The Arewa Consultative Forum has said that despite the current alliance of Ohanaeze, Afenifere and Ijaw leaders over emerging political issues ahead of the 2019 elections, none of the socio-cultural groups will determine who emerges the next President of the country.

Speaking with Sunday Telegraph, Chairman of the Forum and former Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomassie, said much as there is nothing wrong or unusual about the current alliances and fence-mending among prominent groups, the election will be determined by the people.

“Wait till 2019 elections. I can tell you that these groups will not determine the direction of the elections in 2019. Rather, the only people who will determine it are the electorate. They are the people who will make the choice and go to the polls to cast their votes,’ he said.

The latest meetings were held in Lagos after a series of consultations led by Nwodo of the Ohaneze. Leaders of thought has harped on the rudderlesness of the North and the power vacuum created by Buhari's failure and ill-health and his inability to contest come 2019.

It is very glaring that there is no politician of Northern extraction that can inspire hope or reach across the southern-northern dichotomy. Atiku may have had some chance but perception on his part on corruption and deciet has tarnished his already disparaged image. This has been worsened by the attack of the Lagos Oba and his counter vituperation.

In all the stage is set for a weak Northern candidate to take on a rallying Ndigbo nation presidential aspirant. A show down is imminent as the entire south and a huge chunk of the middle belt are rallying with the idea of an Igbo president. The stage is set for an Igbo president come 2019 as the past presidents in the mold of IBB, Obasanjo and Abdulsalam Abubakar have thrown their support to the cause. The time is right and cause is ripe.

But looking at the political space, the only Popular Igbo Politicians fit to be president are these two Rochas Okorocha and Uzo Orji Kalu. Both of them are the only Nationalist Igbo Politicians the rest like Peter Obi are tribalist and not nationalist in thinking.

Rochas has positioned himself well,i urge Orji Kalu to start positioning himself though he looks uninterested in becoming the president.

Politics is a game of numbers. Stop dreaming, until the East can curry the favor of the North, they will unfortunately continue to dream of the Presidency.

Biafra can only also be gotten politically (militarily it's impossible like the last time), which brings us back to the game of numbers which is the North's ace.

so the biafra ish was to get the Presidency thru the back door grin

Nigerian youths will never cease to disappoint me.

Some are saying the north had ruined Nigeria after many years of ruling.

Seems you have forgotten that the north did not rule alone. Yorubas and Igbos are also culpable in running this nation aground.

After all said and done, an Igbo presidency won't ensure development in the east.

Ask from Obasanjo and Jonathan's people.

How much has Daura benefited so far from Buhari's government?

Politicians have succeeded in dividing us along ethnic lines for their own gain.


I want to suggest that the youths should come together irrespective of religion and ethnicity and demand for:


1. A full and total restructuring of the nation's polity to reflect proper and true federalism and do away with the unitary structure that is killing us.

2. The Senate at the national assembly should be scrapped. We don't need a bicameral legislature.

3. A full probe and investigation be made into the judiciary dating from 1999.

These among Many others should be the focus of youths not parochial interests like what is the religion or tribe of the next president.
