Between 1999-2015, Nigeria was more or less one party State with a dominant PDP and several smaller parties that couldn't win presidential elections, so political decisions taken at Wadata Plaza of the PDP only needed 'elections' to formalize it. Any presidential candidate chosen by the then PDP was bound to win.

All these changed with the formaltion of an alternative viable party, the APC which eventually defeated the PDP in 2015.

Now, each political party has to consider it's own survival/possiblility of defeat in its zoning arrangements.

That is why the south + the middle belt can give us an igbo president, we only need 25% votes of the core northern states

I'm from the Nigerdelta but truth must be told

Okay if you say so......but why should APC in particular zone the president to south east in 2023?... it will be grossly unfair to yorubas if APC does that....like you , we yorubas too settled for VP under buhari in the hope that the VP will take over from him.
Fair enough

Unfair to which Yorubas like how? When the PDP gave their Presidential ticket to Obasanjo in 1999 was it not unfair to the Igbos who fomed the bulk of the builders of that party? And who says Igbos didn't contribute to the growth of APC? Where do you put Rochas, Ameachi, Onu etc in? Can you compare the influence of the above names to their counterparts in the west?

Despite all odds, did Buhari not win the preferred 25% votes in Imo, Rivers, Abia, Ebonyi, and Anambra? Are you saying those who voted Buhari in Imo were ghost? Did Rochas and Amaechi not contribute to the financial warchest of the party during its formation and victory in 2015? If any group is crying for fairness in the APC, then that group is the NC and SE. The SW has been rewarded with the VP, Speaker, Military and top Ministerial positions, sames as NE.

But due to acute greed, the SW is asking for more and this will be her greatest political undoing. You can take that to the bank.

for peace, unity and equity... In other to also prove our loyalty to southern region... We can allow South East to have it... But them must humbled ... They need us most for that to happen... Not blackmailing us.. Thier is power in unity...The south must unit first with one voice... If they really want equal stake in this contraption...It is only southern unity that can give us GREAT opportunity for true fiscal federalism...

The north was not united with one voice when Yar’Adua and Buhari won the presidency. Why give south the conditions before south can succeed PMB?

Nobody changes the goalpost in the middle of the football game. Rotation of the presidency is necessitated by the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria favoring Arewa north.

Exactly. Nigeria can get a President of Igbo extraction come 2023 if Ndigbo can be brave enough to push her quest. Not cowards fronting as the voice of Igbos. And the cowards know themselves in the SE. Patriotic Igbos must begin to stand up to fight for her people.

The unity of this country depends on fairness come 2023.

What about Yoruba Nation agitation? Yeye dey smell

You are the one claiming Nnamdi kanu opened your eyes...i only remind you there are other pretenders before him

Where did I mention NK?

So as Nigeria is, you're happy with the way she's going? You have zero ambition towards development

Let it be made abundantly clear that if Presidency is a panacea to people’s problems, the North would have become the Netherlands of Africa.

“This is because the North had Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, Abdulsalam Abubakar, Musa Yaradua, Muhammadu Buhari, yet the problems of the North are on the increase”.

With the kind of this present leader d north gave us nigerians....they need to apologize & ask for forgiveness....and forgo presidential contest for the next 20 years.

Ibos cry should be directed to PDP...not APC
And yes Ibos like okorocha and onu contributed greatly to Apc but ibos were also handsomely rewarded....more than your contribution.....you dont expect yorubas to have equal rewards with ibos because their contributions were not the same now..... yorubas contributed more so should benefit more afterall during Obj regime ibos and northerners got more than yorubas even though Obj was a yorubaman but ibos and northerners contributed more than yorubas towards installing his government.

And how will development come when folks dont believe in the country......do you cut your head off to cure headache?...is development going to happen when ibos are insisting on breaking away just because they lost out in the power game

Unfortunately, the South and the middle belt are regions and NOT political parties with a well defined membership and structure that can enforce decisions on their members.


If the whole Southern + Middle Belt Governors meet and decide that the S/East should be given tickets in both PDP and APC, what if
non-Igbo members of these parties contest and win the presidential primaries of these parties, how will you stop him?

We mustn't be together you know, we were not together 120yrs ago and we've lived thousands of years.

