Igbos Should Forget About 2019 Presidential Seat by Babatundepet: 6:54am On Dec 19, 2017

Former president of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife, on Sunday advised Igbo politicians planning to contest the presidency in 2019 to bury the thought.

Ikedife’s advice came a few days after the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Chief Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, said APGA was considering the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano,

as its presidential standard bearer in the 2019 general elections.

Ikedife who spoke with our correspondent in his Nnewi home said the odds favoured the northern part of the country for the 2019 presidency.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and others coming from the north had better chances.

“I won’t advise any Igbo to pick a form for the presidential race. It’s a waste to do so.

“APGA can go ahead and field any candidate from Igbo to vie for it. It has such an inalienable right to field anybody as its candidate in the election but I don’t know what makes them think that Obiano would win.”

He argued that it was after a second term in office of Buhari that the South-East could start talking of the presidency.

He said, “The North has produced a president who has just done one term. But it is becoming a convention that any zone that produces a president does two terms.

“I don’t see why the APC should not want to go for two terms. When the North has had two terms following the

convention, the presidency should come to the south, and south east, willy-nilly.”

While advising the Igbo to be patient, Ikedife said what was important for the Igbo was “unity, speaking with one voice on national issues.”

He added that the Igbo should identify and lend their support to any of the presidential candidates from the north who would recognise the economic and infrastructure deficits in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.

He noted that the seeming marginalisation of the Igbo would be assuaged, “when you know that your country cares for you. What stops you from being patriotic? If a man treats you as a son, the tendency is to see him as a father.”

Better to allow those who cannot survive without free oil money to continue ruling. If an igbo man rules Nigeria for a year, he will be blamed for all the mistakes in Nigeria government since 1970.

Better let them finish themselves while we watch and strategize .

The good people of Urhobo should stop you from rubbing their good name in the mud. Attack Igbo with your tribe well known not hiding as an Urhobo to attack then Igbos will be replying Urhobo not knowing you are an afonjinjin. grin

This is the most sensible Igbo man I've seen over the years but unfortunately your brothers are more interested in positions than infrastructure.

If positions amount to development, Igbos and the North should have been the most developed regions in the country. In fact, Igbos would have been competing with South Africa with the type of positions they got under GEJ.

Let Igbos continue to think of Presidency and VP while we in the West Side will continue to fight for projects.

As it stands today, Igboland is much more developed than your south west. Igboland is doing well, worry more about your region. Position or no position.

If Na How to insult Yoruba and Hausa and make noise is how to become president, Ibo should have been president long ago.
Until you all realise that they don’t just award Presidency to anyone because of sentiments, but cold and calculated work convincing other Nigerians, you all will keep getting disappointed.
