It would be unfair if INEC conducts a
supplementary election after a self-
confessed election fraught with
electoral malpractices perfected in the
highest order,even as investigations
are ongoing against some biased
umpires.I feel APC might be better off
securing an injunction restraining
INEC from conducting the
supplementary elections pending the
conclusion and determination of the
ongoing investigations against the
electoral officer; otherwise INEC
should conduct a fresh poll in
Anambra state

gbanikiti: The day Peter Obi steps his foot in the north, boko haram should eliminate him. If he dares come to the south west, OPC should hunt for his big head and cut it off. Bigots like him are not meant to be alive and cause disunity between Igbos and other ethnic groups. Enough is Enough!!

omo alaro: I was so disappointed in the politics of division that played out in anambra.
Catholic vs other faiths. Thank God no muslim (islam) mix in the equation.
Ngige is good but joined awolowo people who killed our people.
El-Rufai has no right to be in anambra (a part of Nigeria not Biafra).
How will these Igbo people approach other Nigerians in future to solicit for their votes to produce an igbo president of Nigeria with these level of tribal and religious hatred?
Other LOSERS felt better after seeing the thread below. I advise that you do the same.

Rather than continue sobbing and whining from thread to thread, why not try the thread below? It was created specifically for people like you that are passing through the pains and anguish of DEFEAT.

Mumu go and study the electoral act.The only competent court to adjudicate on this matter is an election appeal tribunal.Besides only one LGA was affected which does not invalidate the results of the other election.The election of the affected lga(idemili North) has just been rescheduled to fulfil all righteousness.Besides even if that election is held ten times APGA will still win the election

Why are people being too hypocritical?
What is wrong if we say APC have no place in Igbo land?
Can APGA win a senatorial seat in Kano,Borno,Lagos or Ondo?
The earlier dis hypocrites believe Nigeria is far from being a united entity d better for them.
If u say Peter is playing d 'ethnic politics', what would u say of d hausa man that believes He must rule Nigeria for there to be peace.
Ethnic and religious politics has always been d norm in Nigeria.
-We say NO to HAUSA/YORUBA party!
If d Yoruba man has agreed to be d Aboki stooge,we decline to be anybodies stooge.
We are Igbos we leads.

Oh well, then I'd call you a late-comer.

Perhaps, you should have taken time out to study the whole country, ethnic relations, and politics time ago. It took me just 6 months to decipher everything. And since then, I gave up on Nigeria.

It's not just Anambra and the 3 major ethnic groups. The minorities are also as tribalistic and bigoted as the big three. They just don't have a voice nor platform, to express themselves.
Re: Governor Peter Obi And The Danger Of Ethnic Card by Nobody: 8:37am On Nov 21, 2013
Tribal politics in Anambra, yes?

But Igala's also do the same in Kogi.

Ibibio run Akwa Ibom.

Junkun are monopolising Taraba.

Who owns Rivers? We might be looking at Igboid groups.

Etc.

It's the same everywhere - that's Nigeria. Tribal people and how they lead their everyday lives.

Abagworo:

Liar liar! No Ihiala man can ever write the sort of thrash you spewed out earlier. Stop all these lies and man up to your real identity "chino". You are a beneficiary of Peter Obi and you act like him by diverting simple issues to tribal rants instead of tackling it logically. Peter Obi sees Anambrians as mugu by his actions and youths like you are required to tell him that Anambra belongs to all Anambrians and not Peter Obi.

2ndly he's puting Igbos at danger by creating an us vs other ethnic groups dichotomy.

kingoflag:
The South West should try, despite Nigeria's Federalism, to set up legislation that'll discourage migration into her Region. It could be in the form of higher taxation for indigenes of her non-allies/potential enemies i.e non-members of the Old Western Region. It could also come in the form of proposing mandatory identification/Social Security numbers for its residents---Primarily indigenes of the states party to the agreement--- (lack of which will earn you heavy fines and trips to Prison) with the objective of lawfully and systematically denying same to certain people. Linked Digital Fingerprinting of criminals (which can be shared by law enforcement in these states) should be encouraged with the aim of viciously prosecuting violators. A first time offense should carry a very heavy fine, a subsequent offense should carry a mandatory 10 yrs minimum sentences. The first wave of Prisoners should be housed on one of Lagos' deserted islands and as more are caught, they should be put to work building more Prison Units and complexes that would be needed to house the impending wave of violators that would undeniably be convicted. While incarcerated, they should be put to work for the benefit of their host Govts and its inhabitants e.g Farming. Only people that are financially and Professionally worthy to the Region should be issued these instruments of identification. This will kill two birds with one stone: First, the Region will be decongested of people useless to its development because you shouldnt be able to get anything done without the I.Ds (school, housing, medical care etc). Next, when hit with the reality that they cannot destroy their own homes then flee to others, they will do whats right and elect credible candidates that'll work for their own good and that of the country.

If its the law, it is right. This is how you fight fire with fire in the 21st century.

Obi didn't have to play politics of hatred to win the election. He didn't have to play tribal cards knowing how sensitive we all are to it. Their rigging machinery is enough for them to win it.

What is more disappointing is the silent. Obi is playing politics with the lives of Igbo, nobody is speaking up.

We can't continue like this, we are not meant to be a country. We are just so different.

sagombugo:

Y are u so always given to mischief like this? Do you think a man of El-Rufai's standing will just go to any place without having any reason to be there?

Let it be known to you that he was an INEC accredited party observer and he was scheduled to help coordinate the APC situation room during the election

May I also remind you also that he was indeed the collating officer for the APC Guber Primaries between Ngige and Ezeemo while Ibrahim Shekarau serves as the Returning Officer for the same exercise. So El-Rufai didn't start going to Anambra today or on the election day!

You people should be careful the politics of seclusion you are playing?

Most of the Igbo billionaires today made their money under the Hausa military rulers! So while the common folks loath and hate them,your elites sure know where they stand in the scheme of things hence have been romancing them

If the yorubas are your 'enemies' that shouldnt step foot on Igbo land,are the Hausas too barred from coming to your place even if they have a legitimate business and assignment to do?

While the Yorubas may be rational,circumspect and pain-staking in doing things,you sure know that the northerners know how to post recompense for every act of agression against them!

Ndigbo call the likes of Peter Obi and Victor Umeh to order!!! Election will come and go but the seed of discord being sown will linger till the 5th generations!

Should any conflagration starts,its the local folks that will bear the brunt not them!

Nuff said!

Most of the Igbo billionaires made their dough during military rule? not sure, but I hope u are not trying to say that the military govt gave Igbo ppl money or opened differential opportunities for igbos.
The military ruled for 35 yrs or so, that's a long time span, so ur assumption is not coincidentally impossible; but if u check it, most billionaires from other tribes made their dough in the military era too.

Who are the Anambra youth? Well the youth does not know anything for now, What an elder see sitting down, A child cannot climbing on mountain klimajaro and that why your mother take to the street to protest against your future or you think they dont know what they are doing?
