They are saying tinubu should work for Igbos in Apc. Or aren’t there Igbos in Apc??

Their number and electoral impact are too negligible to matter.

RealLordZeus:
Last time i checked, no one stop any tribe from contesting for the goddamn office so OYC must stop this blackmail and start working for the interest of the igbo nation by mobilizing for their preferred candidate

No matter who become the president, fuel is not going back to #97 .. they are all thieves

Reasonable people won't care where the President comes from as long as he/she is the best for the country.

All these tribal politics.

I for one don't care where the next president comes from.....just present the best. That being said Tinubu does not qualify neither does the myriad of names that have come up recently.

Daboomb:


I think OYC is being very dishonest here!
No right thinking person will vote for Bola Tinubu to be President, now that Prof Osinbajo has declared his interest in the Presidency, since they are both from the South West.
So, hatred of Yorubas by Igbos did not start with Bola Tinubu, the seed of that hatred was sowed by the Igbo Fathers and Mothers who witnessed the Civil War but turned around to LIE to their Igbos Sons and Daughters, by telling them a manipulative version of the war.
It is Igbo Parents who passed on this hatred, to their offsprings, telling them that it was Yorubas who made them lose the War instead of telling them the Truth about how Ojukwu unilaterally declared the War, despite good advice from Awolowo that the SW is already surrounded by Fulani Soldiers as all the Garrison Commanders in the SW ar Northerners and the SW has no stach of Amunition to prosecute a War at that moment. Awolowo advised Ojukwu to hold-on a bit but Ojukwu ignored this advise and declared war on Nigeria.
Despite the war being predominantly a Northerner Vs Easterner (Igbo) affair, Ojukwu was directing all his war efforts to destroying Southern Nigeria, instead of facing Northern Nigeria. His calculation was that he would FORCE Southern Nigeria into the War and he bombed as close as Ijebu Ode (Ogun State), after capturing Asaba (today's Delta), destroyed Benin (today's Edo State) and burnt down the Central bank in Benin, but not before robbing the place of all the money!

It was not until Yorubas saw that Ojukwu was intent on destroying Yoruba land, while those fighting him from the North were left untouched, that the Yorubas started resisting and pushing him back, until they defeated in in the battle of Ore (Ondo State), fro where they drove him back across the Niger bridge, before finishing him off.

But Igbo Mothers and fathers blame Yoruba for hteir defeat!
the question l ask my Igbo friends is that: If Yorubas and Northerners are at War and the Yoruba Army starts bombing Onitsha, then Enugu, Awka,while leaving Kaduna, kano, Jigawa untouched, will Igbos welcome them with open hands or fight them back and reclaim their territory?
I ask you too, for a Honest answer to that question.

Igbos hated Awolowo, not because of Tinubu, Igbos hated Yorubas even before Tinubu became known in 1999, though Igbos cant stop spreading into every nook and cranny of Ypruba land, to eek out a living and Yorubas welcome them with open hands but their hatred of Yorubas, as l mentioned, has becoem hereditary and genetical, it is in-born and transfered from generation to generation.

It is left for the present generation of Igbos to use their brain and analyse issue critically and decide whether they want to act on current situation or they want to keep living on the lies they were told by thei parents..

On the issue of Presidency, Igbos deserve to produce a President of Nigeria (never mind the bad appellation they call the same country they want to rule, it just shows that they are misdirected. Or Do Igbos want to be President of a Zoo?) but they must also appreciate that in a Democracy, it is "goodwill" that gets you a Political Position, NOT RIGHT.
Uless Presidency is being "micro-zoned" to each Geo-Political Zones (which is not the case), then Igbos cannot BY RIGHT, say it is our turn and other Nationalities must Withdraw for us.
At present, the Presidency is being Zoned between the REGIONS (South and North).
It is the turn of the Southern Region of Nigeria, which comprises of the SS, SE and SW.

But in the South, the SS and especially the SE (Igbos) have, in their good wisdom, placed all their Eggs in PDP, in the last 23years.
So, it is common sense that the PDP should give them the PDP Presidential Ticket, so they can REAP, where they have been SOWING all these years. That is where it should start from.
The next thing is now for Igbos to MOBILISE support for their Igbo candidate, to win the Election. No matter what we say, it is still going to be an ELECTION, Nigerians still have to Vote and Elect their President. There wont be any Consensus or Waiver on that.

