We must not continue to lie to our people. Let them know the truth and fight with the right energy.

The PDP didn’t deny the Igbo man her ticket; instead, we were never ready to get the ticket, although it wasn’t still our turn as many wrongly claim.

Peter OBI was never running for president; he had wanted to be Atiku Abubakar's running mate until EndSars happened, which amplified his influence, yet he wasn’t willing to throw his heart into the game till a decision was taken for the ticket to be thrown open.

Even if the party had wanted to allow an Igbo man to fly the presidential ticket, whose support would the ticket enjoy when the two PDP governors we had in the South East were busy following Nyesom Wike around like his house servants? Not even Obaseki in Edo State or another governor of a state in the South South would be so degrading as the two we have in the South East. For them, it was Wike for President and not one of the Igbo aspirants. The records are still there: how many votes did Igbo presidential aspirants garner at the primaries?

They even followed Wike to Awka to mock Peter Obi that he cannot win the primaries and owned up to it.

Which Igbo presidential aspirant would have won the ticket and gone ahead to challenge for the President for a party in the opposition? Certainly none.

Wike masterminded the weakness of the South East to challenge for the ticket, and we must learn the truth and trade with caution.

In 2011 and 2015, we made this same mistake with Goodluck Jonathan and sold our rights to the Otuoke man by adopting him as Igbo-born, bestowing upon him the name Ebele Azikiwe, and threatening that he represents Igbo interests and that any attack on him will be a direct attack on the Igbo Nation. It’s unfortunate that we have yet to learn anything from that c0wardice.

If the few Igbos insist it was their turn to produce the president in PDP, we must remind them that in 2011 and 2015, we supported Jonathan as an Igbo son, and he won one term and lost the other on behalf of Ndi-Igbo. We robbed ourselves of our future and must take the blame.

When I see Igbos supporting Wike, I feel repulsed and wish they would never identify as ndi-Igbo because they are shame;less. Nyesom Wike, like Jonathan, attempted to take the show from ndi-Igbo once more, but luck was not on his side; instead, our few political leaders are following him like r0dents, aimlessly too. We gave Jonathan our lives and sold our future for him; if Wike professes to be fighting for justice, his interest should have been for any of the Igbo contenders for PDP Presidential ticket to emerge candidate. But we are not interested in issues but rhetorics and sentiments.

The only interest of the Igboman in Nigeria today should be the alliance that will give us power, not otherwise, if the North will give us that alliance, we’ll be willing to make any sacrifice to gain the alliance and produce a President.

You've been fighting against Peter Obi showing you're useless and shameless.

Fulani terrorists are still killing your people.
