Monday Ubani, 2nd Vice- President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Tuesday said it will not be in the interest of the Igbos or Southern part of Nigeria to allow another Northerner take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Speaking on the possibility of Atiku Abubakar emerging as president in 2019, Ubani said an Atiku presidency in 2019 will mean power will remain in the North for another eight years and this will not be in the interest of the South.

He said “Giving Atiku a chance to become president in 2019 will cause so many political upheavals. This is President Buhari‘s first term. If he finishes his first term and then goes for a second term, then power can come back to the South”.

“Giving a new Northerner the opportunity to rule in 2019 means that the Northern region will be there for another eight years before it now comes to the South, and then before it comes to the South Eastern part of the country. It is not in the interest of the Igbos or the South for another new Hausa-Fulani man to become president in 2019”.

“It is better that we allow the person that is there now (President Buhari) who is not doing badly at all to complete his eight years and then allow the power to rotate to the South.

“It is not just a question of allowing Atiku to run to see what he can do, there are other considerations. Those factors must be taken into considerations and we cannot consider it in isolation”.

“The first is, if we allow him, it will take a longer time for power to come back to the South. So, I think it is in our interest to allow President Buhari complete his eight years if he is ready to contest and healthy enough to contest.”

Whatever......

Lol

By spending 8years
?

Take it to the bank

If pmb was not voted for in 2019

Igbo's should forget presidency in 2023

Let me analyzed how it works

All pmb supporters and progressives won't vote any candidate from the south east come 2023

It is no brainer!

This man is myopic. So we should vote for Buhari even if we have a better candidate? Typical method of Ipob reasoning. Who told this man Southerner cannot win in 2019. Why is that only Igbo politicians want buhari to continue beyond 2019 as if the 2023 president will be handed over to them on a platter of gold

But... Igbos are his biggest supporters. And he will most likely pick an igbo running mate. He was also a tacit supporter of Kanu and Biafra. I think it is a foregone conclusion that igbos will vote massively for him. But can he win? That is the real question.

Quite interesting.

But some people say they are not interested in the Presidency...

Like play like play, this issue of 'someone from the North after someone from the South' (turn by turn) Presidency has come to stay in Nigeria o.

They will support Operation python dance...and unity by gun point as well.

Northerners should leave igbos out of their political misery, buhari media groups should focus more on how they will battle atikus political machinery come 2019,as it is clear that both atiku and buhari will come begging for the votes of the igbos come 2019 while we continue to send our one message to the world as usual ,right now we have only one agenda and the presidency is not part of it.

Those who are going by the slogan that if igbos vote buhari by 2019 they will get the presidency by 2023 are only fooling themselves and exhibiting their political naivity as such will not happen because we are wiser now.

There is two major factor that will determine the 2019 , either Nigeria will be holistically restructured or we continue asking to control our future, the status quo cannot continue let no one be fooled.

The north should be ashamed of themselves, they have produced more leaders and have little to show for.

It is not how far but how well

To an extent I agree with Ubani but is Nigeria ready to allow an Igbo presidency in 2023? The answer is NO.

The option of chosing between PMB and Atiku in 2019 is going to be one of the most difficult choices we have to make as Nigerians. I just pray God will just adjust the political calculations positively so as to liberate us from the grip of all these polithiefcians.

Ubani can you focus your energies away from wailing against Atikus' exit from APC?

Buhari till 2023, Igbo Presidency in 2023.

Buhari till 2023, Igbo Presidency in 2023.

I doubt this

..

Monday ubani is not competent to speak for the south. He is a buhari and APC apologist. We know him so well, only fools think he's neutral.

Ubani has no problem with the performance of the present government.
Mchweew

With the highlighted factors, his candidacy is DOA (Dead On Arrival)


He won't win the North with that combination and he definitely won't win in the SW with pt without that same combination.

In fact, regardless his combination, strategies or whatever he's deluding himself with, he's still not going to win anything, not even his own state to start with.

Look at the man's crooked hungry face.

Who told him Atiku is running to favor Igbos?

Atiku is running because we must institute good governance and accountability in Nigeria. The present quasi military rule, where corrupt people are reinstated and kept in office because they are friends or relations of the President must be done away with.

Nigeria must return to rule of law and respect for human rights.

You mean you must follow follow Atiku or Fayose because ibo people can not come up with any relevant or credible ibo man or woman to run for Aso Rock?


Nna, the joke is on you

Fayose is an Igbo Chief.
We love him and we shall support him. Now tell us the yoruba are are bringing for president? Are they outt of characters?

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted in the Igbo-British community. Have a look at their channel, they are trying to keep the language alive.

Where is the sense and wisdom in Yoruba people bringing up any candidate to challenge PMB when his VP is in like to step in after him for his own 8 solid years as the president of Nigeria?

The future and path is clear for us while as usual you people are lost and confused in the wilderness.

Even a day old baby get better sense pass you losers.


Losers...

Would nigerians vote a yiigboo man as president.

Thats a question.

There are many good hands in south south.

Igbo presidency 2023 is becoming Apc campaign slogan but i don't think it will work. Igbos wants to determine their future but restructure or secession.

now it's blackmail

Igbos better not fall for this deceit...northerners will never allow igbos rule this country. Come 2023 the same people screaming vote buhari for igbo presidency will all disappear into thin air. Better kick buhari the Fulani herdsman out of power come 2019. The illiterate must take his cluelessness and badluck charms back with him to the remote deserts of daura.
