Igbo President?. But Ojukwu Contested In 2003 and 2007 by OtunbaJega: 4:21am On Jul 25, 2014 |
I have been following the clamour for a President from Ibo land. Ojukwu, the Biafra hero, contested in 2003. Why did majority of the ibos refused to vote their hero. One interesting fact is that, in 2003, Ojukwu gat only 3votes in Bayelsa State... In 2007, he recorded just 155,947 vote which represented a meager 0.44% of the total votes Just asking? 16 Likes 3 Shares

Honestly, I keep questioning the sincerity of some Igbos whenever they eulogies Ikemba Ojukwu... ThÍs same Ojukwu with the help of Chief Chekwas Ókorie lost the 1983 SENATÓRIAL poll, after obtaining the ticket on a pLatter of Gold with help from OkorÍe. He lost to a lowly ranked nÉwbie. This same Ojukwu was Ñot invited to the Burial of the Late Owelle of Owerri, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe This same Ojukwu was denounced PUBLICLy and in Newspapers by Ohanaeze Indigbo, after he took the Title Ezeigbo Gburugburu This same Ojukwu was brought in to APGA by its founder Chief Chekwas Okorie to contest the Presidential election of 2003. He was defeated in Anambra State and the entirer SE by incumbent Obasanjo. The Same Ojukwu that was insulted and called a BÉTRAYER by Chief Chekwas Okorie after he sided with VictÔr Umeh for Þhe APgA party Çhairmanship tussle. This Same Ójukwu that was told to step down for Uzor Kalu by PPA Chieftains (Igbos) in the 2007 Presidential poll because he's not "sellable" ThÉ same Ojukwu that could not Save Peter Obi's impeachment in 2006 despite his condemnation of the exercise and was bluffed publicly when he called "the PDP dominated house to order" The same Ojukwu that was humiliated at the Onitsha High Court before then Justice Obiora Nwazota. The Judge refused to entertain Ojukwu legal suit against Ohanaeze. 43 Likes 5 Shares |

Although I respect ojukwu and his good intentions during the war, I can't personally vote for someone who lost a war, no matter how good his intentions are. In essence, Igbo's don't want just an Igbo president, they want the most competent president and would very much like that person to be Igbo. In the absence of such a person, Igbo voters have no choice but to put aside tribal biases and vote for the next best competent person. E.g I'd vote for Fashola, if he contests, over Jonathan, over Ojukwu, Over Buhari simply because on a scale of competency, this is how i'd 9 Likes 1 Share |

OtunbaJega: I have been following the clamour for a President from Ibo land. So u woke up by 4:21am and jump onto ur keyboard to type about ojukwu? u did not tell us ojukwu was chasing u around in ur dream. Eyaaaa! Ndo! If a f00l like could count bayelsa as an igbo state where ojukwu got 3 votes, then its of no use arguing with u. U need to go back to school. I can see ur type are quick to attack inec especially during OBJ's tenure for rigging d whole south west, yet you believed the votes inec released in the said 2003 election reflected the vote igbos gave ojukwu. Talk of double standard. |

barcanista: Honestly, I keep questioning the sincerity of some Igbos whenever they eulogies Ikemba Ojukwu... Igbos have a self-hate syndrome. I don't know if its as a result of our legendary decentralised system of Government or the psychological effects of losing a war. Orji Kalu almost emerged with PPA after he came 4th in 2007 Presidential elections and won 2 Igbo States of Imo and Abia with his PPA but within a few months both Governors joined PDP and killed Orji's political influence. Today the brightest Igbo leader is Rochas Okorocha but as usual many of those Igbo politicians are busy looking for ways to bring him down and elevate a non-Igbo. 11 Likes 1 Share |
