phase1:


You only became 'consequential' in 2015, just once in the history of Nigerian elections and you think you've arrived? But before then the East have been 'consequential', determining your fate and choosing your leaders for you while you struggled in the backwaters of opposition politics.

If yorubas were as 'consequential' as you posit, Awo and Mko would have been presidents. You only won election JUST ONCE in your national life as nigerians, and that was just yesterday in 2015. Sounds like you are the inconsequential one here historically.

Grab your history book buddy.

l laugh you, so ibo man has been president of Nigeria? Hahahaha, ceremonial nomination is not presidency, such position has been rejected over and over again in other countries e.g Zimbabwe, pls check, absolutely nothing in it. Ibo man man has never been anything important in Nigeria. You lack knowledge and history. No one wants to associate with you, because of your attitude. Attitude is altitude

emerged01:

Lol! Fashola is never too big to campaign by all means for a man who made him a super minister.

lol.... why not list things Buhari has done or will do to campaign instead of going tribal??

Binikingdowm:
Like I said before tinubu,fashola and co are playing and fooling around..

A Yoruba Man Can't Be President In 2023.

It's impossible so after been president for 8 years and maybe vice president for 8 years and want to be president again, that's impossible..

The south sees the Yorubas as betrayer and they have proven it over and over again..

For example Buhari wins and power return to the south the yorubas can't convince any southern tribe to join their charade..

They are playing themselves..

There are more than 100 tribes in the south and you think we are stupid to allow only Yoruba rule?

I prefer a Fulani to rule us till forever than a Yoruba man to win 2023 presidency..

Remove Southwest from Nigeria will do fine but remove any tribe in south and see how it will crush..

The yorubas are always the odd one out..

God bless the Benin kingdom

God bless the urhobo

God bless the igbo

God bless the itshekiri

God bless the Niger deltans

No arguemenent in this , I believe that you are still a nonentity in your region. . pls , rewind your life backward and see what yorubas did and still doing in Nigeria politics. Yoruba was president for 8 years with 2 IBOs impeached as a senator, okadigbo and ayim Pius , yet another man from ur region or whatsoever GEJ left no reputation for anybody from that ur region to fall on..northerners, including central, they left PDP at that time coz of GEJ e.g sanusi lamido, atiku, elrufai and co.. even the problems IBO will face about presidency will come from ur region again. coz u guys called IBO don't know what u want . is it Biafra or presidency.? coz I don't know ur problem ... Kanu agitation will affect any IBO ambition for presidency
. do u think northerners will support easterners for presidency over westerners? don't be deceived ,

resurgent4oodua:


Next year is not far na. May God guide all of us.

If Atiku doesn't win, you can join the igbos in their Biafra protests.

#istandwithbuharitill2023

Dont mind them jare

Well said Fashola, we Yorubas have heard and we will deliver on election day

Vote who you like Yorubas have decided to vote for their son Yemi Osinbajo

asuustrike1:

South west will never smell that seat if don't put themselves in order. The Northern are very smart. They might project a middle belt man for presidency if this madness continue

Quit threatening a big tribe like the yorubas. We can handle our sh!t in Nigeria.

We are voting for Buhari in 2019 and we would vigorously pursue the Presidency in 2023.

Igbos are too small to threaten us. We would not abdicate the Presidency for the igbos. They must contest like al southern tribes for the ticket.

it is welcome, as long as it is not SE

you try to vote out somebody that doesnt even care about you....

how can you be wishin somebody dead while he was ill...??

why should buhari care about una now.....??

thats very disrespectful what una did back then because ipob said so....

buhari is confident enough to think he doesnt need votes from south east to win.....

God punish those words emanating from Your useless sarcastic dumb mouth...

BabaO2:
poor reasoning, Tofa from Kano contested against Abiola, he lost woefully all over even in Kano except in South East. Samething is coming into play.

Tofa lost because of Abiola picked kingibe who had the pdm structure bequeathed to him. give me the name of any yoruba that can defeat kwankwanso or tambuwal without vote from SE/SS

davodyguy:
Before nko?

No Hausa would allow Ndigbo rule Nigeria

Trust me. There is more hatred between Igbo and Hausa

This kind of comment is always coming from Yorubas, not Hausas, not Igbos.
Millions of Hausas are living peacefully in the east, millions of Igbos are living peacefully in the North

Afenifere signed on behalf of Yorubas.

Its like saying Ipod signed document(s) on behalf of Igbo's,does it makes sense?

emerged01:

Who is Obasanjo? Obasanjo that couldn't construct road leading to his farm. Obasanjo has no reputation in ota not to talk of Yoruba land.

you people are know for double speak. Obj is a nobody yet you people voted for him in 2003 when he contested against buhari.

