politician...

Obi will win you in your ward in abakiliki....stop foaming from the mouth already

Hehehe! This short stump thinks he matters in the scheme of things. Perhaps he is oblivious of the EFCC hounding the new govt due 2027 is gonna subject him to account for all the corruption under his ministry.

Grandiosity of paranoid proportion. Dave Umahi you are mad! Peter Obi will remain your albatross till eternity.

Umahi is a strong contender for VP ticket under APC in 2031. He is a better politician compared to others from South East.

I might not know much, but I can guarantee you that Obi will not be the next President from the SE.

Reporting live straight from our one and only Erudite Professor of Engineering in Practice.

Nigerians are still appreciating him for his highly cerebral intervention on the 1st Niger bridge with the addition of the concrete divider.

Umahi is a big fool. Now we are seeing the beef against Peter Obi. I wonder why Umahi thinks his opinion matters in south east affairs. Let him keep fooling around.

Abakaleke dwarff. Who stopped you from picking presidential form to vie for presidency? Anambra shall continue to lead the Igbo race. God made it so.

Oga by the time you think it is rightly your turn after misrepresenting yourself, those people you think are your backers will then realise that Ikwerre has some Igbo semblance and support a candidate from their over you.

They will always have excuses for why it is not Igbos turn yet so don’t think you are them any recordable favor.

Umahi has written his name in the records of Nigeria with many great projects. He will be remembered for many projects that will.last for generations. You cannot point to one single capital projects that your Agulu packaged fraudster wil be remembered for. Not a single one.
Obi wil be remembered as a tribal and religious bigot. His religious war tape will be played for decades to come as a prove of how not to run for office.
The Agulu packaged fraudster has exposed the tribal and religious cacophony that exists in the SE. Now the country can confirm what they already suspected. What was hush hush before, are said in the open thanks to the IPOB candidate.
Not all Igbos support IPOB, but 99 percent of those that support IPOB also support Obi.
Do the math.

An inferiority complex is what Dave Umahi is suffering from. He has forgotten that Azikiwe was from the old Anambra State, from which Enugu and Ebonyi were carved.

We will rather give professor Yomi osibanjo the south east turn than vote any of the 2 names you mentioned. As at today, Peter Obi remains the best candidate to rescue Nigeria

Ebonyi are perceived by igbo from Anambra, Abia, Imo and enugu are not real igbo. Had a friend from Anambra then during my undergraduate days. Even during my NYSC days(2011-2012) In Agulu Anambra state. Was told ebonyi are not real igbo.

Re: If Presidency Is Zoned To South East, It shouldn't be Anambra - Umahi by ElevationD:
Attackers attacking each other. Hypocrites everywhere.

If Umahi contests the Presidency, he will find be defeated by his own South Easterners.

The greedy man has not gone past the embarrassment of 2023. He’s not able to come to terms with the level of popularity of Mr. Peter Obi in Ebonyi state. We know that Ebonyi people will repeat the performance in 2027 and also completely floor Nwifuru and Nwebonyi.

He is angry that Peter Obi did not consult him. Someone should please remind the man that he is not among the reckoning of Peter Obi. He was clearly told by Obi that they are not in the same league. If Obi did not consult him, it means that Obi simply sees him as nobody in the politics of the South east.

While Obi plays in the champions league. Umahi plays the local league. His mate na Soludo in the local league.

Once again, Umahi should be reminded that Obi floored him in Ebonyi in 2023. Obi remains more popular and far bigger than Umahi in Nigeria and anywhere in the world. Umahi can continue to consult with Anyim and co.
