These 3 Men Are Undisputed Political Lords Of Igbo Land & The Most Popular by gidgiddy: 10:51am On Dec 27, 2023 |
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu needs no introduction. He is a billionaire businessman in his 70's, from Imo State. Back in the 80's, he was touted as amongst the 3 top richest Igbo men alive. A former Chieftain of PDP, he severally sought to become that Parties Presidential candidate but never succeeded . Today, he is President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which theoretically makes him the leader of the Igbo race. Chief Iwuanyawu remains immensely influential amongst Igbos and very popular Nnamdi Kanu The leader of the indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, hails Afara Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State. He gained cult like following amongst many Igbos with his propagation of Biafra, the independence of the south East and some parts of the South/South from Nigeria. To find an Igbo person who has a bad word for Nnamdi Kanu is very rare, and his current incarceration by the Nigerian authorities elevated him to a Nelson Mandela like status amongst Igbos. Despite being in detention for over 2 years, mostly in solitary confinement, the man still wields immense support and popularity amongst Igbos Peter Obi Peter Obi is a billionaire businessman and politician, a native of Agulu in Anambra State, and a political acolyte of the late Biafran Warlord, Ojukwu. He was Governor of Anambra between 2007 and 2013. Obi shot into political prominence in 2023 when he chose to run for the Presidency under the little known Labour party. His fellow Igbos saw him as the only person worth voting for amongst the leading candidates and massively mobilised for him. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

In 2021, When Pitobi was still in PDP and the election was drawing near, Pitobi wanted to act like a political godfather and tried to Impose Valentine Ozigbo(Oga Ndi Oga) on them but Anambraians reminded him of how terrible his tenure was and that they will go with APGA instead They us told him that PDP remains dead in Anambra and that they will go for Prof Soludo, following the remarkable 8years of the best Anambra giv ever till 2021, thats Willie Obiano See, for my Polling Unit for Ukpomili hall 2, wey me take vote, Valentine no even near the APC candidate, even at our Rec at St Marys sec school, Ukpo, Valentine too fail for many poll unit U sit down for Lagos dey yarn wetin u no know Obi is not a political whatever 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Ohaneze has no influence in politics in Igboland, therefore Iwuanyanwu influence doesn't cross his bedroom. Iwuanyanwu is not even popular. This is 2023, many Igbo people don't know him. Nnamdi Kanu? Not a political lord. He is a terrorist lord. You want Igbo people to speak bad about him in the open so saint unknown gunmen will come after the person? He is never in the ranks of Mandela. Is Kanu popular? Yes, even Osama bin laden was popular. Obi is popular but he's not a political lord. I doubt if he has such ambition to be a political lord. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

KwuoteYourFada: For which Anambra... Name one governor he installed that completed 8 yrs...When he sponsored Tony Nwonye in Obiano 2nd term, Tony Nwonye failed woefully. When he sponsored Soludo the first time, Soludo failed, Obiano beat Soludo hands down No one rivals Peter Obi as of today in Anambra State. He made APGA what it is today. He installed Obiano and Obiano later installed Soludo... 4 Likes 2 Shares |

PressMyButton: Taa mechie gị ọṅụ...who installed Obiano, who brought him back from United States and made him governor. When Obiano wife insisted Victor Umeh. Obiano wanted Soludo because it is the turn of Anambra South. Obiano consulted Peter Obi, who also backed Soludo, although Peter Obi had his former school mate Val Ozigbo in the race under PDP. What happened at the Senatorial elections, how many senators from APGA in Anambra today not even one.. How can you come from Ekiti and be telling me who is who in Anambra State...no be juju be that 1 Like 1 Share |

orohbirodeysmel:You're rambling about aimlessly. In 2017& 2021, Obi went about all the the LGs in Anambra state campaigning for his PDP candidates against Obiano and Soludo YET he failed woefully. In 2017, Obi vowed to fight Obiano with the last drop of his blood and stop his reelection but at the end of the day, his prefered candidate, Oseloka Obaze, came in a distance third.

EmperorCaesar: Voting against Obi candidate was never a vote of no confidence against Obi. You guys don't understand Igbo at all. We voted APGA because Valentine was relatively unknown compared to Soludo and the voters opted for the devil they know. If Soludo falls he will be voted out.

PressMyButton: Still the Obi factor. Majority believe that he is credible, has requisite experience for political leadership. He possess the values a leadership should have to grow a 3rd world economy such as Nigeria. The values of thrift, hard work, compassion, statesmanship, humility, intelligence, what have you. 1 Like |

Jomonix:It shows ibos are politically incapable but are only being sentimental. A party does not make a man but a man makes a party. Your ability to villify an individual just because he belongs to the opposing side makes you shortsighted. The manner at which you flip when you make those choices could not be more ridiculous, it rather exposes your weaknesses. 1 Like 1 Share |
