2023 elections showed Yorubas don’t hate Igbos – Peter Obi

The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said the last general election showed that Yorubas don’t hate Igbos.


This was as Obi noted that the election was not a Christian or Igbo agenda.

Obi said the 2023 general election saw Nigerians unite across tribe and religious lines, adding that the poll corrected the impression that Yorubas hate Igbos.


The former Anambra State governor spoke while receiving the 2024 Courageous Citizen Award from the Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy (NACJD) in Abuja on Saturday.

Obi noted that the massive turnaround was an indication that Nigerians desired a change from the status quo.

“It was a time that Nigerians united and spoke with one voice regardless of tribe, tongue or religion. The 2023 election wasn’t a Christian or Igbo project.


“It was a Nigerian project. I saw our legends and elder statesmen come together for the first time. I was glad to see people like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and others stand their ground.

“I am saying this to correct the impression that the Yorubas hate Igbo people. A lot of people made certain sacrifices because we just wanted to say ‘Enough is enough’ in Nigeria. Imagine those who had lost their lives for the cause of a new Nigeria,” he said

Obi came third in the 2023 presidential election after trailing his counterpart from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and the winner, President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Prior to the election, a lot of Nigerian youths bought into Obi’s ideology and voted massively for him.

Only BATerians do


They can't win anything without tribalism...that's why after one year of tinubu massive failures they're still talking about Obi this Igbos that

Wow, Obi is right. The 2023 election showed how much Yorubas love and support the Igbo community. Its not like they are constantly facing poverty, terrorism and erosion.

Stop claiming you own the place someone help to accomdate you

Story.

Believe this news at your own peril

Obi,2027 is still far

But election result shows that Ibo hates Yoruba. People with passion

80 percent votes in Ibo land to Obi ....less than 10 percent to both Tinubu and Atiku. Tribalism. In display

Not all yorubas actually but those following tinibu's style of politics.

But Igbos will tell you that it’s the other tribes that are tribalistic. They have a way of turning black to white.

do you think Igbo vote tribe?
They vote competence

Ttipsy:
do you think Igbo vote tribe?
They vote competence

which competence. Igbo voted Tofa against Abiola and Shagari against Awolowo. Where is the competence there, only your zone voted against Abiola then.

This fraudulent character like inciting different tribes or religions against each other.

Wetin bring this one now for goodness sake?

Obis statement is a reminder of the unity and strength of the Nigerian people, regardless of tribe or religion, and serves as a testament to the resilience and contributions of the Yoruba community in shaping the future of our nation.

Obi is a criminal and too deceitful.

His power is his use of division to rule just like he did in anambra as their governor.

He divided Catholic against pentecostal.
Anambra igbos against other igbo.

See one M0ronic APC fellow up there saying why did Igbos give all their votes to PETER OBI

So Why also did Delta, Edo, Nasarrawa, Plateau states, etc gives all their Votes to Obi?

After Buhari's FAILED woefully as an APC president, Why will any Sane mind vote same Party all in the name of Balancing votes.

Very MUMU Reasoning.

kedeojo:

Igbos and tribalism are like 6&7.
They voted Obasanjo instead of Falae just to spite Yoruba.
They even voted for Tofa against Abiola because of their envy,jealousy and bad belle for Yorubas who have always stuck out their necks for the Igbo ingrates.

Oh yes, the 2023 election truly showed how much the Yorubas love the Igbos, especially with the overwhelming support and unity across tribes and religions. Nothing says love like constant derogatory comments and stereotypes, right?

We love Yorubas but hate Ronus

Interesting how Obi conveniently forgets the fact that he lost the 2023 election. Maybe next time he should focus on actually winning instead of trying to unite tribes.

Stop the hypocrisy already.

Your constant direct attack on the Yorubas is everywhere. 😂

Peter obi should stop beating about the bush but tell us that Igbos love yorubas if he won't be eaten raw by ipóbs/obidients

fable. Believe this news at your own peril

Ttipsy:

They vote competence

Competent indeed ....
We know the antecedent. Of Obi Peter when he was governor.

Hahaha, Obidient is just a small fraction of the Igbo community, we still have poverty, IPOB terrorism, erosion lands and other challenges to deal with, but at least we have the Yorubas love, right?

Tinubu=Yoruba??

Obi is about to start campaigning in the SW.

My ppl talk say "we nor dey guage the soup wey get maggi with eyes except we taste am"
Action, as they say speaks louder than words.

T9ksy:


Are you now saying that igbos don't love yorubas?

Look at what this ewu asaba of a soldier said and check the support he received from his kinsmen:
