My biggest concern in the upcoming 2019 election is not the diehard northern buharists. My biggest worry, is the tribal taint various APC spokespersons, including Festus Keyamo have cast on the 2019 election. They are tribe-baiting Yorubas into a tribal war with the Igbos. They want to make the 2019 election about tribes and not issues, because they know the issues do not favor them.

They know Buhari is a disaster and a time bomb, but are only interested in the political capital they will make out of this looming national tragedy, if they succeed. To them, 2019 is no longer about Nigeria nor about Buhari's stewardship, but about Obi vs Osibanjo, and 2023 presidency. Who told you that you will be alive till 2023?

I'm not against any region's pursuit for political gain but lying against another region, displaying outright hatred and plot to deceive supporters to see enemies where friends are, should be condemned by all patriotic Nigerians irrespective of tribe. Their anti-nationalist narrative and propaganda is that Igbo's are rooting for Atiku because of Obi. For them, they think it is enough reason for Yoruba to support Buhari because of Osibanjo. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Igbos have never voted based on tribalism. You want a fact check?

In 2003 Igbos voted massively for OBJ/Atiku presidency against a Buhari that had Chuba Okadigbo; an illustrious son of Igbo land, as running mate. More worthy to note, is that there were two Igbo veterans on the presidential ballot; Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu and Jim Nwobodo. You all know what the former meant to Igbo people and yet they voted Yoruba/Fulani ticket for national unity.

In 2007, Igbos voted massively for Yaradua/GEJ (Fulani/Ijaw), against Buhari/Ume Ezeoke and you all know the rest. As at then, the narrative was that Igbos do not love themselves and do not support themselves. No! The truth is that Igbos have too much stake in the economy of Nigeria, and that would not allow them vote in an incompetent person due to tribal affiliations. However, agents of misinformation and destabilization are now tagging Igbos as tribalists just to justify their own unfounded tribalism.

To me personally, dredging of River Niger is more important to our region than having a vice president. As I write this, I have at least 5 Facebook posts, advising that Dr. Akinwumin Adesina would be a good asset in VP position and a perfect gentleman to counter Osibanjo narrative. Millions of Igbos like me exist.

However, with the emergence of Peter Obi, I took a look at his persona and found out that he is in fact a rare gem. He left 76bn Naira in savings for Anambra State. He moved Anambra State from 28th to 1st in UN education ranking. He left a 100m dollar worth of investment for Anambra in a factory, located in Abeokuta, and not in Igbo land. This shows you that Igbos think efficiency, competence and capability first, before tribe. Peter Obi is ahead of his peers and there is no past and present governor that can match his footprints and credibility.

Osibanjo is very good, but a single candle light cannot lit up a huge dark tunnel like Buhari's cabal presidency. With his role in the government, one would clearly see how Buhari rates him. Buhari does not even allow him use Presidential jets and helicopters. He almost died from a crash because he used a chopper owned by a private firm. They don’t rate him and would not rate him in 2023. However, if Osibanjo is the president, there is a 60% chance that Igbo's will vote for him massively to complete his term against Obi, irrespective of obi's credibility. History supports this because Igbos love Ojukwu more than Obi but we voted Obasanjo instead of Ojukwu.

Igbos have paid the highest price for this country's unity and have demonstrated their unalloyed nationalism in many fronts. It's the most insensitive and inhuman act to demonize Igbos as tribalists for not supporting a man that does not know he is the presidential candidate of his party; a man who ran Nigeria into a recession, and continually blames the past administration which in fact, recorded more successes than he did in the economy.

You will cry after Feb 16th

When we talk about hate, we know whose elites always employ hate speeches against a tribe but will turn around and accuse same tribe of hating them.
Check Yoruba elites, when they talk about politics, you will see clearly hate for Igbos interwoven with politics. It has trickled down to their common man. Well I still have Tunde as my best paddi, sometimes we even attack each other on nairaland though we know each other's Monika. Offline, we laugh over it when we meet.
His wife even once got angry on how we bashed each other online. She was concerned that if not checked we may develop problem from there. We both assured her that we don't see it that way. It is just aligning with your tribe to fight invading opponent but not enemy.

I wish Nigerians will open their eyes & see these enemies of progress trying to divide us via religion & ethnics. For goodness sake, we are Nigerians first & any politician preaching hates or telling you to vote for so so candidate because of your tribe should not be taken serious, they are not saying it for the benefits of this nation but for their selfish interest to continue looting this nation treasury.

Ok

This man will eat rat poison or drink sniper after February 16

Its politics man. Dont forget pdp are the kings of tribal taints in politics. Before the pdp primaries the were all manner of shots thrown at buhari because of his ethnic background. In fact ffk took it upon himself to paint the president black to public. Fast forward to this day, the pdp has relaxed their stance on buharis ethnicity because of atiku place. Why will the yoruba man vote atiku when there is buhari and osibanjo and this administration is doing alot for them. The yorubas were denied the chance of pdp chairmanship in fact the highest post a yoruba man has in pdp is the post of chairman south west zone. Lol.

Keyamo opinions are insignificant

Solve tribal and religion problem and watch Nigeria progress peaceful.

The duo will fight against corruptin, under-development, hatred and injustice.

Obeying the law/constitution.

Keyamo has lost it

Igbos are the problem of Nigeria. This ethnic bullshit started with Jonathan in 2015 and it was championed by Igbos. Every little thing, they congregate and shout marginalisation. Have you wondered why Peter Obi is visiting only Igbo dominated markets in Lagos? He has just told Yorubas to go to hell, and that all he needs is Igbo votes. Sadly, that perpetual failure Jimi Agbaje is trailing along.
