This is how they keep on playing the gullible southerners who offer themselves as their willing stooges.from Awo to Abiola and now Tinubu.

Ctorch:
“There and then some of the clerics that were part of the visit to Lagos were assembled; and Tinubu came with governor Abdullahi Ganduje. “It was one of the clerics, Shehi Shehi who lauded Tinubu for the support he gave Buhari in 2015 which led to his electoral victory. He said we would always appreciate you and return your gesture. “So, it is funny for the media to now report that Ulamas in Kano endorsed Tinubu; some of the Ulamas are not even in support of APC, while some even in APC have their solidarity for others.

Very interesting statement.

While a promise by some of the Kano clerics to reciprocate Tinubu's gesture of support for PMB in 2023 is NOT an endorsement, It is the closest thing to it.

Always read beyond the headlines .

godforus:
who's the governor next to him

Gov. Bagudo of Kebbi State.

Welcome Umahi to the winning party.

Very useful man I tell you. You have made Ndigbo proud.

Even with their mouths covered, this picture speaks a thousand words...

abduljabbar4:
Bitterness has eaten too much out of you. You guys thought Zulum was against PMB that's why you guys started celebrating him.

The bitter truth is that Boko Haram of 2015-2020 cannot be compared with the Boko Haram of 202-2015 under Jonathan's clueless leadership. Bombings used to occur almost every week and across all the states in northern Nigeria. In fact, there was a time when almost 50 blasts happened in just one day and in one state (kano).

The kidnappings and banditry is where Buhari has failed but I would pick it over what used to happen in the past. Indeed, we do not miss GEJ. Get over it

Very well said.

GEJ was too clueless and incompetent in security issues for the North to forget.

They have forgotten things were so bad the ineffectual dullard had to postpone the general elections by 6 weeks because of Boko Haram.

Zulum remains a Governor par excellence and he spoke nothing but the truth.

Dream on.

Blind man trying to offer sharp sighted men the gift of sight.

The time you're wasting trying to twist narratives will be better spent rebuilding the political bridges with the North & rest of the country foolishly destroyed by kanu/ipob & their igbo supporters.

It is worth it, trust me.

BastardWike:
On what ground will the North or Fulani support them when they've been in the presidency even more than the Fulanis since 1999?!

The North will support the SW on the very solid grounds that the other alternative are the ipob supporting, gutter mouthed, hatred and bigotry filled Northern /Fulani antagonists.

In addition to the fact that the SW is the only southern region that supported the North and its Fulani candidate in the last election.

It is easier for Shekau to be British PM than for the SE to lead Nigeria in 2023.

BastardWike:
Whoever must come to equity must come with clean hands.

If the Yorubas truly want to be fair and preempt the Fulanis, then they should rise above pettiness and selfishness. Common sense should tell them that 2023 should be the turn of Igbos. How would they want to rule again in 2023 when OBJ had 8 years and Osinbajo would have had another 8 years by 2023?? Does it even make sense when the Igbos haven't even been in the presidency since 1999??
SMH!

Common sense should have told the igbos that if they knew they had plans of seeking the votes of Nigerians to rule them in 2023, they should have comported themselves and waited patiently & quietly for their "turn" instead of acting like sore losers trying to bring down the house because their candidate was defeated in 2015.

How would they want to rule when they have spent the last 5 years insulting and attacking other Nigerians and spreading extreme hatred online and through Radio Biafra, particularly against the two biggest ethnic groups with the largest voting populations. How do they expect to suddenly earn their "ewedu afonja & almajiri supporter of APC" votes and support in 2023? Do they lack common sense??

He who comes to equity must come with clean hands (and mouth). If you people continue to fail to understand the rudiments of politics I hope you don't transfer the disastrous, undiplomatic, tactless trait to your next generation.

The only southern Presidency in 2023 is the SW.

gidgiddy:
Have you got any idea who beheaded 44 farmers in Borno 2 days ago?

IPOB terrorists disguising as BH.

Bkayyy:
As funny as it is. If Ipob were responsible for the bombing and claimed it, they would have been treated as heroes and gained more supporters from "Biafra".
This is how desperate most "Biafrans" have become

Why sounding so scared?

IPOB are responsible for the bombing & everyone knows it except the cowardly ipobs denying their handiwork like frightened little girls.

I wonder why people find it hard to believe that most northerners want a power shift to the south in 2023, even though the political reason is very obvious.

IPOB bombers, Boko Haram, Bandits & all other terrorist groups in the country are all valid targets. The deadly scum should be totally wiped off the face of the earth.

Our military needs to wake up.

ZZ22:
IPOB is responsible for killing thousands of northerners. They will kill more, rape your teenage girls, behead the boys, burn your mud houses and make your life a living hell. All security agencies should focus on IPOB and not bother themselves with peaceful Boko Haram and Bandits

IPOB & the remaining blood sucking terrorists are all valid targets.

