You aren't communicating. However, let me clear you on why an Igbo president is a pipe dream, at least for now.

1. The PDP is interested in returning to power and will most likely hand over its ticket to a Northerner because they desperately need to win. An Igbo president under the PDP is unrealistic as there is no Igbo politician with a national appeal. Heck, not even one that can win an election outside his state, even in the South East.

2. The APC will most likely retain the seat and understands that the best way to do it is to NOT hand its presidential ticket to someone of the Igbo extraction. Why? Because the North will aggressively reject the idea and the APC will lose the North. Plus, the North is still interested, leaving the battle to the North and South West.

3. Voting Strength: The South East is the least influential region, politically, as far as Nigeria is concerned, which is why the PDP had taken the region for a ride for over 16 years. Both parties know they only need a fraction of the South East vote and then look forward to appealing to the SW for the decider. Knowing the South East is weak vote-wise, it would be foolhardy to entrust the ticket to a region with low voting power.

4. National Appeal: While Tinubu has mastered the art of packaging and winning, one thing 'his' politicians all have in common is a sound profile and a decent amount of popularity outside their region. None of your politicians have that.

5. The North: I hate to say this, but the North will never vote an Igbo candidate, no thanks to history. The level of distrust is so huge that any party that announces an Igbo presidential candidate, as far as the North is concerned has set itself up for failure. While the South East warms up to the North, the North look toward the South West for periodic relationships, which is why they are unbothered so long they are in agreement with the Yorubas.

6. Absence of power politicians: You all hate the feeling of a Tinubu in the South East but it is somewhat necessary. The absence of one is why there is no unification in the South East. Rochas is to Imo as Gburugburu is to Enugu. Worse is the fact that these guys don't even wield any power even at home. The North will always rely on the West because of the presence of its unifiers, namely Obasanjo and more importantly BAT. They need his power, his influence and his alliance to succeed in the West and he has transcended to the North with the influence.

7. Burnt Bridges: Not sure I should say anything about this... You already know.

So, my good friend, there is no surprise whatsoever in 2023. The election will be decided the day either party hands the ticket to the South East.

PS: APGA would have had a shot at producing an Igbo president but it is primarily an Anambra party, not even respected outside Anambra.

A wonderful write up. Hmm. Buttt

isthatso:
Instead of ibos shouting presidency, presidency. They should 1st try and gauge the opinion of their friends/colleagues who are from other regions, if they have any that can tell them the truth, afterall these are the people who are going to vote. They wont because igbos dont like hearing bad news, they will either insult you or you will be afraid to tell them the truth to their faces. But if they did, they will realise Nigerians are not voting for ibo president anytime soon.

Did the Yoruba gauge the opinions of the Igbo , Hausa/Fulani, Bini, Ijaw, Biron, Kanuri etc before we dropped the presidency for the Yoruba in 1999?

The only credible candidate I'm seeing here is Moghalu and he is not even doing politics again...
That's the common problems among typical Nigerian politicians, come Dec 2022, he will now running helter and skelter while he is supposed to be doing something active now. Even if it is being a leader on tweeter... Ish.

The problem is not Igbo providing Someone but Workin with the entire region to get a better post....

Neither will the north consider any body from the SW as worthy to succeed PMB.

i don't even understand this thread

Nyesom Wike made it clear to them that SE presidency under PDP in 2023 is a pipe dream.. same thing we are telling them to forget APC cos it's the SW turn after PMB.

We can't labour, while some people calling APC Muslim/ewedu party will come out of nowhere to ask for presidency in that same party.. dem never born them.

They have been contesting under APGA and some other irrelevant parties that refused to grow. If they are not okay with their parties, let them form a Christian/ofe nsala party for themselves. Who cares!

Remove from the list the following names: Rochas Okorocha; the chief scammer, Dr. Ifeanyi Uba; Betrayer, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; Big aunty.

Stop filling the pages for nothing.

You didnt "give" us presidency in 1999, who dash monkey banana? Stop taking credit for what you did not do. Both candidates were from the SW, you had no choice! You did not vote for OUR candidate Falae, you voted for the Ibo candidate which was Obasanjo.

You voted for Obasanjo because the power brokers from the North had already decided the the president will come from the SW. You had no choice in the matter!!!!

Sanchez01:
It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the group is sponsored by one of the nominees. But politics isn't played this way and power won't be dropped on anyone's laps come 2023.



This is the exact same mindset of Ohaneze (youth and adult branch), politicians of the South East and a sizeable amount of the South East people but it is delusional to believe that an automatic pass be granted a particular area because they haven't tried before.

The funniest part of it all is that all of the nominees are featherweight and won't even win elections in their state hands down if they run under the APC. Moghalu looks good to me but he is not sellable even in his own state and region.

The South East is playing the 2023 politics the wrong way. No strategy, no power candidate and none of them is influential to pull a miracle outside of the South East. And then there is the issue of trust the North has towards...

You just come online to write nonsense...

How do you define a heavyweight politician?

The one who deploys bullion vans on election days?

Who was Barack Obama in the mainstream of American politics before he became president?

Coming down to Nigeria, who were Shagari and Yar'Adua before the emerged presidents despite the country being replete with moneybags and so-called political heavyweights?

Politics is a game of nuances...All it takes is for the king makers to decide on a candidate...

There are structures available to hoist an otherwise ordinary candidates to visible pedestal...

TINUBU 2023... All these ones should join the queue

Toronto Certificate man is a heavy weight presidential election in your estimation, but the array of Igbo presidential candidates with proven educational background are paper weight in your estimate.
Tell that to people of intelligent by half like you.

That free education you gave ibos on FP is way more than their own father have ever given them. May the Good Lord bless and enrich you.
Even though you've pointed out their errors, they would still not learn from it cos they are emotional cretins. Maybe by year 3000, I pray nature would have upgraded their genes and we can expect change from them.

If it was the first lady of Abia state that memorized some portion of the Bible would you have made this comment?
Why can't you let Muslim be and practice their religion? Have you ever in your entire life farabale and memorize something?
Memorizing Quran shows one has important virtues like patience, dedication, godly etc.

how about replacing Livingsage with this new one I just spotted

you overtly or covertly work for power to remain in the north after PMB.

That's why I find it funny when you post these horrendous itamutalinous tantamutations similar to what an awesome surreptitious political system can throw up.

No, go check it out

No state is bigger than the entire six Southwest states in land mass.

Niger the biggest = Southwest state-Lagos state,
I hope u get

This table they are shaking this night.....see one leg don commot

Top choice for me:
Peter Obi, Dave Umahi, Ike Ekweremadu.......
Orji Uzor

No SWner can emerge president without support from the SE/SS

There we go again. There is nothing like SE/SS. Rather, there are SW, SE and SS as three distinct zones. Be that it may, please be informed that the SW does not need any vote from the SE to win the 2023 presidential elections - just like Buhari did in 2015.

Moral of the story; stop attaching to the south south by force. They have moved on and left you behind (sebi you see the way Bayelsa state voted during the last governorship elections?). The voting pattern of Rivers state in 2023 will almost kill some people.

Good move, shame to Rotimid Amaethief, the Fulani terr.or!!st' houseboy

No single state in Nigeria is bigger than the SW (Lagos + Ogun + Oyo + Osun + Ondo + Ekiti).

However, Oyo State and many states in the North are bigger than all 5 SE states put together.

Technically you are right but it's marginal for all intents and purpose OYO = entire SE and Niger = entire SW

I know it was discussed recently on nairaland hence I said "I think"
