Saying people presenting osibanjo that failed to win his polling unit and tinubu that had to rig to win both osun and Lagos

Give kalu half the billions given to tinubu he would deliver south east

we re talking about delivering region this one is talking about polling booth
Kalu should start his APC journey from state level then, he can be taken serious .

fergie001:

The SW wanted Falae, the military oligarchy wanted OBJ...
OBJ is Yoruba.....

One thing was common....they wanted to assuage the SW for June 12 & MKO's death.

this scenario doesnt play out in 2023.
Cos APC have no reason or whatsoever to pick Igbo as candidate cos the south east region have rejectly them twice on ballot.

kingzizzy:


Yes, most Northerners and those in the South west are not comfortable with an Igbo man being President of Nigeria

Wasnt it Tunde Ednut who said the same recently?

In a democracy, you then want to impose yourselves on the clear majority by force, against their wishes, and you think it's possible even with invisible political muscle.

Good luck.

kingzizzy:
PDP fielding an Igbo man for Presidency is what Tinubu, APC and the South West are praying for so that they can unite with friends up in the North in their hatred of Igbos and ensure APC wins



The best bet for PDP is to field Atiku/Obi again in 2023. No 2 position is better than no position

What if APC finally decides to give Igbo their ticket? Will you guy vote for APC or your darling Atiku in APC?

HundredWays:
if u think APC can't win North-East comes 2023, u are daydreaming..

I didn't say APC can't win NE.I said Tinubu can't win North

Igbochief001:

Lol which of the yorubas ? Fami kayode or tinubu or osibanjo ? ...u can't even get your regional APC under one room for 30 min without fighting and u want to talk about wining

Igbo nation likes blaming others for self inflicted political misfortunes. Zik of Africa formed alliance with hausa-fulani in the first republic, they blamed Yoruba for it.
Late chief Clifford Ojukwu orchestrated and sponsored the first coup de tat but they blamed Yorubas for it.
Late Col. Ojukwu decided to complete his father's ambition but failed by abandoning the ship. Instead of them to ask their sons how they shared food meant for civilians amongst themselves in the barracks, they blamed the entire Yoruba nation for it.
Sir Alex Ekwueme lost presidential slot due to the activities of his ibo brothers that worked against him, they chose to blame the Yorubas.
They refused to warm Jonathan about calling Yoruba leaders rascals, when the Yoruba leaders showed political rascality, they called Yorubas names.
They chose to play second fiddle to Atiku and lost but we're happy to blame Afonjas for it.
Another misfortune is coming due to their ego, miscalculation and disunity. Instead of igbo nation to present one of their sons as a presidential candidate, they will rather atikulate a Fulani man like the late Zik but, after failure will turn around and pass the buck to Yorubas.
All these self inflicted political woes have not made them come together to present a common front, instead, it is egocentric, " Osuism" , the fear of Anambra people and superiority tendencies that make igbo nation to lag behind but, they always claim they are political gurus
Imagine a governor of ibo extraction having a secret pack with security agents to kidnap igbo youths and exterminate them at night because of being IPOB members. The truth is that Ibos are the enemies of themselves. Insults and derogatory words are welcome.

EcoBrick:


Igbos in the PDP are sleepwalking to 2023. I have put my ears to the ground but I have heard nothing. Tepid murmurs. Shuffling of feet. Nothing else, besides snores. Where are the Igbos in the PDP? This is not a good time to be asleep. And not another season for ‘Atikulation’.

Igbos have served the PDP faithfully. 2023 should be payback time. The PDP should stand boldly for Igbo presidency. Or be labelled a traitor, a user, an exploiter.

But I have put my ears to the ground and, I have heard nothing. Besides Atiku revving his coming and going molue. And Wike weighing Tambuwal for faithfulness. The PDP in Igbo land has been too quiet. Nobody is singing 2023 hymns in that church.

Where is the Ohaneze? The last time, they broke a taboo, and pitched their tent with the PDP.

The calculation was that if he won he would surrender to the idea that 2023 belonged to the Igbo presidency project. It’s easier now, isnt it ? They can’t be picking their noses now.

