Good question, thinking about his I believed that Igbos were focused on the PDP guaranteeing us the presidency and may not have even noticed how the presidency guarantee was not part of the (new at the time)1999 constitution. When Obasanjo handed over to YaraDua it must have been a big betrayal to Igbos, who voted PDP because of their clause in the PDP constitution to rotate the presidency. They even continued to religiously support PDP in 2019 when it selected Atiku but with Peter Obi as vice-president. I guess PDP failing to give the presidential ticket to Igbos in 2023 must have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. Salewa97: |

mrvitalis:don't compare achievements, it doesn't mean u are winning, it's a sign of low intelligence, that is why u Igbo lose in everything, cos u love to measure shoulders. Reno is a winner, Ngozi Iweala is also. Reno didn't to Obi what he did to Buhari. He has only criticized Obi so far and bring facts to defend his claim, in case of Buhari, Reno didn't just criticize but also insulted him and even went as far as called his cattle "homosexual cows" And this was the time u all loved Reno, hypocrites 4 Likes |

First of all, you inadvertently agree that you lied about Obj writing his own constitution for Nigeria. In this new lie, you say Obj could have changed a constitution by inserting a section just to please you. Now, if you know how Nigeria is run presently, you would know that to change the constitution, you will have to go down up to the level of State Houses of Assembly of the 36 states before anything can be done, yet you want Obj to just go to his bedroom and edit the constitution just to make you happy.

Do not let them sell you a big lie by hiding it inside many statements so that it sounds like the truth. The first question you should ask that fellow was in what debate did Obi defeat Osingbajo? Man to man, starboy diismattled Obi when he was using container economics to try to explain macro and micro economics. Even then, upon further review, it was noticed that many of the statistics that Obi was churning out, turned out to either be outright lies or at best lambas. Wainey: 4 Likes |

Did Obj try to amend the 1999 constitution to insert the guarantee presidency and failed? No! If you are the new president when a new constitution is introduced, you cannot pretend that you have no power to choose what the constitution that is being introduced with your presidency is like. You really believe that the military generals who selected Obasanjo, never got his input on abandoning Abacha's draft constitution and replacing it with the 1999 constitution that gives Igbos no guarantee of the presidency? Is that what you think? 9jatriot: |

franchasofficia:How is Buhari sworn enemy of Igbo? Buhari twice made Igbo men his vice in two occasion he pursued his presidential ambition before he won at the last attempt. At each of these attempt the Igbo refused to vote for him. The truth is that if they had voted for him that would have been the shortest way to realization of Igbo presidency. If Igbo were his sworn, do you think he would have even attempted to make them his vice? Rather, the fact shows that the Igbo have decided to make Buhari their sworn enemy for reasons known among the Igbo themselves. You can't hate someone but expect him to love you back. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

OALandAgents:Obasanjo as the president elect had ample time to insist on introducing Abacha's 1995 draft constitution instead of the hurriedly re-hatched 1979 constitution that was presented and implemented as the 1999 constitution. He should implement the draft constitution of same Sani Abacha that incarcerated him? 3 Likes |

So the only way you think you can get your tribal candidate is through zoning ? And afterwards you will say that's democratic ? Citing being victims of tribalism and demanding full tribalism to assume the seat of power exposes how daft you sound. This is how your politicians both in the PDP and APC were demanding for the ticket to be zoned to you guys. If you think anyone will just hand you power because it is your turn as you claim, then you are all heavily delusional. 4 Likes 1 Share |

In a political system that operates tribalism, enshrining rotational presidency in the constitution is a very reasonable way to ensure every geopolitical zone gets a fair opportunity to hold the presidency. AntiMarxist: |

It was not Abacha's draft constitution, rather it is Nigeria's draft constitution, that is why doing what is best for the country should be prioritize above personal squabbles and egos. blacknp: |
