Oga, you are a Yoruba nationalist (is it supremacist?) and I don't expect anything less.

I am a man that believes in Equity and justice, this position my ethnic group stand on.

The North has had performers like Rabiu Kwankwaso, Sule Lamido, Ibrahim Shema, Hassan Dankwambo and several others who served and still serving as Governors. These are men that beat all aforementioned names you listed!!! Yet, no noise...

I'm not opposing Yoruba nation but I'm for rotational leadership across board to give everyone sense of belonging. Nigeria belongs to all of us

Diademk07:
Lmao.

Tonye is surely having a laugh or just being deluded.

The truth is the South can never be united, never I would say. Eventually, it would be the North ruling us for eternity which I'm up for anyway. Tbh, I never voted for Buhari nor Jona because I realised both are eediots, especially Jonathan who went all tribalistic in his approach and was never subtle about it. How could you as a president of different ethnics sit in front of a group of individuals calling another tribe "amala"? Not only did the eediot do that but had the audacity to laugh at the joke...

I simply sat at home that day watching how things would unfold and I will likely do that once again in the next election but what I know is the fact that the North will keep ruling us for ever, they only need one of the south alliance to make up the numbers and that's all. Jonathan and his advisers ruined what could have been. Such a shame!

I have always maintained at every given opportunity that the Igbos must be allowed to produce at least the NUMBER 2 man and subsequently the Number 1 man in this country from 2019-2031/2035.

Since 1999,

The SS has occupied both positions for 8 years (5 years President and 3 years VP)

The Southwest occupied both positions for 10 years and counting (8 as President and 2+ as VP)

The SE should be allowed and supported by all to produce the Southern slot in both capacities in succession before we can talk of shifting to another zone in the South.

Otherwise, it is injustice!!!

SuperS1Panther:
He came to Power because a Yoruba man that has built bridges over the years won an election which was annulled.

The sustained agitation for correction of that VISIBLE injustice led to OBJ's presidency. The agitation for upholding of June 12 was the work.

MayorofLagos:
You know, it should be nice to score and rank public officers. That way we remove ambiguity. All Hausa governors carry the mantle of Northerner on head and disturb us with noise of Arewa but yet no commitment towards a regional growth and progress. How can such people be better than governors who have championed growth, security and progress for their region? 6yrs and counting, Arewa this, Arewa that but they lack cohesion and vision to intervene and collectively push bokoharam out. These guys are poor resource managers and visionless, their citizens have abandoned homes and resttled in states where you say Governors make noise.

If you would be fair, not driven by personal motive, you should advocate for rotation amongst ethnics, and not regions. Has Kanuri ever been President or Vice President?

Sensual:
This is just senseless.

Are you trying to say that Yemi does not have leadership qualities
He has every right to contest in 2019. Yes it would seem shady if he was contesting against Buhari(if the idiot decides to contest again), but who fvcking cares?
We've had enough from the north. Why can't someone else from the west, east or any other region apart from North lead this country
This is one of the reasons igbos want Biafra.

I personally prefer Osinbajo to Buhari or any Northern alhaji.
Let us see what Osinbajo is capable of. The man has shown promising leadership traits.

The leadership mantle needs to be stripped from the North!

When he was first elevated to the status of Acting President on 19 January 2017, Professor Yemi Osinbajo embarked on a tour on Niger Delta region. His entourage included Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Ikachukwu; Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, as well as the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs. A move seen as a welcomed development by the good people of Niger Delta who saw it as a new chapter to finding lasting solution to the seemingly unending Niger Delta question. Not one of the rhetorical promises made to the people of Niger Delta by Acting President Osinbajo was ever fulfilled or rather, is yet to be fulfilled.

Some of us, however, suspected that the Osinbajo was neither interested in proffering solution to the Niger Delta question but to start a clandestine move to build his political capital ahead of 2019 Presidential election having read his body language.

As Vice President and sensing that President Buhari is/may be medically unfit to stand for re-election in 2019, Professor Yemi Osinbajo shifted his attention to build network in the north all for 2019.

On Thursday April 13, he went to Adamawa state to acquire the title of "Jagaban of Adamawa Emirate". Only yesterday, he went to Cross river state to collect another traditional title in Efik kingdom, Ada Idaha Ke Efik Eburutu. For what reason if not political?