It is not a secret that the SW have mostly invested in the APC, from the days of AD, ACN, etc, till it became APC (which by the way, is a product of Alliances, lobbying, trade-offs, scratch my back, l scratch your back, etc, as espected in a Democracy).
The SW even supported a Buhari, who is a perenial, no-good looser, to win the Presidency, just because they wanted an Alliance that goes beyond the SW and they were willing to wait for 8years, so they can get back the same support.
Now, tell me, since 2023 is around the corner and the SW is saying ti the APC, we have supported a Northern Candidate in this Alliance called the APC,it is time you also support us, in the spirit of the "Alliance" that we made, how reasonable is it thenthat the Igbos just raise their head and say: APC should gove them the Party's Ticket?
What is their investment in APC (apart from the last minute, desperate defectiosn of some of them who are hoping to "cash-in" on what others worked for? When did the Igbos Vote massively for PC, as they have been voting in bloc, for the PDP?

As a matter of fact, the Igbos consider the "Yorubas and APC" as their "Political Enemy" because, according to them, they did not Vote for their anointed candidate, Goodluck Jonathan, for his second term in 2015 (which would have made Jonathan to be President for 10yrs, far above any other person in Nigeria!).
How then and wht should such a Party hand over its Presidential Ticket to the Igbos, all in th ename of "it is our turn"?
Yes, the Igbos deserve to have the PDP Presidential Ticket and that is where they should focus on an dmobise to win the election proper.
The Yorubas deserve to have the APC Ticket and should not drag the PDP Ticket with them.

Everything should now boil down to who can mobilise the most afteral, Igbos and Yorubas are both Southerners

Rather than try to comprehend this simple logical conclusion, they will fight the submission. They think everything can be gotten by gra gra.

The problem is this people can be very ungrateful and spiteful ......You can ask obj
they never appreciate any favors done to them ......
Ask Awo, Ahmadu and many people ....even Atiku is careful with them

and why must Tinubu work for Igbo in APC, is he under obligation to work for them or has Igbo ever done something for him that warrant his loyalty to them?

Look at what politics has don to us. Turning us against each other. We come to nairaland everyday to exchange insults while these old politicians sit back and laugh at our folly. How has this insults and blame games solved any of our problems in Nigeria? To be honest with you the politics in Nigeria has sidelined the youths, our only involvement in politics is spiting each other. Can we stop fighting and reason a little. Before Every election We fight, insult our selves say all manner abominable things to our selves, what good has that done? no good, It only adds more salt to injuries. We may think that ppl don’t take this platform seriously so we can afford to just come and fight and insult carelessly. If we continue with this hatred in Nigeria we are going no where we all knw that. Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa we all are created with brains to think and resolve issues. And we are not created to hate each other or are we? Hatred comes as a result of past occurrences m, so are we bound to remain in the past? We need to wake up. Our leaders are deceiving us...
OYC: Fighting for their interest
Yoruba:fighting for their interest
Hausa: fighting for their interest.
Yet we say we are one Nigeria. All these are resultS of what the past and present leaders have planted in us and we are letting it grow.

I say no more...

Not all Yoruba believe in Sen Ahmed Tinubu presidential ambition, and Ohaneze cultural group should not drag Yoruba nation into their selfish ambition/ pre meditated failure of SE region. Yoruba nation is hospitality to ALL nations on earth. Awolowo's political sagacity is second to none and his ideology of good governance transcend Yoruba nation and the products of his deed is what makes Yoruba nation a pride and a force to beckon on today. Awolowo never had grudges/discord with Zik rather it was a betrayal of trust and envious of charismatic leadership of Awoism. The Asaba political meeting is still very much in memory. Ohaneze is dubiously / clandestinely bringing Yoruba nation into a political matter just to draw sympathy, Yoruba nation is a major stake holder in Nigeria entity prior to Nigeria independence and not today some one/ entity will drag us into mud - Never.

They are Apc members. Joe igbokwe has been a tinubu man right from time and many others also. Let me work for igbo presidency as his legacy.

Joe igbokwe is just like a staff to Tinubu, he is the one benefiting from Tinubu not the other way round, he has never done anything to help Tinubu political career.

And fashola and osibanjo were? In any case there are other igbos in Apc since joe igbokwe is just a house boy.

if other Igbo's are in Apc, then what concern Tinubu, is he the party chairman of president that will handpick Igbo to run for presidency, and besides, what has any of Igbo's in APC done for him that will make him support them. If any Igbo in APC are interested in presidency, let them come out, buy presidential ticket and contest. Tinubu is not stopping any Igbo's in APC from contesting for presidency.

From the day Tinubu intimated Buhari of his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election till this very minute, he has not uttered a single word in reaction to the social media smear campaign by shildren of 8, anger and perdition.

So where these ohaneze clowns and their dirty red caps are pulling these garbage from is what I can't wrap my big head around.

Tinubu will be president of Nigeria come 29 May 2023 and there is nothing any monkey, pig and gorilla can do about it.

Tifnubu will be Preshitdent of your village come 2023
