Wow for selective Amnesia, if it is one Ken Olisa or Chuka Umunna some hypocrites will come with their hypocritical analysis of how he is no longer a Nigerian or biafran or igbo but a full blown British but when it has to do with someone whose origin has to do with them the story changes

Slow your roll and take it easy bwoy, and take a chill pill.. you need it.

Chidozie, you wey be say na Yorubaland dem bury your placenta. You wey be say na Yorubaland for Ibadan u go do your secondary school.

The last time i checked, a Yoruba Governor deported ibos, a Yoruba king threatned to throw you all inside the Lagoon, another Oba flogged your fake Eze at Akure, yet you all refuse to go back to iboland, you keep trooping to Yorubaland in your thousands on a daily basis.

Take your talk about Oil and Agriculture to somewhere else. Obasanjo Farm alone can feed the entire ibo race. Ondo is an Oil producing state but Iboland produces no oil, stop the land grabbing already. Iboland is gulley eroded, red muded and landlocked.

Thanx for schooling that ignoramus. To add to your perfect response, even the much-celebrated Governor of Anambra, Obiano, publicly acknowledged that the entire South-East sources her Chicken meat from Oyo. Yet the IgrigiEOD fowl of a chest-beater is here talking like a drunk:

By Gboyega Akinsanmi

The political camp of Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, yesterday suffered a major setback as his close associates defected from to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Prominent among the defectors are a senator in the seventh National Assembly, Senator Patrick Akinyelure, and the Director-General of the Technical Aids Corp, Dr. Pius Osunyikanmi, both of whom announced their decisions to quit the PDP yesterday with thousands of their supporters.

Mimiko’s political camp also suffered similar fate before the 2015 general election when a group loyal to former Governor of the state, late Dr. Olusegun Agagu, quit the PDP, accusing the PDP national secretariat of unfair treatment.

The Agagu group, which had series of meetings with former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, before its chieftains, members and their supporters finally defected, was led among others by Agagu’s younger brother, Mr. Femi Agagu, the PDP governorship candidate in 2012, Mr. Olusola Oke and Mr. Bankola Oluwajana, served the Agagu administration in different capacities between 2008 and 2012.

Apart from Mimiko’s alleged highhandedness, a close ally of the governor yesterday confirmed that there was a major crisis in the state PDP, thereby ascribing it to Mimiko’s decision to anoint and endorse his Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, as his likely successor.

He told THISDAY that Jegede’s choice violated the principle of zoning outrights, noting that since Mimiko “is from Ondo Central senatorial district, Jegede, who is also from the same district, cannot be his successor.

“Since May 29, 1999, no governor in the state has served two terms fully. Chief Adebayo Adefarati from Ondo North only served one term. Agagu from Ondo South was ousted by the elections tribunal.

“Mimiko from Ondo Central may be privileged to serve two terms. Yet he is plotting to install a successor from the senatorial district. This is political robbery. We all know it is a dead project. We will not part of it.”

But in a joint statement they issued in Lagos yesterday, Akinyelure and Osunyikanmi formally announced their decision to join forces with the APC in the state, which further reinforced the fact that Mimiko’s camp was in crisis.

The statement cited three key reasons that fuelled the decision of Akinyelure and Osunyikanmi, noting that the reasons comprised their passion to always align with other genuine progressives in the APC; their resolve to put the state in the mainstream of national politics and the need to foster regional integration.

It added that the declaration, which had already ignited the embers of passionate endorsements across the state, followed what the defectors described as the historic disengagement from the PDP in Ondo State.

It explained that the decision was taken after “several months of wide consultations with our esteemed leaders, constructive constituents, fervent followers and very distinguished admirers from the length and breadth of the state.

“The mood in the state, as clearly expressed in the last general election, shows that the people truly want a change. In spite of the fact that we have a PDP government in the state, our people voted massively for President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC. That situation has not changed.

“In fact, the calls for total change at all levels of governance in the state are getting more stringent due to the failure of the PDP-led state government to deliver democracy dividends to the people. As progressive politicians with track records in people’s welfare and empowerment, we cannot but identify with a political platform poised to change Nigeria for good.

“Therefore, our decision to align with other genuine progressives in the APC is hinged on the need to engender good governance in our state, put the state in the mainstream of national politics and foster regional integration which has long been frustrated by the current selfish and egocentric leadership in the state.”

ibos, funny folks they are. Aside from the fact that this is an unintelligent and nonsensical article laced with bigotry, instead of the writer to blame Godwin emefiele, an ibo man who is the CBN Governor, for the ibos perceived economic woes as a result of the CBN monetary policies, the bigot is busy blaming PMB and other tribes in Nigeria

Bro, the thing tire me o. The author conveniently by-passed Emefiele who is the driver and initiator of the said policy and clumsily linked it to Buhari. You gotta wonder if some of these folks can ever be truly objective about any issue, without sentiment and their trademark sensationalism/emotionalism.

Rose2014:

He's keeping his job
Take that to the bank

How easy for you to dismiss his culpability over this allegation, considering his position as the initiator/driver of the policy in question. In that case he must indeed be more anti-igbo than Buhari or any Northerner for that matter.

Rose2014:

To keep his job

Are you suggesting that he's consciously 'Anti-Igbo', or he's being 'remote-controlled' by the Hausa-Fulani boogeyman Buhari and his kinsmen to wage this alleged 'economic warfare' against his own kinsmen? ?

Please, is the current governor of the CBN not an Igboman again? ? If the author is right about his assertions, then can somebody please explain to me why Emefiele is 'waging economic warfare' against his own kinsmen?

Awada Keri Keri.
