Bring a new, liberal and educated yoruba presidential candidate and you will see a higher percentage of southerners including igbos supporting him. The question is why.
It is because the issue is in the person called tinubu.
I think the main issue is a subconscious one. Southerners will automatically kick against the person called tinubu not just igbos but larger percentage of all southerners. Because they feel tinubu played a very betraying role when we had a southern President. He supported the north because of his selfish interest against the southern interest. Which the people of the south east and south-south has a record of it and is waiting for a day to pay him back. So now coming to seek for the support of the south east and south south for the same presidential position you denied them of is mere child's play.
Bring a different yoruba person that is liberal, wducated and not attached to this same tinubu godfatherism, then see yourself garnered support

Bro I must be honest with you it can not be possible. I'm of SE origin but I don't deceive myself bro it can't work.

Just look at the situation on ground then do the judgement yourself. It can only happen if rigging for SE happens and who will do the rigging, is it fulani man or Hausa or a Yoruba man that will rig presidency for SE? Bro it's impossible.

If it's by vote pls which region apart from SE in fact not even all SE will vote for igbo as president bro take it or burst it it's a fact. Yoruba can not stand on the queue to vote for igbo man because we've really insulted and abuse these people so much, Hausa/Fulani will never because civil war and how all their ex leaders were assassinated and all the assassinators are igbo pls check history, Edo can not because we regard them as nobody hurling constant abuse on them and calling them all kinds of names finally Kanu of IPOB killed it all in fact he buried it all with his stupid miscalculation and utterances so bro forget it unless *miracle*.

I know I have offended my people again because my post annoys them simply for my refusal to fall for nasty pranks and be filled with destructive ego but I don't give a bleep.
Finally we claim we are not Nigeria then why talking presidency in Nigeria huh

God bless
you have spoken the truth here, one thing majority of the people dont know is that the plot to install tinubu as president is part of the merger deal tinubu and buhari went into before apc was birth, igbo on the other side are there abusing everyone and boasting online instead of them to speak with one voice of igbo presidency yet they there casting tinubu aspiration, i laugh when people are saying no blocked vote from north and because some people talk that , tell me why tinubu relocated to abuja and make sure the the national assembly election was perfect and everything was in order, tell me where the title jagaban come from if not the north, the only lifeline apc is having after buhari is tinubu if not ......

Yes things are more better in the Southwest than in southeast but will be more better in 2023 when a Yoruba man becomes president.. Buhari just taught everyone how the position of the president should be used to better your kinsmen life.. in 2023 by the special grace of God it's going to be Yoruba government just like it's Fulani/Hausa government now..You Igbo trying to scuttle Southwest reach at presidency will wail tire!! Yoruba is getting this make una go kill una sef

[b]Pls tell me the region that will vote for tinubu [/b]apart from yourselves or are there other regions aside SE,SS and North as a whole? Or will God and his angels come down from heaven to vote for a south westerner?

South southerners you heard It all that you all are insignificant when it comes to playing politics in Nigeria and you should go to cameroon

I can't just wait for 2023 so I could gloat over these dreamers
Keep shouting Tinubu. Ode and big mumu. Yoruba is loaded as far as Presidential material without needing to risk it on Tinubu's who would be a hard sell. Starboy Osinbajo is high up the list. Fayemi, who became chairman of Governor's union as a new governor, is suitable too. Fashola many Nigerians know and love. It is you Igbos stuck in civil war instigated hatred of others who do not realise that ground root political mobilisation will still make a popular SW politician defeat a Northern opponent as has happened before . We keep telling you politics is about permanent interest but this simple concept remain alien to you Igbos.

Who asked his opinion? We know them from antecedents. Na only dem no vote Abiola but go vote Tofa from NE. We say make dem play their own politiks leave Tinubu alone, dem no gree. Na wa o.

quote author=silverbirdng post=79596717]Former National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of the Imo State University (IMSU), Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie, has said that it would be difficult for power to return to the Southwest in 2023 going by power equation in the country.

According to him, even if the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, brings all the money in the world, he would not be the next President as the position will go to Northeast in 2023.

“Before, the Sokoto emblem was ‘Born to rule’; now if you look at the six geo-political zones in the country, the Southwest has served for eight years, South-south six years, put them together it isn14 years, they left Northwest alone another eight years with two years of Yar’Adua, which is 10 years, only one zone out of the three, the Northeast has not gone, North-central has not gone, the Southwest has gone, the South-south has gone, it remains the Southeast.

