PoliticsWhat I Went Through As An Igbo Who Support GMD by Udpconcept(op): 9:24pm On Apr 01, 2015
I was an out cast in my lodge,dept and in my street and also in my village. Iam very happy that God has vindicated me and I made the right choice with my vote, even as I was able to convince some of my friends. I also delivered 61 votes for GMD as against PDP 115 in my polling unit, my dad also did the same in his polling unit 60 for GMD against 90 for PDP. Most of us sacrificed a lot to get that little vote for GMD here in the east. If u are an Igbo with similar experience you are free to share it with your fellow comrades in the race for change.

Goodluck Jonathan's campaign organisation
has been hit by a corruption scandal, reports
Premium Times.
The unit oversees the mobilization of the civil
society groups to support the re-election bid
of President Jonathan.
Members of the committee are at
loggerheads over the leadership style of its
chairman, Prof Nick Eze,
Some members of the committee have
accused the professor of enriching himself
with the funds rather than applying it to the
campaigns.
The scandal has grounded the activities of
the committee.

PoliticsQuestion For Every Igbo Man. Will An Ijaw Ever Support The Course by Udpconcept(op): 10:38pm On Nov 09, 2014
N an article in the Nigerian newspapers as well as
social media entitled “Ndigbo and support for
Jonathan”, C. Don Adinuba, a respected public
affairs and communication consultant, wondered
why Governor Serieka Dickson of Bayelsa State has
always been enthusiastic to express gratitude to
Vice President Namadi Sambo for “supporting our
son, President Goodluck Jonathan”, but has never ,
like Ijaw leader Edwin Clark, uttered a word of
appreciation to the Igbo people who have provided
the bulwark of support to Jonathan. Adinuba asked
why has the situation been like this, even when it
is axiomatic that Sambo, who lost his ward in the
2011 general elections to the opposition Congress
for Progressive Change, has added little or no
electoral value to the Jonathan presidency, unlike
the Igbo who have supported this administration
more than any other ethnic group in the country,
including those in Jonathan’s Niger Delta region. I
have waited since the article was published to see
if any person could answer the Adinuba’s
thoughtful poser, but couldn’t find anyone.
The Igbo political elite claim that their unflinching
support for Jonathan without demanding the
development of the Igboland in any way, including
the rebuilding of collapsed infrastructure like
federal roads in the Southeast, is targeted at
achieving a rapprochement with the ijaw who have
over the years displayed hostility towards the Igbo
whom they accuse of internal colonialism in the
First Republic. If this official explanation is
believable—though many analysts believe that the
support for Jonathan by the Igbo politicians has
more to do with personal gains than anything else
—then we should expect a reciprocal action from
the ijaw political leaders. Rapprochement is not a
one-way traffic. Parties on both sides of the divide
must show the spirit of mea culpa, or atonement of
sins committed against the other party. Whereas it
is possible that the Igbo people oppressed or
displayed a profound lack of sensitivity to the Ijaw
and other minorities in the defunct Eastern Nigerian
Region, it is also true that the Ijaw have hurt Igbo
interests in an awful manner.
Take the notorious “Abandoned property” issue in
the old Rivers State. At the inception of the
cataclysmic Nigerian civil war in 1967, Igbo people
in different parts of the country fled to the Igbo
heartland now called the Southeast. Those who
had buildings and other valuable assets naturally
left them behind. At the end of the civil war in
January, 1970, the Igbo people were warmly
welcomed back to all parts of Nigeria, thus making
Nigeria a quintessential case study in what the late
great Professor Ali Mazrui called “Africa’s short
memory of hate”. Dr John Abaelu, the brilliant
Anambra State-born erstwhile academic, economist
and banker, recalls in his absorbing autobiography
entitled Traversing Hills and Valleys which was
published a couple of months ago: “Nigerian and
Biafran soldiers were seen hugging each other and
laughing like old friends. Plenty of gifts changed
hands from Nigerian soldiers (biscuits, corn beef,
sardine), and from their new (Biafran) friends;
oranges, coconuts, bananas, etc. It was difficult to
believe these were former enemies who had been
locked in mortal combat for 30 months.”