Where are those who signed the midnight MOU? This is the time to do the politicking. A bird in hand could be worth three in the bush of self-determination. That morbid infatuation with the physiognomy of the president won’t better the lives of ordinary Igbo traders in Kano or Alaba.

It won’t help the man in Ogbete market shore up his sagging sense of belonging.

The PDP has fed fat on Igbo votes. It would be treacherous for the PDP to sit astride while others initiate the campaign for Igbo presidency. Where are the Igbos in the PDP? Atiku has been left to seize the party by the scruff of the neck?

Is he still coming? What is Peter Obi waiting for? Is he waiting to be a running mate again? Mbanu! Where is Abaribe? And Osita Chidoka.

The Igbos in the PDP should find their balls, or borrow some if they have none, and speak up.

My people say if you are afraid to speak to power then cover your head with a basket, yell and run.

Let them speak, and hide if they must.

I will keep reminding them. Their silence is deafening. Their silence is ominous. We cant spend an age crying marginalization and when our turn comes we chicken away. Let’s remind them whether they hear or not.

Because our ancestors said we should greet the deaf not because they will hear us, but so that the gods can bear us witness that we bear no malice against the deaf.

Igbos in PDP, wake up! As we say it in Igbo land, this is no time for ‘sleepingmuruanya’

I hear the emperor in Port Harcourt is plotting something. He wants power to help detain power in the Northwest till 2031. That is sacrilegious. Isn’t it? What happened to the Igbo presidency project? Has he heard of it?

Why can’t he embrace Igbo presidency with some ‘workaholism’. That latter-day messiah of the South. The one who can do no wrong; the one that has the interests of the Igbo at heart. Is he going to opt for shortsightedness now? The 2023 Igbo presidency project needs flyovers! Mr Projects, this is the real project. Is he going to be a chameleon?

Why won’t the emperor support Peter Obi in 2023? He is not Igbo? The 2023 Igbo presidency project is not his business? Because he wants to occupy one small position, he is willing to negotiate away 2023 Igbo presidency?

The problem with these people is that they talk too much. So sometimes they make us overrate them. When these folks talk about Peter Obi and Okonjo Iweala, you would think they are serious. The PDP brandishes Peter Obi and Okonjo Iweala, like Christmas clothes. Now 2023 is the turn of the Igbos, the PDP isn’t enthusiastic about fielding them.

Why?

Why can’t the PDP reciprocate the love Igbos have shown it and field Peter Obi? Or present Okonjo Iweala. No, they won’t. The PDP thinks that fielding an Igbo man will be a political mistake. So when would it be politically astute for the PDP to field an Igbo man?

In 2083? Yet tomorrow, the leaders of the people would fill our ears with lamentations, innuendoes and insinuations, about Hausa Fulani Hegemony.

You won’t hear from Abaribe speak about Igbo presidency, his party and 2023. Mba… you won’t. Because there is no Buhari to insult in this matter. Why can’t Abaribe summon the courage, his usual courage, and tell the PDP that 2023 is the turn of the Igbos and that it is non-negotiable?

Abaribe is the most senior elected official in the PDP. Abaribe is bold. So Abaribe should not cower when any governor says that fielding an Igbo presidential candidate in 2023 would be a mistake. By the way, why isn’t Abaribe running? Who is marginalizing him?

Imagine for a moment that it was the duty of the federal government to allocate presidential party tickets of the two main parties. Let me call their names now. Wike, Abaribe, Peter Obi and company would be on top of the voices screaming marginalization if anyone tried giving out the PDP ticket to anyone in the north in 2023.

are u now buttressing the point that any party that field Igbo has lost b4 d election?

Hmmm, i think so

AtikuNetwork:
This is an attempt to sow seeds of division in PDP and igbos should be careful not to fall for it. Atiku is what Nigeria needs. Igbos will be compensated for their loyalty at the appropriate time. We must think Nigeria first. Tribalism will not move us forward in this country.

