Amarabae:
boring propaganda dead on arrival.
The north desperately love a One Nigeria, after their tenure, they will shift it to the south east inorder to stop this seccession agitation.
I see a northerner taking APC flag in 2019 together with a South East VP.
Go and read the history of politics in this country or read about the emergeance of Shehu shagari as President.

Lol,under APC??

Are u kidding me,the only candidate APC can produce in east is okorocha and he has declared that he won't run for presidency till 2023,if u think APC will give ticket to any igbo man in 2019 u are high of fermented drugs....

I don't knw PDP permutation, but APC...

Tonye, I initially condemned your opinion, then doing a political mathematics based on your suggestion, I would say for political justice to prevail in a country like ours that places priority on political balancing act than effective leadership, i submit to your suggestion.

A North-East ticket is what will douse and appease frayed nerves.
The irony of a nation.

Fight to be the head, abi North get two heads nii?

so you people dont want your POTOPOTO Republic again abi?

FLATINOES cant to making me life

As long as Afonjas keep resisting Biafra, Igbos must rule Nigeria including Yorubas and then restructure the country.

Kwankwaso/ Peter Obi will make sense to me.

It will be in the interest of Yemi Osibanjo not to contest the election of 2019 under the platform of the APC, if Buhari will not be seeking reelection. The Northern Elders Forum and some northerners are monitoring the situation as it unfold.

Is not about being power struck or anything! Is about the principles of fairness and justice.

Kwankwaso is a performer. I happen to benefit from a lot of his educational policies while he was governor. He is a man of his words. He transformed our ancient town of Kano within just four (4) years. He showed us it can be done. This he did under an enormous level of insecurity as the result of the Boko Haram attacks. We can write a 20 volume book on his achievements.

Peter Obi is great man. He transform Anambra despite being an opposition governor. He is business man of integrity and clout. He has foresight and very dedicative.

God bless Nigeria.

Mad man.

A credible Northerner that will do only 4years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biafraudster cannot be our VP. The Northerner MUST pick Osinbajo.

In 2023, it will be a Yoruba Presidential Aspirant vs Anywhere that choose to contest from the SOuth.

Just hear yourself. Isn't it obvious that you are stupid and sense is far from you? So imagine that you are Osinbajo, having gathered enough experience in the capacity of Vice president, isn't it logical that you succeed the president if for any reason you have to remain in power, than for someone from nowhere coming to be your superior all because of this malady I call socio-ethnic bigotry When will you even get sense sef?

Tonyebarcanista, it's safe to say that you're an enigmatic pseudointellectual. Observe that this is silmutaneously complementary and sort of derogatory.


You're an enigma (at least on this forum) because you're an aberration from the ubiquitous IPOB, Igbo, afonja, SS, aboki classification on here, as you've never openly supported any other than your unwavering PDP/GEJ allegiance, which I understand and commend because of brotherhood.


You're a pseudointellectual because in your attempt to prove your mettle to your offline benefactor, you continually come up with low-brainer, half-baked and illogical syllogisms based on faulty and invalid analogies and hypotheses.


Atiku, Ribadu, Lamido, El Rufai, Akume, Kwankwaso, Mu'azu, Masari, Tambuwal, David Mark etc. please tell me which Northern element is 'credible' for 2019?

TonyeBarcanista, you politicians should stop confusing yourselves. If you people want to be really fair to all the regions of this country, why not put this zoning into the Constitution and how it should rotate after two terms?

Now Buhari most likely wont run for a second term and you are advocating for a replacement from the North. No replacement will agree to a one term offer. That means the North will be there for three terms instead of two.

Let the law be set so that it is clear that the Presidency for a particular number of years can only go to a particular region. This will make all the political parties present candidates from that region only.

When two terms are done, it rotates to another region for two terms. All this one you people are doing is Ojoro.

It's a pity that those who seem the most educated are the most ignorant! Who cares about the North, South East, South West or Whatever, what Nigeria should be praying for is good capable leaders. Tribal sentiments and religious bigotry is what got us in this mess, when will you people open your eyes and use your brains for once? What a DAMN SHAME

O WI RE, IRO O LA LAFIA.

checkolatunji:

Your resistance to Biafra will definitely lead to an Igbo man ruling you and your family

So you have 2 choices

1) Stop opposing Biafra and avoid an Igbo rule

2) Oppose Biafra and live Igbos rule

All of a sudden people remember something called zoning said to be for equity. This is d same thing d south east declared as dead for Jonathan. U can't eat ur cake and have it NY brothers.

