• Umahi far ahead, can’t withdraw from race – Support group

Efforts by the South-East to produce the next president may hit the rock as some of the aspirants from the region have vowed not to step down for one another.
The only presidential candidate from south east is Rochas Okorocha if not him then Dave Omahi any other candidate will not get Northern vote.

Optapidgin:
Former President Ibrahim Babangida in a recent interview gave a quite optimistic projection of the kind of person who should be Nigeria’s next president.

Politics in the country has come to the crossroads. More and more Nigerians have come to see the wisdom in statecraft. Better to have a president who helps bring food to the table i.e. earn enough money to provide the basic necessities for oneself and one’s family. There are some who still bend to the illusory preferential option for the kinsman. So, it’s merit Vs zoning.

Interestingly though, both sides of the divide have proponents who think that for the sake of fairness, equity, even for justice and such values that promote peace and order, an ethnic Igbo person should get the next turn at the presidency this time. This is the loudest, the most sober and sensible view. The influential Sultan, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar thinks so from Sokoto. The pragmatist reformer and current Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai likewise agrees that it should be the turn of the southeast now.

When the Igbos have had their shot, then Nigeria can evolve from turn-by-turn presidency to merit as the overarching criterion.

Thus on the whole, there seems a fair consensus of opinion that the presidency goes to the Igbos this once. So what then?

The problem actually is the incapacity of the Igbo political elite to inspire consensus around a viable candidate and then throw their weight behind him or her.

Owelle Rochas Okorocha has shown remarkable imagination and innovation in his declaration to run. A former governor and presently a senator, he has had a more than successful run in business and entrepreneurship. Plus he has shown a milk of kindness in his widespread charities and beneficent foundations. No matter what one may say, Rochas is not perfect but he has the pedigree suitable to do the job.

To recap, there is a growing political concurrence that it is only fair for the presidency to be zoned to the southeast. Even those who in principle would prefer merit to the option of zoning believe that if for no other reason than the sake of equity and fair play, someone of Igbo ethnicity be president this time. After that, all parties can throw their doors open and allow for only the criterion of merit and suitability.

One standard ex-president Babangida proffered for the next commander-in-chief was the candidate’s familiarity or association with diverse parts of the country. Okorocha has that in the bag. With deep roots in the north and eloquent in Hausa, he has roots and association in and with almost all parts of the federation.

Where it is not consanguinity, then it is business ties or some form of interrelation. In fact, a lot of the arguments made against him prove to be reasonable as to why he should be the next president.

Notorious extortionist poses for the camera after allegedly being a$saulted by FUTA students
.
A resident simply identified as Tallest, notorious for allegedly b#llying and extorting Federal University of Technology (FUTA) students, has been handed over to Amotekun operatives in Akure, Ondo State.

According to multiple sources, the suspect who is a member of a syndicate infamous for hara$sing students outside the school premises, met his Waterloo. “We’ve s*ffered greatly in the hands of Tallest and his gang. They are not students of the school and they hara$s us daily at Southgate, which is just close to our school.

They make sure that we part with our money and phones before they can let us walk freely. We had a protest recently over the matter but apparently, our words fell on deaf ears. 

Tallest and his crew took the risk to extort the wrong set of students on Tuesday night and were taught a lesson by the irate victims. While his crew members— K-faction and Quadri— took to their heels, Tallest had to bear the brunt of their actions. 

He was given an en!rgy drink for strength after receiving a v!ol#nt lecture and asked to pose for the camera before being handed over to security operatives. A manhunt has been launched for his accomplices,” a source familiar with the incident said.

In all fairness, The presidency should go to the South East.

The North are currently ruling

Obasanjo ruled for 8 yrs and Osibanjo is currently the Vice president

So in all fairness, The presidency should go the South East way

For me I will go with Star Boy any day any time with Zulum as his running mate. Let's have two Proffesors handle our affairs for the very first time.

A clarion Call beckons to Professor Yemi Osinbajo and posterity will judge him if he refuses to come out to declare his interest.

Anyways this is my personal choice... What about you? Who would you prefer to be Nigeria's next president?

He would be able to open up the economy and unite tribes but I doubt he has what it takes to tackle Fulani bandits , he will be soft on them and probably try to keep the calm by organizing an expensive amnesty that does nothing .... Besides I thing he is too old to be president .. Atiku should rest

I am born into an Islamic home, you and I know that if Christians had done 1/20 of what Boko Haram terrorists and Iswap are doing this country would have perished long ago, Christian's are actually very tolerant, because I know that if a religious based group in the south starts acting the way Boko Haram have been acting, setting of bombs in market places, schools, churches, akintola mumuric would have urged his fellow Muslims to kill Christian's anywhere they find them, Gumi would have advised the federal government to roll out tanks to the South to level everywhere, etc etc
