Yorubas Have Played Opposition For Years And Didn’t Perish, Igbokwe Tells Ndigbo by bettercreature(m): 5:04pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has admonished all Igbo politicians to do what is honorable, and maintain their integrity by assisting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in building an impenetrable opposition instead of defecting to the APC which is the ruling party, all in the name of financial gain and business interests. Igbokwe confirmed this as the only way the party can be taken seriously and accorded respect via an article titled, ‘Can the Igbo play opposition for the next 10 years’, the APC chieftain maintained that the Igbo would not die if they are not in the APC or part of the government. He opined that, “After all, the Yoruba have been in the opposition for a long time—since the 1960s, and they have not perished. Let the Igbo work with other PDP leaders across Nigeria to start strategising to reposition, rebrand, and rebuild the PDP. This is the way to political rebirth and redemption. If you have bushes to clear, you have to sharpen your cutlass very well.” Igbokwe also drew attention to the shameful attitude of many Igbo politicians, who were searching for ways to defect to the APC, out of regret, following the loss of Goodluck Jonathan at the presidential election. He revealed that not long after President Muhammadu Buhari defeated Jonathan on March 28, there was widespread panic among the Igbo politicians, businessmen, women and the traders. Advertisement He said, “I remember a night in the house of a very successful Igbo trader in Ikoyi shortly after the presidential election, when it became obvious that President Buhari had carried the day. They gathered to contribute money to support the APC. Even those who travelled home for the Easter holiday donated money from the East just to belong. I felt ashamed that my people couldn’t defend their honour and integrity even in the time of trouble. “After the 2015 election, when the Igbo lost their resources by putting all their eggs in one basket, many Igbo leaders claimed that the Igbo made the right political choices given the circumstances on the ground then. Yes, the Igbo have said they voted right, but in action and in deed, they have been busy looking for ways to sneak into the APC. “On Saturday, July 25, 2015, a group that worked against the APC in Lagos called Igbo United Political Forum organised a programme to honor Governor Rochas Okorocha. Behind the smokescreen was an attempt to sneak through the back door to the APC, having missed the front door on March 28 and April 11, 2015. The organisers reaped what they sowed, as all the APC leaders they invited stayed away. “They licked their wounds and went home to cry. Time and space will not permit me to recall various moves our people have made to find their way to the APC. Those who are still very angry about the colossal loss have pitched their tent with the Biafra mantra. When we lose out in national politics as a result of myopic and timid political thinking and calculation, the next move is to resort to ethnic politics. Nobody is deceived.” http://www.today.ng/politics/08054320-yorubas-played-opposition-years-didnt-perish-igbokwe-tells-ndigbo/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter 5 Likes |

If IGBO is now a political party rather than ethnic group; then IGBO should be accorded the only viable ethnic group to the sustainability of nigeria democracy. |

Igbokwe needs to awake! His myopic mind still makes him think Biafra is a political movement. Biafra is asking for freedom. Joe Igbokwe has still not said anything concerning referendum though he agrees in his earlier wacky article that we have been marginalised. Joe Igbokwe, tete nura! Though you think you have arrived because APC has won the presidency,I dey laugh you. IPOB Youth 4 Likes 1 Share |

The parentage, especially the paternity of this jackass called Joe Igbokwe, should be examined. During the second term of the ninny named OBJ, every politician of Yoruba descent including the political party in the southwestern region of Nigeria became PDP. 1 Like |