Houses and other immovable assets left behind by
the fleeing Igbo people were returned to them
without conditions. In Yoruba land in particular,
rents collected from tenants who occupied the
houses were paid to the Igbo owners on return. As
Senator Jibril Aminu, former Minister of Education
and of Petroleum Resources, has always observed,
the Yoruba have a great sense of social justice and
largely do not hesitate to react promptly anytime
they notice an act of grave injustice. When naval
ratings attached to Rear Admiral Harry Arogundede
brutalized a female banker named Uzoma Okere in
November, 2008, Governor Babatunde of Lagos
personally led the public protest against the action
and instructed the State Ministry of Justice to file
an action against the fellow Yoruba top naval
officer in state high court; Ms Okere from Imo
State was awarded N20m in courts by the court.
Back to the so-called abandoned property issue.
The only place in the country where properties
belonging to the Igbo were not given back to them
was the old Rivers State, carved out of the Eastern
Region and was then dominated by the Ijaw
people. Rather than ensure the return of these
valuable assets, often built with the life savings of
the Igbo owners, the Ijaw military governor of the
State, the youthful Commander Alfred Diete-Spiff,
enacted a military edict overnight declaring all the
Igbo-owned houses “abandoned properties”. They
were confiscated and distributed to indigenes of
the Rivers State as a war booty. For instance, one
of the houses of Chief Z. C. Obi, the revered
president of the Igbo State Union and father of
Senator Onyeabo Obi, was given to the late Ogoni
writer, ken Saro-Wiwa, and it served as the
headquarters of his business on Aggrey Road in
Port Harcourt.
The anti-Igbo sentiment seems permanently etched
in the consciousness of some Ijaw political
leaders. When Chief Melford Okilo, the Ijaw
governor of the old Rivers State, was facing a stiff
reelection campaign in 1983 on account of his
lackluster performance, he played the typical tribal
game of Nigerian politicians when they find
themselves in a tight corner. Chief Okilo went to
the graveside of Major Isaac Adaka Boro and in
broad daylight began to weep uncontrollably
before television cameras, asking his Ijaw people
to rise against another “colonization by the Igbo
who are aided by the mainland peoples like the
Ikwerre, Etche and Ogoni in the Nigerian Peoples
Party”. Dr K. O. Mbadiwe had on more than one
occasion told the story of how despite the promise
by Alhaji Shehu Shagari in 1978 to choose an Igbo
running mate in the 1979 presidential election,
Chief Okilo insisted on putting his name forward to
displace such notable Igbo aspirants as Dr J. C.
Okezie and Dr Mbadiwe himself. Dr Mbadiwe was
thus forced to scream against Chief Okilo in public
during the screening process: “Stop! Who goes
there? Why are you putting yourself forward for
consideration as the vice presidential candidate? Is
it because I was magnanimous to allow the North
to produce the presidential candidate of our
National Party of Nigeria?”
Have things changed in recent times in the attitude
of the Ijaw political elite toward the Igbo? Much as
one would have wished the contrary to be the
case, the evidence on the ground does not quite
suggest so. In 2009, Professor Charles Chukwuma
Soludo, who had just completed a glorious term as
the Central Bank governor, sought to run for the
governorship of Anambra State. An Ijaw and
Nigeria’s former ambassador to Brazil who was
once managing director of the Daily Times, wrote a
scurrilous article against Soludo in The Guardian.
Short of being accused of treason, stories then
began to fly around, with all manner of people
around State House talking about how Soludo was
planning to run someday for the nation’s highest
office. A machinery was set in motion to stop
Soludo by all means from becoming the Anambra
State governor.
As Igbo political leaders fall over themselves in the
pro-Jonathan reelection campaign, it is right and
proper to speculate if the Ijaw will go out of their
way to support an Igbo presidential candidate with
hysteria as our people are currently doing. I am
afraid the Igbo political leaders just don’t get it.
Chief Igwebuike, a retired deputy director in the
public service, lives in Abuja.
