Igbo Presidency Is A Pipe Dream by Nobody: 5:24am On Aug 29, 2020
Reasons why igbo presidency 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.

I don't really know where Yoruba get the impression that north trusts them more than they trust igbos ...lmao ...u certainly haven't been to the north

north would always prefer to work with igbos first ...it's only after igbos reject that they look towards yorubas

can tinubu win orji kalu in the north ? really does tinubu stand a chance at all ?

if hypocritical how yorubas rush to say igbos insult the north but forgetting no region has insulted north more than tinubu

if buhari can work with tinubu after all the insults tinubu rained on him ...why can't they work with igbos

instead of countering this with reasonable points and better strategy they will definitely resort to insult which is their greatest weapon


Another mistake they are making is that,instead of marketing their own leaders or point man they are busy demarketing others.At least through Igbos hate and propaganda,we have known two notable Yoruba candidate but we haven't heard any from their side

Anyway, you all come up with any analysis that'll help you sleep but the fact is Igbos have only one mission and a plan B in case the mission fails. Our mission is Biafra and our plan B is to make sure no Yoruba person becomes Nigeria president.