Will you say this if the presidency only comes from the East who has the best minds

nwabobo:

Did NADECO build alliances?

The entire nation decided to zone the 99 presidential ticket to the west so as to compensate for the injustices meted against Mko.

NADECO were the fore-fronters in demanding for it.

Sensual:


Jonathan was a mere VP when he defeated buhari.
Buhari has nothing good to show when it comes to leadership. He was a traitor and a dictator, and with the way things are going under his leadership now, Majority of Nigerians will rather vote a madman as president than the dullard.
Politics is not just all about who are mates and whatnot, it's also about who connects with the people the most, and that's what osinbajo has started doing. Interacting with market women at Garki, going to calabar, administering projects etc... he is paying way for his political future already, that's if he wants to run.

People are loving him to the detriment of the cabal.
So stay there and be comparing mates while osinbajo becomes your next president.
This was exactly how Buhari grabbed the masses. Oh the irony

Er, just one correction. GEJ was President when he defeated GMB, not a "mere" VP. He became President in May 2010 after Yar Adua died. The elections held in 2011.

Useless country, you guys are all bastards

Right now, there is no electricity at my house and we are running on batteries. I come online and this is what I see

Bastards!!

No light, no water, currency sliding, inflation rising... Yet u bastards are here arguing about what TRIBE will produce a president.

How demented u guys must be.

Disgusting filthy third world pieces of shhhit

So I guess there would be no need for a presidential debate right, since u guys already know the tribe the presidency will come from.

Isn't is funny that in both previous elections, the candidates that didn't attend presidential debates, eventually won the election

That is to show you how demented Nigerians are, fully lacking in any form of reasoning. Bastards that failed to fully evolve and are stuck midway between Apes and Humans

Ediots

No talk of problems and who has the solutions

Just ediocy here and there

Bastards, all of u

Spits on this fvcking thread and in the faces of all u pathetic, illiterate bastards

Kathmandu:
Osibanjo is not making moves to contest for presidency so i don't see the reason behind this topic.


Osibanjo is not a politician that can muzzle out the North who are fuming under for another of their Son about to turn vegetable in Aso rock.


Tonye lets focus on watching this government and do the needful in 2019 instead of doing Nairaland Political Godfather now

Simply put, osibanjo dont have the balls!!

GEJ was also not a politician but he broke through.

Some people are just educated illiterate, thinking that an ability to construct tenses can make them foster their stupid opinion on others who are well read than them.

If you say southwest ruled for almost 11 years, can you give me the total number of years combined together that the Northern part has ruled this county from the year of independence and of what benefit has it offered the nation rather than retrogression. Look for a competent hand to manage the affair of the nation regardless of the part of the country they come from and stop your ignominy.

TonyeBarcanista:
By TonyeBarcanista



When he was first elevated to the status of Acting President on 19 January 2017, Professor Yemi Osinbajo embarked on a tour on Niger Delta region. His entourage included Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Ikachukwu; Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, as well as the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs. A move seen as a welcomed development by the good people of Niger Delta who saw it as a new chapter to finding lasting solution to the seemingly unending Niger Delta question. Not one of the rhetorical promises made to the people of Niger Delta by Acting President Osinbajo was ever fulfilled or rather, is yet to be fulfilled.

Some of us, however, suspected that the Osinbajo was neither interested in proffering solution to the Niger Delta question but to start a clandestine move to build his political capital ahead of 2019 Presidential election having read his body language.

As Vice President and sensing that President Buhari is/may be medically unfit to stand for re-election in 2019, Professor Yemi Osinbajo shifted his attention to build network in the north all for 2019.

On Thursday April 13, he went to Adamawa state to acquire the title of "Jagaban of Adamawa Emirate". Only yesterday, he went to Cross river state to collect another traditional title in Efik kingdom, Ada Idaha Ke Efik Eburutu. For what reason if not political?

While I recognize that the Nigeria Constitution gives Yemi Osinbajo the right to contest for any office, including the Presidency, I must also state that his clandestine moves to succeed Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 is counterproductive to the interest of Nigerians and threat to the unity of our country, this is aside his sheer incompetency in public service since he assumed office as Vice President, Chairman of National Planning Commission and Chairman of National Economic Council.