Kidnappings. Cultism. Boko Haram. IPOB. Bandits.

The insecurity all over the country needs a totally fresh solution and President Buhari needs to wake the hell up or more shockers await him.

Coldie:
Igbos don't really want to break Nigeria, u and I know this, neither do we want restructuring.

All that is just a rallying cry for presidency.

I agree that the strategy back fires, but take it from me no igbo man really wants Nigeria to break, the only reason why the first attempt to breakup happened was because of the circumstances surrounding the second coup.

Igbos are too wise to go and start bombing the little assets in our region, we are too wise to start killing our own people, the insult thing is just the normal thing that happens to someone who is angry and frustrated with u and know he can't do anything to u.

There's a saying sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Igbos are very passionate about Nigeria dont let words deceive u

All this self praise is not what will endear igbos to other Nigerians and secure their votes.

When the SW were angry and frustrated over Mko, why didn't they go on a hate campaign?

When will you realise your strategy isn't working? Only a mad man does the exact same thing over and over again expecting a difference.

Words don't break bones? Lol. Tell that to the dozens of ipob youths that have lost their lives in the course of following Kanu's instructions. Tell that to the northerners & security agents killed by ipob members in Oyigbo. Tell that to the millions of Nigerians across the country that will not vote an Igbo due to IPOBs senseless campaign of extreme hatred, bigotry and propaganda.

Coldie:
Every body has a struggle and their way of doing it.

The SE instead of starting a violent campaign just like Niger delta militants did or Boko Haram is doing right now, they took it online and tried there best to make it peaceful, instead of shooting guns they shoot insults, instead of kidnapping people as part of the struggle they attack the person's social media handle, instead of raidind and burning villages they hold a seat at home.

To me that's the best form of struggle anybody can engage in, it's far better than killing people.

The fact that we choose not to kill and mail and bomb people like others, shouldn't that be enough reason to at least support these people who have been in a struggle for years yet refused to drag Nigeria to violence.

Do u know what will happen if a war is going on in the north east and one erupts in the south east?

What will happen to Nigerias image and struggle?

We must not all always wait for people to take up arms before we do the right thing

Unfortunately that strategy is clearly weak, ineffective & self defeating since not only does it take you as far as possible from achieving secession, it also horribly destroys Ndigbos political capital and their ability to attain the Presidency which is one of the core reasons for the agitation as your earlier admitted.

Very weak, ineffective & self defeating way to execute a struggle.

Coldie:
1999 was sure southeast slot, based on the fact that during the military time SW ruled,

But to pacify southwest based on mko abiola they went and brought obasanjo out of nowhere and gave him president.

They can pacify southwest and everybody allows but lets pacify southeast all hell wants to let loose

There is a fundamental issue you're missing in your laborious attempts to compare the SW 1999 political situation with that of the SE today.

The SW in their bid for Presidency after Abiola had been denied his mandate and killed, never engaged in a mindless campaign of hate, threats and insults against the entire country. Their mouthpiece Radio Kudirat fought dictatorship & military rule in alignment with the desire of Nigerians and did not become an outlet for extreme hatred, bigotry & propaganda. Very unlike the SE that did so through ipob & radio biafra which enjoys widespread support in the region as demonstrated through compliance with Cownu's instructions like sit at home & support among some elites including a serving Senator of the Republic, among others.

This is what makes it excruciatingly difficult for the SE to win the votes of other Nigerians at this time unlike the SW that enjoyed national sympathy due to MKO and secured the all-SW tickets & won votes across the country.

IPOBs are bitter that a man of impeccable character and reputation like Adesina stuck their neck out in defence of the amiable General Gowon.

They should go lick their wounds elsewhere.

richie240:
Their body languages/actions negate their words!
Yesterday, you insult Hausa's and Yoruba's;
Today, u extend an olive branch/seek collaboration;
Tmr, you go back to insulting Hausa's, Yoruba's.....intact Nigeria/Nigerians as a whole, and u think ppl are not taking notes of ur inconsistencies?

More like putting d cart b4 d horse putting the cart ON THE HORSE: they are simultaneously detstroying d bridge they are crossing!
Hian!

They're not ready to lead.

They have a long way to go.

The truth is golden.

Whiteangel1234:
Biafra agitation get more followers because of actual or perceived marginalization of the Igbos

We do not have any problem with a United Nigeria but it must be just and fair to everybody

Trust me a united Nigeria and a United Africa favours an Igbo man

Only a few were deceived that you truly wanted to secede. The political frustration behind it was so obvious.

Thats why we rightly named it Biafrauud right from the beginning.

Too bad so many young misguided ipobs were lost for a fraudulent cause.

fiizznation:
Majority of folks in north won't ever vote for a ibo person for any federal position. And it won't matter if the ibo person is in APC, PDP or whatever party. This is just the sentiment of the average northerner. And this sentiment isn't built on the basis of hate or anything, but i just believe that's just the way it is!


Anyway goodluck to the next ibo president in 2023!