“Look at the number of years they have gone, South has covered 14 years; North has covered or will cover 10 years when Buhari completes his tenure.

“I don’t think they would allow the West, even if it is Tinubu, let him bring all the money in the world, the President will go to Northeast in 2023,” he said in an interview with Sun newspaper.

On the political situation in the country, Awuzie described it as wobbly, saying that sometimes it seems President Muhammadu Buhari is on holiday and detached from the problems plaguing the country.

He said, “We have a wobbling leadership, sometimes it appears to me that our president is on holidays, he has to take grip of situations.

“We are in a country you cannot go to bed with your two eyes closed, a country you cannot guarantee six hours of light, a country priding itself that we can produce 8,000megawatts when South Africa produces 30,000megawatts, you are talking of 8,000megawatts for a country of 200 million population, I think we have a long way to go.

“What I am saying is that the leadership should be more pragmatic, we must look at harnessing the best; our problem in Nigeria is that we are not using the best to drive both the economy and governance.”

Nobody over Hypes Tinubu it's crystal be contributed to Buhari's success the thing is that you guys don't want to accept it because of hatred. He did it back to back even when Saraki and Atiku left he still delivered. Kiss the Truth. If Buhari will give him the same support in 2023 the possibility of him winning is high. It's obvious South /South and South/East can't stand acchance against South west when they align with the North we just saw that few months ago in the Elections.
What's APCs winning margin to PDP in the south west?. Somebody who couldn't deliver his zone to Buhari. North made Buhari president both in 2015 and 2019. Take away the winning vote if APC in the west Buhari still will win the election in both 2015 and 2019. Let's wait and see where Tinubu will manufacture the vote that will make him president. Tinubu can never be president of Nigeria and south west can never be president in 2023.

One thing everyone is failing to come to grasp with is that in NIGERIA, your VOTE DOESN'T ACTUALLY COUNT!

If and only if by 2023 the APC doesn't fragment and TINUBU is picked as its presidential candidate then you can be rest assured that the elections will be rigged with more sophistication than you saw in the just concluded elections.

Forget all these nairaland banter going back and forth. The only way to stop APC if they field Tinubu come 2023 is to reform INEC and the electoral process to ensure a free, fair and credible election across the entire 36 states of NIGERIA.

but above all, let PEACE REIGN come what may, cause where there is LIFE there is still HOPE!

You are talking about the merger deal Tinubu had with Buhari, please tell me why the same Buhari relegated Tinubu and sought to undo him politically after he won the first term only to pick him up from the trash dump where he left him to work again for his re-election? Moreover, endeavour to remind me of one promise Buhari made to anyone and fulfilled.
When one sees the stark reality and still chooses to create hope in hopelessness, then I am inclined to believe you are merely excercizing faith which unfortunately is inapplicable in Nigeria's brand politics.

It's not by total amount of vote... If that's the case the North will continue to rule because of their population. You must have at least some percentage of vote in all the regions that's where Tinubu helped came in he delivered majority of the South west. Check Buhari's CPC stats In 1999,2003,2007,2001 and compare it to 2015&2019.

A southerner will be the next Nigeria president come 2023 if God tarries. The question is which part of the south prays for it?

2015 still fresh.

The earlier you guys wake up, the better. The reality is that , it will take a long time before a southern can become president again. Be reminded that the power tussle is between APC and PDP. If APC decide to field a southerner , PDP will alway field a northerner, and That northerner will surely win cos north never abandons there own.


Simple permutation. Understand that it will take more than mere talk to convince SOUTHEAST and SOUTH SOUTH to vote for a southwesterner considering what happened in 2015
grin grin grin grin History is now back in the Nigerian schools, do yourself a favor and and join the history classes.
No be today e don tey, SW and SE don't share any kind of political affinity, we don't agree on anything, SW have learned to survive politically without SE.
So why exactly will SW be waiting for SE that have Never support us in anything to make us president.
You guys should stop making noise, how many of our candidates have you ever support?, and please don't tell me Obj, he was NEVER our choice so how can he be our candidate?.
Instead of working on bringing out a good candidate for 2023 election, you people are trying to kill UNA SELF trying to stop Tinubu. grin grin , grin.
Stop him or any other Yoruba candidate if you can.
Yorubas have learned to protect themselves from deceitful and back stabbing politics from the SE.
From a S/Easterner, fighting tooth and nail to become our premier is SW, to corniving with the North to cut the Midwest and our brothers in the current Kwara and Kogi state away, from SW.
And as if all these is not bad enough, trying to colonise and subjugate us pretending to be helping to liberate us.