This article is not to talk about his preference for employing only people of his Yoruba ethnic group as Personal Aides, all these are stories for some other time. This article is strictly about the injustice that his Presidency will mean to the rest of the country if we allow it to materialise.

1. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE SOUTH
In the history of Nigeria, the Southwest and Yoruba nation have led the country for a combined period of 11 years and 11 months; Chief Olusegun Obasanjo held sway for 11 years and 8 months (8 years as President and 3 years and 8 months as Military ruler) while Ernest Shonekan held sway for 3 months.

Meanwhile, the South-south only led Nigeria for only 5 years and 25 days through Goodluck Jonathan, while the Southeast has NEVER led the country in Executive capacity save the 7 months under the military reign of General Aguiyi Ironsi.

Under this present democratic dispensation, SW and Yoruba nation has led the country for 8 years and has been occupying the Vice President office since 2015.

The Southsouth led the country for only 5 years and 25 days and occupied the office of Vice President for 3 years through Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

The Southeast has neither produced the President nor the Vice President.

Being a multi-ethnic region, it will be highly unfair for one region and ethnic group to seek to occupy the slot of the South in the Presidency in 2019 irrespective of whether it is the office of the President or the Vice President. It will amount to injustice to the ethnic nationalities in the South save the Yoruba for Yemi Osinbajo to succeed Buhari in 2019..

2. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE NORTH:
Since the return of this democratic dispensation in 1999, while the South enjoyed power for a total of 13 years (SW 8, SS 5), while the north only did for 5 years and counting through late Umaru Musa Yar’adua (3 years) and Muhammadu Buhari (2 years and counting). If the status quo remains till 2019, the north will haul a meager combined period of 7 years; a far cry when compared with the 13 years that the South held sway.

It is both morally and politically just that the North be allowed to produce the President of Nigeria come 2019 for another 4 years period. We must realize that injustice is injustice anywhere. Allowing Osinbajo, a Yorubaman/Southerner to succeed Buhari in 2019 will only cause disaffection among those in the northern part of the country. There will be feelings of marginalization will crept in. This is a situation the country cannot afford to entertain at this period.

MY SUPPORT FOR NORTH/SOUTHEAST TICKET IN 2019
Nigeria belongs to everybody, it does not belong to a section of the country. While it is fair for power to remain in the north, it is also fair for the Southeast to be part of the equation after years of absence. The only way to allow justice prevail is for a North/Southeast Presidency in 2019.

This arrangement, I strongly believe will calm the nerves of the people of the Southeast, give the Igbo people a sense of ownership in the Nigeria project and a sense of belonging in the affairs of Nigeria.

The Yoruba nation has always stood for justice, I am optimistic that they will stand for what is right come 2019. I have no doubt in my mind that they will not oppose the aspiration of a credible aspirant from the northern extraction and an Igbo man to assume the office of the President and Vice President respectively in 2019.





May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

Just another means of creating cracks between Osibanjo and pmb, seeing that both of them enjoy a good relationship.

Your article lacks sense

PapaBrowne:
This kind of Slavery!

And if the next Northern president gets sick or passes away in power, we have to bend over backwards again just so the power hungry North gets power again and the cycle goes on and on.
And the annoying thing is that if you recommend a middle beltan as President, that same North would fight aggressively against it.

Isn't it time we all realize that producing the president doesn't add any benefit whatsoever to the region the president comes from.

Jonathan was president for 5 years yet his home state Bayelsa didn't an extra kilometer of road nor did it get a single percent rise in its HDI as a result of his presidency. Rather, Benin Ore road was fixed, Abuja-Kaduna rail was built, and a whole lot else was done elsewhere. The South South as a whole benefitted too little.

Obasanjo was President for 8 years, Ogun got absolutely nothing. Visit Otta and you'd understand the paradox. The roads to Otta is terrible. Obasanjo rather focused his energies on the Niger Delta.

Then Katsina state. The state has produced the 2 northern presidents who have ruled the country for 5 years in the last 10 years. But not a single industry, not a single infrastructure project, not a single improvement in HDI.

Isn't it time we realized that what we need is restructuring this country along the lines of the six geopolitical zones and having leaders in the mound of Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo etc all leading thier respective zones competitively?

There is no reason why Osibanjo should be prevented from contesting if his performance is on point.

you said only ironsi ruled Nigeria,, how about Nnamdi Azikiwe....you have home problem

@OP this is very first thread that you have created that has made sense to me.