The hardest person to wake up is the one that is pretending to be asleep.

The more they look, the less they see.

NSK4U:
Thank you my brother, let's all support northern president come 2023.

Lol that's definitely not your decision to make.

Limitless72:
The Igbos don't hate the APC
They hate Buhari
There's a difference

The Northerners and SW in APC don't hate Igbos.

They hate Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and his piglets who have done nothing but hate and attack them. That's why they'll never be allowed near power under any guise.

There's a difference.

Esseite:
There is no intense hatred for any party in the SE.. the hate is on incompetence because it affects everyone.. you fail to understand that the lower the political capital the more honest and truthful one is. The AD was more vocal and growth oriented than the APC today.. you should clamour for a low political capital region to lead.. we saw an example with GEJ and his globally acknowledged ministers.. except you are not in it for growth.

What YOU fail to understand is that you cannot support GEJ and claim to hate incompetence. That is an oxymoron. GEJ was as clueless and incompetent as they come along with his thieving ministers apart from Adesina so you can only fool yourself and your likes.

I will never clamour for a politically tactless region to lead because apart from the fact that you're total failures in governance as can be seen from your 5 failed low IGR S/Eastern states governed by Ibos for the last 21 years....you also must earn the political favours of millions of Nigerians across the country that you have insulted and threatened for the past 5 years through IPOB and its several online urchins thereby foolishly burning the critical bridges you're now trying to erect.

You don't know what you're up against.

Esseite:
Well, the primaries is still years ahead... the registers are still open.

If you don want umahi in the party, then write a letter to him rejecting him for all to see..

If you knew anything about the constitution then you should have known that every citizens freedom of association is constitutionally protected which is why politicians jump from one party to the other like excited harlots.

It is your lack of support and intense hatred for the party across the region, coupled with your low political capital, that will continue to haunt you.

Esseite:
You should take a clue that the moment a capable Umahi changed ship, the acceptance became vivid... they dont accept rubbish coated with propaganda.. maybe that is the bane of growth since 2015..

All their projected ministers have attained greater heights globally from Adeshina, other, Okonjo etc, how does a lai Mohammed or lauretta onochie holding controlling positions in Nigeria today want to compete globally..

What Umahi? Lol.

Even Jonathan stands a better chance. Don't kid yourself.

APC delegates vote at primaries. Not wishes or emotions.

So Amina, Barkindo, Lukman, Adesina and other notable Nigerians from the 250+ other groups haven't attained global heights? Why can't such excellence be transferred to the regions development?

Rest.

Esseite:
Everybody worked for it.. PDP, APGA, CPC, AD.. if you feel aggrieved.. AD is available.

We need to get Nigeria back on track with an option not yet ventured.

You never worked for it.

The SE fiercely worked against the APC. All the shrines in Igboland cannot change that narrative.

That SE option has already been tested on a smaller scale in Abia and other SE states and we all know the result. If you cannot put Aba back on track from the gutter, there is no miracle you will perform if the responsibility is increased, and no sense in giving you the rest of the country to misgovern.

Go and reap where you sowed or keep hustling backwards.

OfficialAPCNig:
Lol.

A Chairman is the mere head of corporate governance not the owner.

The owner appoints the Chairman. In some cases, the owner is both the CEO and Chairman and in such case, the person will be addressed as CEO/Chairman.

Go school, you no gree

What you meant is MD/CEO who Abdulrazak delegated to his employee Chikezie Nwosu.

What you were referring to are PLCs where shareholders (owners) elect the board and chairman, not any individual owner like you ignorantly suggested. You are a nymph in the discourse of corporate governance.

The Chairman and Vice Chairman in this case are the owners of the company, whether your semi-literate, upper iweka bigoted brain accepts it or not

Solsix:
..
He might be fronting for somebody. I doubt a fulani man will invest that kind of money in south east

Why the doubt?

Abdulsamad (BUA) another Fulani man is building a much bigger refinery in Akwa Ibom to start production in 2024. That is aside Dangotes mega refinery in Lagos.

Nnamdi Kanu's anti-fulani propaganda has really brainwashed a lot of people.

An excellent one by the investors & President Buhari as he continues to provide an attractive climate for investments.

This is a critical right step towards ending the daily dollar bleed due to the avoidable, totally illogical importation of petroleum products, despite being an oil producing nation.

Kudos to Abdulrazak Isa, the Chairman of Waltersmith Refinery for creating jobs for hundreds of Imo Youths and boosting the IGR of Imo State and the SE.

It is these kinds of gestures across board that continue to unite us beyond the divisive antics of our deceitful politicians.

mekysmart123:
I was at Ohaji Egbema few months ago, honestly, that Fulani guy is investing massively in the LGA. He is also venturing into gas exploration in the interior of Njaba, as I was told. My question is, where our brothers them dey?

Fulani Amaka
Arewa Amaka..
Nigeria Amaka...

Trump is such a sore loser.
