You guys and igbochief001 can go to hell if you don't wanna contest.
After all it's on the record Igbos has never contest in a Major political party before since 1959. (apart from Zik).

You can't face the North and You can't face the West.
Stay at home if you don't wanna contest.
Which West?

The one with zero bloc votes.

APC wins SW = 200k

PDP wins Anambra = 500k

Hiding under Northern bloc votes doesn't make the SW political heavyweight.

2023 when Umahi runs on APC ticket, make sure your decamp to test your might against Ndi Igbo

The candidate the majority of the party wants will be elected and not necessarily from the region it is zoned to.Tinubu only has control on some of the SW delegates(Ekiti not even included)

BTW I dont even see zoning work.The contest will eventually be thrown to all.


guess you're from Southeast, political empiricist everywhere


Tinubu had allies outside of Southwest than any politicians in Nigeria even though the thief won't be Nigeria president but educate yourself

IamAtikulate:

Tinubu made the proposal after 2011 election but CPC turned it down.

Negotiations made headways when ANPP joined. It was the second largest opposition party in the North.

PDP was in firm control of the country until NPDP left. If they didn't, na waste of time for APC.

Despite taking almost the North and entire SW, PDP lost with 3 million votes.

NPDP made Buhari president. No ACN who even supported Atiku.

SW still voted for Atiku in 2019. He only lost SW to APC despite SW having the VP with 200k.


In the history of Elections of Nigeria.
South West has never gave any party 80% of her votes if it's not a Yoruba man.

The highest is 70%.
Once it's not a Yoruba man just know it will roughly be divided into two, so what are you saying

In 1999 despite having Two Yorubas, why didn't they divided the votes into two?

Lol, you don't understand SW politics Ogbeni.
Because we're having VP doesn't mean we should give him all our votes.

It's always 60 / 40 or 55 / 45 if it's not a Yoruba presidential candidates.

BTW, SW has never hide under northern candidates.
How many Igbos has contested in a major party presidential election apart from Zik?

Or do you want me to name.
Awolowo
Abiola
OBJ
Falae?
Have you forgotten SW Boycotted 1964 elections, yet you guys went ahead to vote.

No Southern as ever hide behind The North like Igbos.
Yet you'll be preaching betrayers, cowards and southern unity when you're the worst.

You're the betrayers, you're the cowards and you don't even have southern unity at heart.

I still remember 1 million march for abacha.

Even recently, an Igbo man from Rivers wanna organise another 1 million march for Buhari.

To be zoned to South means all southerners (SW, SS, SE) should contest and any southern that emerge should be given support.

why BEGGING to be zone to SE, if you can win primaries with SW and SS contesting?

What's democracy when you're telling one region has no business in contesting in 2023?

What's democracy when the region with the highest number of votes shouldn't attain the seats as many times as possible?

Abiola relied on Northern votes to win and his hatred for Igbos cost him his presidency.

It will be enforced and a southerner will fly the party’s ticket. In 2015 when the ticket was zoned to the north, Okorocha from the south was allowed to contest but at the end of the day, a northerner emerged.

Apart from the nonsense that PDP did in 2015 by printing only one presidential nomination form for Jonathan and illegally denying others the right to contest for the ticket, zoning has never been used to stop others from contesting. They would contest but the candidate would still emerge from the region the ticket is zoned to.


You really understand the politics. those who contested knowing that the party has zone the ticket to a particular region get the benefit of being front runners in the government after they lose out as they will be compensated with juicy post to recoup their loss. they didn't contest for people sake ooo. na the game.

I remember Goodluck won Atiku in the 2011 primaries to become the candidate. I also remember OBJ won in addition to Ekwueme, Abubakar Rimi from the North amongst others to emerge candidate in 1999 and 2003. If the SW and SS can defeat northerners and non northerners of different zones to emerge candidates, then surely the SE can defeat their opponents in the primary to emerge flag bearer. It all depends on how well you play your card. You don’t expect the ticket to be zoned to the SE and then you go to sleep. Even our politicians from the SE know that it is not so. The call for the presidency to be zoned to the SE to me is like an awareness to other regions that it is time for the igbos to be considered. Now what is left for them is to reach out to others and negotiate for it. Simple!

In 1999, Tinubu was an emerging Yoruba leader. He supported Falae against OBJ and again, there was this question on OBJ paternity.

Today, Tinubu has lost some of the magic. In SW most of the dissident votes are to spite Tinubu.

Dont get me wrong, Yorubas give bloc votes but SW don't - non indigenes and anti-Tinubu elements tend to split their votes.

There are close to 35% non indigenes in SW. This explains why their votes is always 40-60 or slight variations.

There is nothing new or special in the statement.

In 1999, Abubakar Rimi was contesting the PDP primaries but he later backed out when he saw the body language of the party's stakeholders.
In 2003, both Rimi and Gemade contested the PDP primaries but they lost.
In 2007, Rochas Okorocha came second after Yar'Adua in the PDP primaries

In 2011, Atiku Abubakar was chosen as the 'North's consesus candidate' to slug it out with GEJ but he lost.


In the 2014 APC primaries, Gov Rochas Okorocha contested the APC primaries.

Why didn't they give obj over 70% in 1999? Because he was not there choice.

BTW, You can break our bloc vote yet your bloc votes isn't helping you, it's causing harm than good.
Even the northerners don't give bloc votes.

That's why they're taking you for granted.
PDP can give NE / SS or NE / SW as presidential candidate in 2023 because they know they'll always get bloc votes from you.
