Renowned anti-corruption crusader, Major-Gen. Ola Ishola-Williams (retd) has justified why the South East Nigeria deserves to produce the nation’s president in 2023. He also said Nigerians must learn to rise up against bad policies including the recent hike in fuel price, and electricity tariffs by the federal government. He spoke on other national issues in this interview with TUNDE THOMAS.

There appears to be contention between the South-East, and the South-West over who should have the 2023 presidency if it is zoned to the South. Which of the two zones do you think should have it?

My position is that it should go to the South-East. Even most people in the North have agreed that the presidency should be zoned to the South in 2023. Even a former national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Audu Ogbeh said it. My reason for supporting it going to the South-East is very simple. A Yoruba man Olusegun Obasanjo was there for 8 years as President whether people like him or not, and now another Yoruba man, Yemi Osinbajo is there as the Vice-President, and by the time he will complete his tenure in 2023 he would have spent 8 years there. So, what does another Yoruba man want in 2023, except such a person is a greedy fellow? Tinubu or any other person reported to be showing interest from the Southwest are greedy. They should go and sit down. For equity, and justice I believe the Southeast, and the Middle-Belt should have it in 2023. What has the people of the South-east done wrong that they should not be given the opportunity to contribute their own quota to the national development? The South-east should have the Presidency while the Middle-Belt should produce the Vice -President. I fully support zoning, and since Buhari a northerner is there as the President today then it should be the turn of the South in 2023, and when it comes to the South, the South-east should have it. Anybody with conscience will agree that the South-east should have it in 2023.

Anybody with conscience will agree that the South-east should have it in 2023...he says

Sorry sir, Nigeria has no conscience. Nigeria has selfishness, hypocrisy, fearmongering, sectionalism, nepotism, wickedness in high places, deception and above, are well entrenched in religious bigotry and tribalism.

One APC chieftain claims Igbos wil not be offered the president as none of them had worked enough to build bridges than Tinubu. Which bridge did Falea and Obj who came from Kuje prison build when the SW where offered in 1999? Which bridge did Tinubu build in the SE, SS and middle belt?

ok

Northern, Southern Leaders Resolve to Pullback Nigeria from the Brink

By Adedayo Akinwale

The Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF), Middle Belt Forum, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Afenifere and Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), have resolved to work together with the aim of pulling Nigeria from the brink.

They have also expressed their commitment to support and involve themselves in all activities targeted at improving the Nigerian constitution for the purpose of meeting the yearnings and aspirations of all Nigerian citizens.

If people don't respect themselves and let their greed get better of them instead of following gentleman agreement....after 2023 thing could take a different turn quickly...Hence the elders are right to meet.

Is this by merit, right, fairness, bullying, federal character or what?

Are the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba the only ones in Nigeria?

Let everyone wait for their turn until federal character is achieved.

By the way, the last President before Buhari was a Biafran with Biafran Power House Appointees

There are two things Igbo people ought to have come to terms with in this country that will never happen.

1. Igbo President: Even in the next life, Igbo man will not preside over Nigeria
2. Biafra: Until thy kingdom come, Biafra is a dead course.


Meanwhile, continue wailing and playing the we against the world kind of politics while you wait to answer hades' call.

Igbos=Buhari, two doomed entities.

What are you fearful off?

How can you all be afraid of people that occupy just 5 states with landmass as big as may be Niger state.

It means Nigeria cannot do without them. Or what do you think.

Please take your fearmongering somewhere else.

Do the north fear Boko haram?
