Leave APC before it’s too late – Bamgbose tells Igbo presidential aspirantsPublished on February 28, 2021By John Owen Nwachukwu

Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq, National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has told South East politicians aspiring to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 to stop wasting their time.

He advised them to start defecting to other political parties before it is too late, insisting that there is no hope for people of Igbo extraction aspiring to become President on the All Progressives Congress, APC, platform.

He said that with the recent arrest and detention of former Governor of Imo State, it is becoming very clear that any aspirant of Igbo extraction in APC, hoping to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari, is wasting his time. It’s a dream that can’t be realized.

“There is virtually no hope for any aspirant of Igbo extraction to emerge APC Presidential candidate come 2023,” Bamgbose told DAILY POST during a chat on Sunday.

“Unknown to many that are defecting to APC, the party is a party that has serious reservations for the igbos.”

The frontline legal practitioner noted that when Okorocha, a two time Governor and a sitting Senator was humiliated, no APC politician of repute condemned the act by Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.

“One would have expected the APC caucus to caution the Imo State Governor, but the reverse was the case. The truth is that APC believes, with or without the Igbos, they can survive and this is the simple reason why the Igbos are heavily marginalised in APC,” he added.


“One will, therefore, timely advise those Igbo politicians aspiring to take over from Buhari to defect from APC. Orji Uzor Kalu, who is a very promising aspirant should better not waste his time and resources, because APC will certainly deny him the ticket.

“This also applies to Rochas Okorocha and David Umahi. There is no guarantee that APC will zone its ticket to the South East.

“Rochas Okorocha is a founding member of the APC that one would have expected to be treated with dignity and respect, but behold he was humbled and humiliated.

“I’ll strongly advise them to quit APC if truly they have presidential ambitions. Who would have treated Tinubu the way Rochas was treated. That can’t happen because Tinubu is untouchable. Igbos should have a rethink about the APC.

I know, the SW supports criminals as leaders.

Rochas was a criminal for 8 years, robbing pillaging and mocking his people. I understand that the people of that region hates crime.

If Rochas was from the SW, they would have worshipped him more than Tinubu. They will make him the new Asiwaju

all I want is a southern president that will also,give appointments to the south the way Buhari did for his brothers

it can be anyone

Could it be said that Bamgbose and Co have realized that Igbos could give Tinubu a run for his money in clinching the presidential ticket and they now want to use scare tactics to discourage them?

If anyone thinks you're a Northern, that person is the greatest f0.0l

The South must remain one. Whether igbo or Yoruba wins the primaries, we must support him. He must be strong willed too. When he gets there, he must give all appoints to southerners fairly between Igbos, Yorubas and Niger deltans. Let the North have a taste of their own medicine.

Jonathan was just a disappointment. He had the opportunity to unite the south but he failed.

Na good advice ooo... I hope dey'll heed to it

scare tactics

2023 go hot no be small...but anyhow wey e be...may Jah guide and protect us

They should leave and go where? To PDP?

Same PDP who has never ever considered them worthy for even a Vice Presidential position?

Wahala

join me in cubana for a smoke

Where they ought to have grown balls the refused to. They're being treated like A NOBODY in party the laboured for for over two decades. That's modern day slavery

But they want it in a party they mocked from inception, where they have no root.

Wahala for politicians

This country is messed up

If u voted for PDP and Atiku may God punish u too. What happened to APGA or other parties that u guys couldn't vote for, always sticking to one party for more than 16yrs and no viable infrastructure to show.

This is why we from South South are pushing for our ONLY sellable son.

He's dogged, no one can rubbish him

From the look of things, it's obvious APC won't zone the 2023 presidential ticket to the South East.

However, to clear all iota of doubts, it'll be a smart political move (for potential aspirants) to wait for the outcome of the party's convention in June.

much as I detest Nigeria and it's presidency, APC and they represent. this statement smacks of insincerity and hipocricy how can a Yoruba ask igbos which party to stay or leave

Funny enough, in as much as every other region is hating and vehemently trying to frustrate the Igbo Presidency, when it will happen na dem go install an Igbo man as Nigerian president ONCE ITS THE TIME!!!

Every one has its time, says posterity. Let's just watch and see how things unfold in the count down to 2023.

The same format they used in 2014 before 2015 election. Theg have started again so that Igbos can vote in block for them, how is one party different from other, don't be surprised, the same man may defect tj Apc bedlfire the forth coming election.

wahala