It's one thing if the likes of say Tinubu or Aregbesola made statements like this. Fashola is a serving cabinet member of this administration: one perceived as being strongly Igbophobic. And one of the most prominent ones for that matter with a highly strategic portfolio. To be playing tribal politics is pretty distasteful and lacks class. An abdication of his responsibility to Nigerians. He's actually been one of few Nigeria politicians I have some regard for, but he's disappointed me. Focus on your job.

IamAtikulate:

I guess you are a yoruba moslem. Yorubas are not smart. If they do, they would have known supporting Buhari is a political suicide.

am not yoruba and much less a moslem....

i am those you wan add to your biafran wet dreams.....my area dey their....makin deltans like me to enemy by identity deny is rubbish.....

it will not work....

we deltans are many......

The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian government, extends over about 70,000 km2 (27,000 sq mi) and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers States. In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime included Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River State, Edo, Imo and Ondo States in the region. Some 31 million people[2] of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Yoruba, Oron, Ijaw, Ikwerre, Abua/Odual, Itsekiri, Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani, Kalabari, Okrika and Ogoni, are among the inhabitants of the political Niger Delta, speaking about 250 different dialects.

The Niger Delta, and the South South geopolitical zone (which contains six of the states in Niger Delta) are two different entities. The Niger Delta separates the Bight of Benin from the Bight of Bonny within the larger Gulf of Guinea.

IamAtikulate:

Which year again was that again? We are not in the ancient times again. Wake up.

Without the SE/SS, South West can not win anything. Moslem norths cannot leave Kwankwaso or Tambuwal to vote for Osinbanjo. Go and check the bill the North almost passed when it was rumored that Buhari is dead.

The North that you think hate Saraki were positioning to make him President.

Even on Saraki, politically he's a north central man, by tribe he's a Yoruba man, hope you know.

BabaO2:
it is welcome, as long as it is not SE

Don't worry because the south east will get the ticket

obonujoker:

Do you think his comment is tribal? No,I don't see it as tribal. It is the reality. Southwest needs to come on board 2023. We can't trade our future for a position of SGF. Think am bro!

Re election of Buhari is a Patriotic duty.

Patriots are ready to defend this great nation from looters who have regrouped to hijack power to protect their stolen wealth.

So sorry Fashola, I kind of like you but what you just suggested is tantamount to hate speech. Please stop it

resurgent4oodua:


Yorubas will not fall for your cheap blackmail. Igbos can vote Atiku if they want. We would stick with Buhari/Osinbajo. Thanks but no thanks!

#istandwithbuharitill2023

I am addressing a serving Minister of Nigeria, and it happens that he is a tribalist and sectional person, I cautioned Fashola because I am not a tribalist, I am a global citizen and I have the right to say anything I like with a Serving Minister. I do not play una tribal politics So minions like you who are local tribalists there in Nigeria, can continue to be local fools who think tribe is relevant in the scheme of life.

I am not Igbo, so stop looking stupid before me. Some of you think you Yorubas and Igbos alone are Nigerians, other tribles are quiet and working hard but you Yorubas and Igbos are busy making noise and insulting yourselves.

Una no dey shame ?

What has his comment got to do with igbos?

He was speaking to his yoruba base in Ibadan.

Igbos are just apprehensive about 2023 for no reason. The office of President is open for all southern tribes in 2023 and we would not succumb to any igbo blackmail.

SW will never win election in SE, pls stop mixing things SS is not SE. Don't you know your identity again, the more reason Sunday Olize disgraced you openly. " Pls I am not Ibo"

phase1:
Tommorow when he comes out for VP or presidency, the East and the rest of the south will remind him of this comment.

If Peter Obi had made this comment, zombies like butterflyleo, rusher12, passingshot deomelo and their co zombies will capitalize on it for propaganda to call him a 'tribalist' just the way they are doing on this thread below.

https://www.nairaland.com/4808215/pdp-obi-not-anti-north-not#72392118

He only said the obvious. The Igbos are about to play the greatest political gamble by giving a block vote to Atiku.

BabaO2:
abeg shift, Na lie, it depends on the platform, the odd is against SE that wants to achieve everything through wrong and illegal means. If APC platform is maintained, no shaking for SW presidency in 2023

NOBODY CAN WIN ANY ELECTION WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH

You are writing rubbish, Niger Delta consist of different tribes, you can only speak for your tribe and don't lump everyone with your myopic view.