While I recognize that the Nigeria Constitution gives Yemi Osinbajo the right to contest for any office, including the Presidency, I must also state that his clandestine moves to succeed Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 is counterproductive to the interest of Nigerians and threat to the unity of our country, this is aside his sheer incompetency in public service since he assumed office as Vice President, Chairman of National Planning Commission and Chairman of National Economic Council.

This article is not to talk about his preference for employing only people of his Yoruba ethnic group as Personal Aides, all these are stories for some other time. This article is strictly about the injustice that his Presidency will mean to the rest of the country if we allow it to materialise.

1. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE SOUTH
In the history of Nigeria, the Southwest and Yoruba nation have led the country for a combined period of 11 years and 11 months; Chief Olusegun Obasanjo held sway for 11 years and 8 months (8 years as President and 3 years and 8 months as Military ruler) while Ernest Shonekan held sway for 3 months.

Meanwhile, the South-south only led Nigeria for only 5 years and 25 days through Goodluck Jonathan, while the Southeast has NEVER led the country in Executive capacity save the 7 months under the military reign of General Aguiyi Ironsi.

Under this present democratic dispensation, SW and Yoruba nation has led the country for 8 years and has been occupying the Vice President office since 2015.

The Southsouth led the country for only 5 years and 25 days and occupied the office of Vice President for 3 years through Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

The Southeast has neither produced the President nor the Vice President.

Being a multi-ethnic region, it will be highly unfair for one region and ethnic group to seek to occupy the slot of the South in the Presidency in 2019 irrespective of whether it is the office of the President or the Vice President. It will amount to injustice to the ethnic nationalities in the South save the Yoruba for Yemi Osinbajo to succeed Buhari in 2019..

2. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE NORTH:
Since the return of this democratic dispensation in 1999, while the South enjoyed power for a total of 13 years (SW 8, SS 5), while the north only did for 5 years and counting through late Umaru Musa Yar’adua (3 years) and Muhammadu Buhari (2 years and counting). If the status quo remains till 2019, the north will haul a meager combined period of 7 years; a far cry when compared with the 13 years that the South held sway.

It is both morally and politically just that the North be allowed to produce the President of Nigeria come 2019 for another 4 years period. We must realize that injustice is injustice anywhere. Allowing Osinbajo, a Yorubaman/Southerner to succeed Buhari in 2019 will only cause disaffection among those in the northern part of the country. There will be feelings of marginalization will crept in. This is a situation the country cannot afford to entertain at this period.

MY SUPPORT FOR NORTH/SOUTHEAST TICKET IN 2019
Nigeria belongs to everybody, it does not belong to a section of the country. While it is fair for power to remain in the north, it is also fair for the Southeast to be part of the equation after years of absence. The only way to allow justice prevail is for a North/Southeast Presidency in 2019.

This arrangement, I strongly believe will calm the nerves of the people of the Southeast, give the Igbo people a sense of ownership in the Nigeria project and a sense of belonging in the affairs of Nigeria.

The Yoruba nation has always stood for justice, I am optimistic that they will stand for what is right come 2019. I have no doubt in my mind that they will not oppose the aspiration of a credible aspirant from the northern extraction and an Igbo man to assume the office of the President and Vice President respectively in 2019.

Amberon11:
I'm very sorry but you don't have sense. They have been right all along. You are totally devoid of any logical reasoning.

I don't even know how to start addressing the baseless, meaningless, inconsequential nonsense you wrote up there. But do yourself a favor and pick up your sense wherever you must've dropped it.

Sensual:
Then maybe a TIV man should come and rule us.

MayorofLagos:
You are well spoken but you are not well taught in politics. You don't allow or give Presidential office. Aspirants must invest themselves. If Ibo wants to be President what are they erecting currently in the political landscape to secure that interest?

TonyeBarcanista:
Bro, this is one blackmail that can never move me.

Yorubas only recently occupied the Presidency for 8 unbroken years and VP for 2 years (and counting) of the 18 years of this dispensation. The North were begged to allow Jonathan in 2011 (which naturally should be their turn in the interest of equity and justice), while the Southeast is yet to produce a VP not to talk of the Presidency.

If you are fair you should be championing a northern Presidency and Igbo Presidency if you are for the interest of the South.

This is justice, Nigeria belongs to all of us.

ephi321:
This thread will soon scatter. Lemme find my way out jejely

I can never take the OP seriously, but he certainly is entitled to his views.
