The South East geo political zone is on the verge of losing out in the 2023 political calculus if ongoing political development in the country is anything to go by.

This was disclosed by a group, South East Vanguard For Good Governance, in a statement in Owerri and signed by its President, Fred Okenwa and Secretary, John Okolisa.

The group said the two leading political parties in the country, the All Progressive Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will not hand an Igbo its presidential tickets in the 2023 presidential election.

The group stated that this implies that the chances of an Igbo producing Nigeria’s President will be a mirage in 2023, as the two major political parties in the country will zone its presidential tickets to the North and South West respectively.

“The APC has shown clearly that it will not allow an Igbo to fly its Presidential ticket in 2023. The ongoing battle in the party is all about 2023 and Igbos are not in contention. “It is evidently clear that South East have no stake in the APC. The presidential ticket of the APC will dangle between the South West and the North.

“Already, Bola Tinubu, has not hidden his desire to contest for the presidential ticket of the party using the APC platform and all calculations point to the fact that he is well rooted in the party. Which Igbo man is grounded in the APC, to challenge Tinubu for the party’s presidential ticket when the chips are down?

“The APC is not grounded in the South East unlike in the South West where the entire zone is in the grip of the APC. Already, the odds are against the South East in the ruling party. We have never voted for the broom party since 2015.So, how would they concede its Presidential ticket to a zone which never voted for it in the last two general elections.

The Forum further stated that the PDP will not zone its Presidential ticket to the South East geo political zone.

Part of the statement reads “There are clearer indications that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, may pick the PDP presidential ticket again in 2023.

“If this happens, where does this leave the South East zone. As usual, we will play the second fiddle by either producing a running mate to one of the presidential candidates, possibly the PDP. If the Presidential ticket of the APC goes to the South West, certainly the South East cannot produce a running mate” the group stated

Lolsss

If the South East put forward a credible candidate than Jaguda Bullion Van, they might have chance in APC primaries, but they'll have to start positioning now.

Ohaneze Ndigbo, a branch of PDP, are in the payroll of Atiku. He has bought off Igbo leaders till 2023 at the earliest.

Every blogger wan have opinion....

All this Yoruba groups with igbos names ...

Even the write up dry....

If APC will not give its ticket to the south east what stops the PDP from giving it to the soth east afterall this is the party they have been supporting? On the issue he has never come out to declare his intention contrary to what you wrote. To me the man will not contest but will rather sponsor someone.

mtcheeewwww.
The first of many Igbo threads today.
Alhamdulilah

Both Moral and political calculation, APC will not zone their ticket to SE. 2015/2019 have shown SE will never vote APC Even if their son is on the ballot paper.
It's left for PDP to pay back the SE with the 2023 ticket.

I think he'd have to be stupid to contest, and he hasn't shown he's that stupid. He's more a king maker than king.

Hahahahaha

Okay , let's say Apc's case in this matter is understandable.

How about Pdp, SE have been voting for Pdp for the past 21 years.. Me I thought people only sow where they can reap...

Which Islamic party are you accusing this Yoruba buda of contesting under, you who's people get shame but no sense nor eyes?

Definitely you are far From the truth
How can Igbo reffer to APC as Islamic party in the east just to cunning people in 2015 and 2019 and same Igbo still want to use the same party to contest for presidential election in 2023. Get little sense

Not all Igbos could possibly have referred to APC as an Islamic Party. Those with a brain would have noted the position of a certain Pastor. And even those who might have referred to APC as an Islamic Party would have said whatever was expedient to "cunning people" and would flipflop on a dime to "cunning people" all over again!

Please get plenty sense. You need much more than a little!

Biafra we want

Use your sense even if it's 20 second in a day.
I was in the east during the 2015 election. Ekwunife and other PDP members, this was their campaign slogan, from market to market. They used that to demarket Ngige,whom could have become the senate President in 2015.
Make use of your sense
If it was not all Igbos, APC wouldn't have scored less than 5% on 2 occasions in the east.
Go and duely as PDP for their presidential ticket. As for APC, that is a forgotten issue

I am very certain the Igbos will go wherever suits them and say whatever they think gets them the votes. However, they haven't done anything to get the post in either party in 2023, as I already alluded to and which you'd have understood if you used your sense.

"Jagaban would have to be stupid" is not an insult. The inference is that he isn't that stupid.

Perhaps you should learn to read and understand.

igbos don't want "zoo" presidency, they want biafra

It will me an embarrassment for Ibos if Pdp overlook that zone for the 2023 Presidential ticket

How can Pdp justify such clear case of injustice and how can ibo leaders explain such treatment to their people ?

@ bolded like UAE?

That group was created on social media with Igbo names by pro-Thiefnuubu yoropiggies.

I can swear on it. It's not different from the propaganda narratives of the NL yoropiggs. We are not all fo0ls.

UAE do not Sow on desert or rocks but take deserts and rocks to sow on Human and Infrastructure developments where they reap.

Be sincere to yourself, you think APC or PDP will give Igbos their Presidential ticket.
Oga wake up, no political party will give an Igbo man its ticket come 2023.

Maybe APGA, UPN, Accord or other feather weight party would give them tho in order to make them feel among.

Giving an Igbo person Presidential ticket is a big risk and no party would want to take that risk because it will definitely kill such party's relevance.

It is in your interest that the Igbos take their turn, so it can get to you. If you are not a cantankerous fo0l you'll know this. If the East doesn't take it's turn, you yorubas won't also have it. It's simple. Zoning means turn by turn, and you have your turn and will be made to wait as long as it takes. You don't have a choice, do you?

Be sincere to yourself, you think yorubas will be allowed by the SE, SS and North to rule this country again after you were dashed the ticket in 1999 and greedily want to corner it again?

Your important yoruba leaders are being kicked around left, right and centre as we speak, they are being cut to size. Both thiefuubu and osinbade are now shouting 'We no want presidency o, I no dey interested o. I no follow, Make una leave us o.' Their asszes are on fire. Lol.

Reminds of the torture instrument I hear they use in SARS holding cells, they call it 'talk true".
Abokkis are using it castrate your politicians and scaring them away from 2023, while the rest of the South have their last laugh against your foolery. Nobody will defend you because you are greedy. Every other southerner despises your greed from Edo to the Easternmost Calabar.

Come and take the presidency, let see. Laughable yorropiggies! You think you wiser than everyone.
