Ogbonnaya Onu Would’ve Been President In 1999 Instead Of Obasanjo – Shehu Sani by Fareke: 9:18pm On Apr 11 |
A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has said that the late Ogbonaya Onu was displaced from being the President of Nigeria in 1999. https://dailypost.ng/2024/04/11/ogbonnaya-onu-wouldve-been-president-in-1999-instead-of-obasanjo-shehu-sani/ 29 Likes 2 Shares

Tor Ogbonnaya Onu is a classical example that no Igbo man will get anything from this people by remaining in servitude to them. When they make those stupid assertions like “if Igbos want power they must align with the center…they have to vote APC”, I just laugh. Because what they are doing is asking you to come and become their next useful idiot. Onu has been with these guys since 1999. He never defected. His closest friends and allies were northerners but what did he gain at the end? Tears! I saw him crying like an infant suckling his mother’s breast during the APC convention and I couldn’t help but cringe. Nobody acted like he existed. When he was done wailing, he left the stage in shame. Orji Uzor Kalu who has equally been slaving for them since 1999 equally ended in tears when he was crying like a little child they took her biscuit at the floor of the National Assembly. Rochas Okorocha nko? They humiliated him until he respected himself and went and hid in shame. Despite his servitude to them, they sent EFCC to go and remove his zinc and capture and humiliate him like a common criminal. Umahi is on same trajectory and I can already predict how it will end for him - in tears. And I see a lot of people who claim to be Igbos fooling themselves here in the name supporting APC; toeing the same foolish path of the fools before them and I always laugh at them. Igbos will never gain anything being of servitude to this people. If you don’t learn from history, you will just end up as just another historical specimen. 187 Likes 22 Shares |

True.. Onu was the originator of apc. He technically removed PDP from power with his proposal of forming a merger mega party apc but the crefit of forming apc has been stolen and given to other people with propaganda. 44 Likes 2 Shares |

That has been the fate of Igbos since the end of the civil war in 1970. Dr Alex Ekwueme, the first civilian vice president in Nigeria was about to become President after Shagari's tenure in which Shagari confessed that his vice Ekwueme was an excellent man that would succeed him, but as usual, the Northern military boys who played role in the 1966 counter coup that swore that it's better a mad man rules Nigeria than for an excellent Igbo man to emerge Nigeria's President truncated Dr Alex Ekwueme's clear chance of emerging President through Maj. Buhari's led coup. They did same to Peter Obi after he won the election before everybody's eyes yet they will be foolishly praying for Nigeria to become a great country and expect everybody to be patriotic despite being leaders of unpatriotism, division and nepotism in Nigeria. Na here we de observe una sha. RIP Dr Onu, history will remember you for good ![]() My reply to an online cretin below LagosFc:Online cretin. During APC Presidential Primaries in Abuja in 2022, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu stood before the whole world on live broadcast; President Buhari was there, Tinubu your god was there, Prof Osinbajo was there, Rotimi Amaechi was there, Adam's Oshiomhole was there, Bisi Akande was there, and all the known and unknown APC chieftains were there, before them all, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu reminded them how APC was formed and how he Dr Ogbonnaya Onu used his own money to register APC as a party, none of them disputed him there or went to media to dispute him after the Primaries, but here is an unknown online hungry boy famzing his tribesmen in an empty stomach, talking nonsense about things he know nothing about. That is how your Yoruba fathers have been lying to you about Omo Igbo from birth, feeding you young hateful Yorubas with lies just to make you hate Igbos and live in perpetual fear of the great Igbo people, continue, na so your forefather and father did and ended up peasant poverty ridden cocoa farmers who lived and died in Ikirun cocoa farm ![]() 78 Likes 11 Shares |