1) GEJ lost re-election in 2015 ,how does that amount to Tinubu's betrayal?
Every citizen, including Tinubu has a constitutional right to support any candidate.



Tinubu had every right to support the presidential candidate of his party.

2) You are NOT fighting GEJ's battle. You are just being clever by half.

Atiku, Sararaki, Tambuwal and Kwankwanso played key roles to ensure that Jonathan was defeated, you aren't bitter about their actions, you later became their ardent supporters and even now ,you have already pledged your unsolicited support for them come 2023.

Your interest is just to look for people who can help you to prevent a SW presidency QED.

3) Even GEJ and the Ijaws have move-on but you are still stuck in the past, very bitter about the 2015 election and are now looking to how to 'revenge'.

4) Support your Atiku, Tambuwal or whosoever you like and stop assaulting our sensibilities as if we are kids.

I think that the only reason why it would be almost impossible for Tinubu is because he is a Southern Muslim.

A Northen Christian or a Southern Muslim would hardly be President of Nigeria today.

The political configuration wouldn't allow that given that the choice of deputy becomes problematic!

While the South might be more liberal with a Southern Muslim, the North esp the KKK states would never give their votes to a Northen Christian as Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate.
U are absolutely right!
Infact they will prefer Southern Christians then Northern Christian.

grin grin grin This one is still in Cifia pains, Tinubu and ACN were in Anambra to campaign for Dr Chris Ngige, as the governorship candidate of ACN in 2014.
When your folks were jeering and stoning Tinubu and the ACN folks in 2014, this is NOT the betrayal of southern unity?.
Tinubu is a man who just wants to get his people moving, the same Tinubu that rejected any kind of alliance with Buhari in 2011, to avoid playing spoiler against a southern brother, was later disgraced by the so called southern brothers in the east in 2014.
Tinubu is like that stone which the SE politicians or should I say builders rejected.
He has moved on to become the pillar in the national politics, oh you would have preferred Tinubu remain in Lagos, so that you and your likes continue to call him a local champion? grin grin grin.
You guys never in your wildest imagination expect what happened in 2015, more shockers awaits you in 2023.
Dr Chris Ngige would obviously have become the senate president, had he won the senatorial election of his constituency, but you people cannot reason beyond your hate for anything Yoruba.
Politics is not just a game of give and take, it's a game of knowing when to give and when to take. grin grin grin, when to play it right and when to play it dirty.

The prof made some valid points but let me opine. The main reason why Tinubu or any southerner will find it very difficult to win peradventure he contests in 2023 is that there is great DISUNITY in the south


The disunity is so clear that even a blind man could notice it. There is a cold war between the southern region especially the south easterners and those from the south west. For an example in this forum one constantly comes accross words like AFONJA, BIAFURO, Biafra, TIFFNUBU, COWNU, POTOPOTO REPUBLIC, BROWN ROOF REPUBLIC, SKULL MINING REGION, EROSION RAVAGED REGION E.T.C are some of the words used by each region to insult the other.


The just concluded elections speak volumes. the SE and SW voted in opposite directions. The North knows this fact, so power will remain in the north beyond 2023 unless the south could bury the hatchet and unite
The level of Mumuism in the south is worrying

Oh for your info am a proud Ijaw man. Am not an apc perso, so they can field whosoever they want. But I know my brothers from the east will find it so difficult to support the person of tinubu. Take your case study from the online war between the igbos and yorubas here on nairaland. Tinubu being a key figure of yoruba politics is perceived as one of those not allowing the igbos to have political relevance, so the resiatance will be high. Recall I said if the yorubas can go ahead and field a new, liberal and educated person (meaning that personally I have nothing against them), then they will have more acceptability from the south in general. What I set out to explain is that, not that personally am against a yoruba presidency, nope. But the acceptability of the supposed fielded candidate (tinubu in this case)
Re: Prof Awuzie: Why Tinubu’s Billions Can’t Help Him To Be President In 2023 by kayjay69(m): 9:25am On Jun 25, 2019
The seeds of disunity within the South had been sown since pre-independence times when tribalism was introduced into Southern Nigeria politics and ever since then it has basically cascaded downward. It is quite sad that despite the quality of individuals with upstanding character that we have down south, because of the way Nigeria is, we all look to the North for political support rather than look within ourselves. I'll admit a handshake between power brokers of the SW and SS+SE may help put this aside and usher in a new dawn, but that remains to be seen. It is sad and unfortunate.