Yes he will force them to vote buhari whom they hate since 1999.Buhari took okadigbo as vice they rejected him twice so na kalu go deliver SE.Why do you think buhari called them 5% that was unable to stop him. Tinubu delivered all the SW hence wailers even blame us calling us afonja for bringing buhari on them.

Well, keeping one cards close to the chest and let competitors second guess one's move, can be a profitable venture.

2023 will be the most interesting time of all and the only time I've decided I won't vote!!

If PDP refuse to field an Igbo man or woman as its presidential candidate not vice , then they should forget about bloc vote from Igbo territory..

Oga you lie.. I'm Igbo, I supported Atiku at the last general election.. But you see, 2023 should be payback time to Ndigbo..

If PDP fail to field an Igbo man or woman as its presidential candidate at 2023 l, they should forget it..

Some comments here are terribly funny, is it as a result of the "likes" button or what?

I don't just understand.

Oga Sir.. You should support the movement.. Igbo presidency or nothing for PDP..

helinues:


You guys need to be realistic instead of being optimistic... Kalu can not win ordinary primary election in Southern region not to talk of North..

Who will impose a known ex convict?

My brother tell them ooo...sometimes I get weakened by most comments here and conclude that these people know little about politics.

As in WHO REALLY IS OUK IN APC? .....�����....he was nobody in the party before he went to prison and his identity became worse after going to prison.

So Igbos should fold their arms again and vote for your lord. You are m*d my brother and you know it�

Brooklynsouth:
all I see are ewedu eating creatures who are pretending to love Igbos while it's for there own interest lol see Yoruba telling Igbos what to do , since when ? so you want to use your Muslim advantage to appeal to the core northerners to vote base on religion ...for now igbo interest will be served under a northern candidate, a liberal at that politics is all about interest and not sentiment.if Yoruba want to protect our interest let them project for all igbo affair just like we did in 1999 .Yoruba we are not fools instead Yoruba to be president by crook using this PDP should give Igbos ticket while APC Yoruba ,you damn stup*d to think like an*mal .usel**ss imb*ciles

See a typical Igbo man...they are ruled by emotions rather than rational thinking. Go and check the writer of the article again, if he’s not your brother from the land of the rising sun. You better stop this hatred for Yorubas cos it won’t stop Yorubas from progressing.

Lol...I like your unfortunate submission up there you know. But wait, let us analyze why Igbos don’t have friends up north. The question is do Igbos even have friends anywhere? Igbos fight everyone and even themselves, they claim to be predominantly Christians but the kind of bitterness and hatred they habour are incomparable. Winners build bridges and form alliances while losers beat chest.

Deborah98:
Is it not better we have our own political party since everything in Nigeria is dominated by a particular sect of people....

Having your own political party is not as important as forming alliances and building bridges, now that’s something that is alien to Igbos.

Misterdhee1:

The bolded is one reason why many have issues with an igbo man leading. How is Peter Obi more qualified than any Nigerian alive? On what metrics?

Leave him, you know they are naturally delusional. Peter Obi, a pathological liar, is the most qualified Nigerian alive, so says his brother�...we shall see how qualified he is in 2023.

Igbochief001:
I don't even understand people ooh

Who told them south east is not guning for the PDP ticket ?

The silence from igbos is unsettling to most yorubas ...osibanjo and tinubu are still scared to declare interest

Politics is not by mouth ...when they start selling form una go see

Igbos are getting APC and PDP ticket

Apc is sure already ... PDP we just need to ask atiku to relax ....it's not easy but if he refuse we beat him at the polls

I swear with my genitals. PDP and APC will not fill Igbo candidate.
Igbo doesn't have confidence to contest a thing that reeks on your above comment.

Igbo vs South South na fear for Igbo

Igbo vs Hausa or Fulani or Northerners na still fear for Igbo.

Igbo vs Yoruba the bigger fear.

I will not be happy to contest against Igbo because I have 100% assurance of winning but I will rather contest against Hausa where you will be elated when you are victorious.

