So, he would sell Enugu short for his personal interest.

The PDP primaries was broadcasted all over the world. Imagine the kind of media publicity and free advertising hosting such event could have done for Enugu.

There is a reason Nations and cities choose to host events that would be globally broadcasted, despite the huge cost that would be incurred in puting necessary infrastructure, organization and security on ground.

Until proven otherwise, Ugwuanyi goofed big time. And this must be condemned if it were made for selfish interests considerations.
A good Governor must always try to market his state to the world.

U think igbo go better on nairaland..

Better go fix ur brain and start thinking

For us nairaland is just a relaxation centre morelike a playground.

Do you know the amount of money the event will bring into the city? Another news have that only enugu votes was shared in SE while atiku won by a eide margin in others. Wike and Ugwuani were working together for Tambuwal. While Wike is hustling gor VP it's unclear what ugwuanyi was promised

We are an important factor in igboland that's y ur so called kanu called for election boycott in annambra state but was heavily disgraced by the turnout of overwhelming electorates.

pazienza:
In civilized climes. This accusation is grave and must be investigated by the opposition parties.

Ndi Enugu deserve to know why Ugwuanyi shortchanged the entire state of the opportunity to gain from such money spinning event like PDP primaries. As well as denying the state the opportunity for undivided media coverage and advertisement of her potentials and positive strides.

We cant allow these political office holders in Igboland, keep making selfish decisions that is detrimental to the rest of us.

We need to start holding these people accountable.

Yes. Politicians only become useful to the society when held accountable for their actions by well informed society, via vibrant opposition politics and mass campaign.

It's not as if he has committed a heinous crime bro. All na politics

The convention has come and gone, what we should be focusing on now is to present an able man or woman who will be made the VP.


Pdp will be handling SE to Apc if they fail to appiont a VP from SE.

Is it that costly an event to host?

Were the delegates fed by Rivers state government.

Other than just providing a suitable venue and security, were there other monetary commitment involved?

Cjrane2:


Bros,
Please don't trust these yoruba Lagos-Ibadan express road press. They always write everything as though "Igbo" made some mistake and it is Yoruba that has sense.

Meanwhile, the same Atyiku the bastardized so much in the media, watch how they will try to lure him with praises to choose a Yoruba running mate. Once he does not, which i know he would not, they will turn into vicious dogs again and say how corrupt he is and how he is on FBI most corrupt list etc.

Please stop being easily swayed by these people's well crafted write up. It is exactly engineered to make you reason that there is always a single right option for every problem which is fundamentally false.

First of all, we will do well to denounce any attempt by anyone to sell the SE/SS fraud.

There is no SE/SS. What we have is SE and SS.

SS produced PDP VP in 2007 , the last time PDP produced a Northern presidential candidate. Edwin Clark made sure Ijaws took the SS slot.

For equity, justice and fairness, the VP slot must be conceded to SE by PDP.

If they don't, we leave them to their fate and try to negotiate a truce with Buhari.

In 2023, APC would produce a Yoruba President, then we can again make demand for a PDP VP slot.

I can't even believe SS persons are eyeing the VP slot. How the hell could they even be thinking of such? Do they take us for fools?

GuyWise:

You are right, the Igbos from SS? must not try to fool us again to collect the VP slot, it will be highly rejected.

The Igbo from SS should behave, they already enjoy PDP chairmanship. They should leave VP slot to SE Igbo abeg.

GuyWise:

That's the point we are not going to drag it with anybody.

The date was December 2010. It was the year an Ijaw man by the name GEJ came to visit Ojukwu and seek for the Igbo support in his agenda to succeed late Yaradua as elected Nigerian President, which would involve destroying the PDP zoning formulae, which stipulated that the North should complete their 8years tenure before power could return to the South in 2015, with SE being a strong contender for presidential slot, in 2015, should power return to the South.

Events leading to GEJ visit to Ojukwu was chaotic. A group of Igbo elders who were of the opinion that Ndiigbo would enter into a political wilderness should their help GEJ usurp the PDP zoning formulae, and sought to reach out to Northern elders in stopping GEJ ascension, led by the likes of Ekwueme, were locked out of their Concorde hotel Owerri state venue for their meeting, under the instruction of Ohakim, who it was rumoured, was working in consonance with GEJ.

These were the events that preceded GEJ visit to Ojukwu (Eze Igbo Gburugburu) at his Enugu residence.

Once at Enugu GEJ started the "I am Igbo" deception message.
Let's hear him out :

: “I am here to inform the people of the South East that I and Vice President Namadi Sambo are vying for presidency and to seek the support of the South East zone. I believe you will support us because I am one of you. I consider himself as an Igbo man because of the circumstances of my birth and I believe you all regard me as your own son.”

And this was how it began. The news spread wide and near that GEJ is one of us, an Igbo man. You see, we had reduced the Igbo tag to such a cheap commodity that everybody can now come and tell us they are Igbo. We even those who are Igbos at convenient time, and non Igbos when It was no longer convenient.
We threw caution to the wind. We opened our hands and accepted the "non Igbo" Igbo man, relegating our own group agenda to the background. Yet, the elders amongst us warned us about the consequences of our actions then, but we were too myopic to see the future.