You don't like us but insist on being in same country with us. Your response would be who's stopping us but clear you're against Igbos wanting to leave. As long as Nigeria exist, there can be no development [quote author=Rolings post=106279718][/quote]

Let SE aspire to be VP, Speaker or military head since they are not interested in the presidency, their choice

Clearly nobody is stopping you from leaving except yourselves ...i have always maintained that if ibos really wanted to leave (at least 70% ibos) they would long be gone.
The fact is its only a negligible number of ibos that really want to leave Nigeria....
Its allowed to have people like ipob and other ethnic nationalists in a federation like ours...i mean almost all federations have pople like them...but they are always a negligible number ....the majority always win
My advice...work towards getting the greater percentage of ibo population to want to leave and you will have your way...for now yall are a vocal minority trying to lord over the majority

Largest voting bloc indeed.

So why are all Northern governors against it?

Rolings:

WRONG.. When Igbos wanted to leave, why were they resisted? What led to the civil war? I know Igbos leaders have some blames that led to civil war, but innocent Igbo masses that knew nothing about it were gruesomely murdered in and outside their region.

The fact is it's only a negligible number of ibos that really want to leave Nigeria....

WRONG again... 99% wants to leave, except the ruling 1% or those benefitting from the current state. Why do you think IPOB was gaining acceptance, except now that those ones have foolishly been blinded and arrogantly think they can do it alone and that will be taken away from them soon.

Its allowed to have people like ipob and other ethnic nationalists in a federation like ours...i mean almost all federations have pople like them...but they are always a negligible number ....the majority always win

Again, you are wrong. IF your assertions are true, then the government has no reason to ALWAYS use Army to suppress people. Let the people decide.

My advice...work towards getting the greater percentage of ibo population to want to leave and you will have your way...for now yall are a vocal minority trying to lord over the majority

You are just trying to be clever by half...

Charmingrascal:
Yorubas are fighting for APC ticket

Igbos are fighting for PDP ticket


Hausa/Fulani want to keep both to themselves.


A divided South makes the North look smart and imperious




Show of shame

Don't get it twisted.

PDP is trying to reinstate what they discarded to pave way for GEJ after Yaradua. Especially now that they are desperate to return.

APC is returning a favour to the SW for being supportive from the beginning as against a SE that is anti-APC.

DMerciful:
You're not wise. PDP giving her presidential nomination to Igbos would be wasted cos the rest of Nigeria hates the Igbo man. Unless both political parties chose Igbo men like was done for Olu Falae and Obj.

We know that the easiest way for us to get power is through VP so don't feel sorry for us, we know what we're doing

U done become Igbo again after pretending to be an Ika person from Ote-Okpu in past?

The fact I'm Ika does not make me not a Biafran or Igbo. Some Ika indigenous do not identify themselves as Igbos but I do thats why if you go through my post you'll know I've always supported Igbo nationalityand Biafra.

They hate us for no reason.

Even the Fulanis that brought bokoharam, herdsmen and bandits are not hated as much as Igbos when it comes to political power.

Nobody hate you or anybody.


Different parts of Nigeria are strategizing to get Political power for THEMSELVES first but you are misinterpreting it that they hate you.

DMerciful:
Bandits, bokoharam and killer herdsmen has not stopped the North from producing the president but you naively believe IPOB is the reason we're not considered politically. If you know your history you'll know that the fear of the dominating attitude of the Igbos started way before independence.

If you expect the Igbo man to beg for political power then you don't know us at all. If NigerIA insist on undermining us, Nigeria herself will not progress.

Given the political atmosphere just now, VP is ok for us, since SW wanna be greedy, they've got it coming!

Nobody is undermining you sir.



Ndigbo voted en mass for Atiku-Obi ticket of the PDP in 2019 but the PDP didn't secure enough votes to win. It will be wrong to accuse others by calling this 'undermining us'


In 2023, most Igbos are hoping that the PDP re-present the same Atiku-Obi ticket with the hope that they win.
However if other parts of Nigeria are working for the ticket of another political party, the Igbos will be complaining that they are undermining them.

Everyone is pursuing his own interests but if your interests fail to materialize, don't start to scream 'betrayal, marginalization or they hate us mantra'