peleson1:Tinubu got the whole accolade of forming APC simply because he brought billions of Lagos state treasury to fund their media propaganda and character assassination against Goodluck's government using Saharareporters and other mercenaries. Little did Nigerians know that it was Dr Ogbonnaya Onu that brought the money used to register APC as a political party with INEC. My response to all these young, uninformed Yoruba boys who don't know their history and who Igbos are below rantingpigs:Whenever I tell them the truths, they run and hide because they know the truth. On one thread some days back, some uninformed Yoruba boys were mocking Igbos for not producing any dollar billionaire according to Forbes' recently published billionaire list. They mocked Igbos for not having any Igbo man on the list, mocked Igbos for not producing President in 2023 even when they knew Peter Obi won but got cheated. They also mocked Igbos that Igbos are lazy that Igbos only know how to do 4x4 shop trading, that Igbos were poor, miserable before the war that it was after the war ended that Yorubas accommodated Igbos in Lagos that Igbos started seeing money and progress, can you imagine the madness? On that thread, I took them on a memory lane and reminded them that whatever a Yoruba man aspires to become today or in future in Nigeria, that an Igbo man has already became that long time ago. I started with reminding them that: 1.) Igbo man; Sir Louis Odimegwu Ojukwu was the first documented richest black person and richest Nigerian, anybody can Google about this. The man was so rich that when Queen Elizabeth first visited Nigeria, Nigeria as a country didn't have a befitting car to ferry the Queen around, so Sir Louis Ojukwu donated his Rolls Royce car which was used to carry Queen Elizabeth about. The man even got official request from British government during world war II to assist Britain with transport logistics in Africa and Louis Ojukwu donated hundreds of his Ojukwu transport company trucks which were used to move Nigerian soldiers that fought on the side of Britain in Burma. 2.) Igbo man was the first Nigerian Governor General of Nigeria and first civilian President of Nigeria, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe. 3.) An Igbo man was the first Military President or Head of state of Nigeria, Maj. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi 4.) An Igbo man was the first civilian vice president of Nigeria; Dr Alex Ekwueme 5.) An Igbo man was the first Chief of Army Staff in Nigeria; Maj. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi 6.) An Igbo man was the first Senate President in Nigeria; Chief Nwafor Orizu 7.) An Igbo man was the first indigenous Army General in Nigeria; Maj Gen Aguiyi Ironsi 8.) An Igbo man was the first African, and first black African to become Secretary General of Commonwealth of Nations; Sir Emeka Anyaoku and many more yet these cretins keep on wasting their life and time hating on a formidable Igbo people they are only trying to catch up and outsmart through political gangup and treachery ![]() 56 Likes 5 Shares |

Military never wanted Falae, the only person they wanted was OBJ. APP merged with AD being the stronger party and then produced the presidential candidate. Falae was more influential than Onu at the time. 142 Likes 10 Shares |

No way Onu could have won anything in 1999, even the alliance between AD and APP got like 13m less votes than PDP. Is Sani trying to say APP alone could have won the election or what? Plus Onu was not known outside the SE, even now, many people have never heard of that name before. 137 Likes 11 Shares |

Late Ogbonnaya Onu was a first class graduate, but he wasn't a spectacular civil servant. As a science and technology minister, he was busy talking about when Nigeria will start producing ordinary pencils. Please we don't just need anyone bearing Igbo names to add to the litany of problems we are already dealing with in this country. We need outstanding Igbo administrators like Peter Obi, Dave Umahi and Alex Otti to show Nigerians what a competent president should do for the people. RIP to Engr Ogbonnaya Onu! 10 Likes 1 Share |

what is your goal Mr Shehu Sani... I just feel instead of making all this irrelevant statement on social media, it would have been better for you to look inward and see how you can redeem your influence as a political figure in your state so you can come back and continue pushing your career... Dino and Patrick wanted to change the system by fighting the Mob of corrupt politicians but they failed, same as you.. they have all kept quiet I expect you to do the same or go about executing projects, personal projects to revive your image... 5 Likes 1 Share |

The Igboman keep making sacrifices in this nation but when it gets to their turn, they are told to do this, do that and do this. A lot of people never knew Ogbonnaya Onu used his personal money to register APC. He was among the finest politicians ever in the history of this country. He would have been one of the most brilliant Presidents this country would have ever produced. Imagine having a leader like him at the begining of our 1999 democracy. Rest in Peace Sir. 7 Likes |