Igbo cannot defeat any tribe in an election in Nigeria and they already knew

. John mayaki, Are you Igbo?
how come you are good with the igbo language?

kcnwaigbo:

How exactly did Shagari manage to defeat owolowo with an Igbo VP barely 9 years after the war ended??

Lol....oh my God, you people know nothing about history. Ekwueme was picked as a VP just to fulfill all righteousness not because he had any political credit beyond SE. Go and ask around or even research it yourself, the election was outrightly between AWOLOWO AND THE NORTHERN CABALS, infact Shagari was not even a factor in his own election in 1979.....same thing in 1983, 1993...the northern cabals were however defeated at the polls by Abiola but they had their way in the end. Let me tell you Igbos have never been a factor in Nigerian politics since the end of the war, it is unfortunate I agree. But I think Igbos have contributed to that a lot too, and Igbos do not know that their real enemies are the northerners yet they serve PDP. Although, the fact is that the Northern cabals have no friends in Igbo or Yoruba, they just use any, but Yorubas know this and have learned to outsmart them sometimes, this is painful but true. The best way to deal with the northern cabals especially in this democratic dispensation is for the south to unite, drag North central who are predominantly Christians with them and then teach the northern hegemony a bitter lesson. But Yorubas and Igbo leaders are too foolish to put their differences aside and work for a common goal. As for me ehn, I am from SW, I wouldn’t mind Yorubas supporting a qualified Igbo candidate in 2023, as a way to unify the south, cos the only way the north will have it in 2023 is due to the lack of unity in the south.

flyingpig:
odimma na, I'll keep on campaigning for PDP to zone their ticket to SE on the grounds of 21years total loyalty, and having Buhari already do an 8years tenure for North.

While I'll also keep pushing all OUK Northern alliances towards front page. We need the two.

If the reason you’re supporting OUK is because you’re being paid, then it’s fine. But if you’re not being paid , then you’re an enemy of the good of this country. You are pushing for a thief, robber of destiny to become the President of Nigeria. May God judge you. Infact people of Abia state will stone you to death for this

loopman:


He governed tiny Anambra and turned the state into Catholic vs Protestant state. He ensured he used the tribalism card to deny Ngige a return to the senate.
He governed a monolithic state where 99% are his fellow Ibos.

So according to his fellow Ibos, he is the most qualified person to rule Nigeria

Truth is after Nnamdi Kanu. Peter Obi is the most unelectable ibo candidate for a national post

Atiku lost partly due to the Peter Obi factor

Clowns

Thank you my man. Also, he is an unrepentant liar, second only to Donald Trump. Peter Obi will lie without blinking.

Igbochief001:

No body hated buhari ...we only had better option

OK but your people always come here on naira land even twitter and fb to curse buhari calling him cows gworo chewing vagabon,terrorist, slowpoke e.t.c even cursing and wishing doom on people who voted him .its true they don't hate buhari

kingzizzy:


So you dont know that Bukola Saraki was holding British/ Nigerian citizenship when he was Governor and Senate President?

The problem with you people is ignorance.

Bukola was born in England so he was born with British citizenship, he had no choice in the matter, he did not voluntarily acquire citizenship of another country, he did not swear allegiance to Britain. Ngozi deliberately chose to become an American citizen and in doing so she swore allegiance to America. It is part of the process.

It is there in sections 66,107,137 and 182 of the constitution.


Section 66 provides for disqualification from seeking election into the National Assembly (House of Representatives and Senate); Section 107 provides for similar situations in for the House of Assembly; Section 137 provides for the President and Section 182 provides for the Governors. In all cases it is the 1st item in the list of things that disqualify a candidate.

For example, Section 107 provide thus:

(1) No person shall be qualified for election to a House of Assembly if –

(a). Subject to the provisions of Section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, has made a declaration of allegiance to such a country;

The process for voloutary acquisition of US citizenship requires swearing of allegiance.

The difference between Saraki and Ngozi is the word “voluntary”.

She cant even become a minister again according to section 144. (5) which states

"No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified for election as a member of the House of Representatives."

Basically, you people are carrying fight for someone who has turned her back on Nigeria.....Quite frankly, i dont blame her.