As for Tinubu, I don't really think you can pin the disunity in the south on him per se. You can pin it on the first generation politicians, the Awolowo's and co more than you may pin it on Tinubu. Tinubu as I see is mostly an opportunist and a pragmatist. He loves winning more than any politician in Nigeria that I know. He will sell his own soul if it means him accessing power. And so essentially all that you have seen him do, in his own eyes, is merely the easiest means to ensure that he seats at the top of the table. Is that what all politicians do? Yes. Is it right? It depends on who you ask. For me, I'd say I think it's about time we tried something different. But I am not a power broker, I am just a man.

My views are and continue to remain the same. The Southern Part of Nigeria, for all of our problems and differences are by and large different in our way of life and our way of reasoning from the Northern part of Nigeria. On the basis of this and even much more that I'd rather not go into, the leaders of the SW should be reaching out to those in the SS and SE (or vice versa really putting history and pride aside) to try to bridge the gap and bring the people of Southern Nigeria together in order to either restructure Nigeria to have stronger regions or split it. We will not be great under this current arrangement, it is not a curse, it is the truth. This is not a slight at Northern Nigerians, I have nothing against them. I do believe they will also do well on their own but I don't think we all will do well under this current arrangement.

Quorax:
Bless you. Whatever the south suffer today due to disunity is caused by Tinubu. Sadly, I will admit I fell for the media machine and supported Buhari in 2015 but now I am wiser.

One thing about me is, I hardly forgive when I feel used and deceived, hence my current disdain towards Tinubu.


One thing is obvious, the chances of the South Winning that seat has been reduced. Anyway you swing it, the North will always win, which is my joy. At least this will teach the South a bitter lesson never to backbite her people.

It was tougher for Buhari to win his second term than it was in 2015. This means Tinubu will suffer even greater hardship in clinching that seat if it comes to that.

I personally don't even feel the current set of Igbo leaders have what it takes to rule this country effectively, except Peter Obi or Soludo.


Yes, I support restructuring and the current political weather will be a good catalyst by the time the South sees they are not getting the seat. Any how you swing it, they will win.

Cos when APC will want to field in SW, PDP will pick a Northerner, when APC decides to pick a Northerner, PDP will have not choice than to field in a Northerner to keep the seat... Either way, it's a win to North and a loss for South, all thanks to Tinubu.

Oga, the disunity in southern Nigeria started in 2015 when West decided to vote for a northerner against their southern brother.

Mind you, in 1999, even southwest didn't give OBJ full support compared to the support he received from South
east
Mr Analyst....
The Disunity started in the first republic when Nnamdi Azikiwe chose to form a government with Sardauna’s NPC instead of the Western Action Group.This is inspite of the brazen hatred Ahmadu Bello had for the Ibos. The video of his public display of hatred for ibos is on YouTube for you to relish.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6coimsqIyw.

Same in 1979 when Ziks NNP has a subtle alliance with Shehu Shagaris NPN, leaving Awos UPN in the lurch.

We had another repeat in 1993 when the Ibos voted for Bashir Tofa, a Hausa man. Someone so unpopular he lost to MKO in Kano, his home state. You people tried all your best to dash Hope 93 turning their backs to SDP just because Abiola is a Yoruba man.

Fast forward to 1999, the Yorubas were given the Presidency on a blank cheque. We decided amongst ourselves that we wanted Falae but your tribesman made sure they dashed our plans by voting the one man Yorubas hate to associate with, Obasanjo.

Now you want our submission.
You want us to follow you while you lead the SOUTH.


Just know one thing, there is nothing like Southern Unity. The APC won senatorial elections in Edo, Delta, and I think Bayelsa just 4 months ago. Same as in Abia and Imo.

My man, kindly save us all these Southern Unity bull shit.

It’s all Man for himself.

The South South and the South East will vote for a pdp candidate which will surely be a northener. I'm also totally sure the abok!s up north can never vote your Lord and saviour Tinubu or whoever emerge from your region against one of their own. You lots think you have hatched your plan intact but no problem 2023 will be here soon and you will taught a political lesson
the lesson that was taught in 2015 or the lesson that was taught in 2019? What a joke grin grin
