Buhari Cuts A Cake Together With Ojukwu During Ojukwu's Birthday Party (Throwback Photo)

IgbereTV captured an old photo of President Muhammdu Buhari, the then All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) Presidential Candidate in the 2003 Presidential Election, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Presidential Candidate, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu and APGA National Chairman, Chief Dr Chekwas Okorie during Dim Ojukwu's 70th birthday anniversary held in November 2003 at Dan Anyiam Stadium Owerri, Imo State organized by Chief Chekwas Okorie in collaboration with the then APGA member in the House of Representatives, Hon. Uche Onyeaguocha and Prof. Chinedu Nwajiuba, current Vice Chancellor of Alex Ejwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwu, Ebonyi State.

At the party, the then President Olusegun Obasanjo was represented by Prof Jerry Gana, then Minister of Information in the picture delivering his goodwill message.

This was one of Chief Chekwas Okorie's means of further uniting the Igbos with the rest of Nigeria.

Chief Chekwas Okorie is the founder of the United Progressives Party of Nigeria (UPP).

The igbos claim to be united yet they're the most divided tribe in Nigeria. Which is why the so called Biafra can never be realized

NLandIsHypocrit:
Who is dividing them?

GMBuhari:
the main actors of the civil wr have reconciled, only the minions whose balls were yet to drop during the war are shouting up and down

Nnamdi should come and see, the love in unity

They are the ones dividing themselves. When their war hero Ojukwu came out to contest the the 2003 presidential election, I was shocked to see FIVE other Igbo men contesting against him, instead of them all supporting him. Would his chances of winning not have been significantly higher if they had one voice then?

NLandIsHypocrit:
Unfortunately that's not 100% correct, the the structure of Nigeria as a country is totally hostile to the welfare of the Igbo man and that's the Genesis of the problem.

ODJ124:
Buhari really loves the Igbos....
right from time here has taken VP candidates from the Region....

The only time they seem to have one voice is when they are pitting themselves against other tribes who they always see as their enemies, instead of courting as allies. Nobody can grow with that kind of mentality.

LexngtonSteele:
This Ojukwu sef... after foolishly sacrificing 3 million as Suya, came back to contest in Nigerian Elections...

Dressed in female clothes and ran away after chestbeating. Yet here he is, smiling like a house niggah.

Shame on you!

Ardar:


At least he was still respected even till his death unlike your war hero Benjamin adekunle that was abandoned by the federal government like a common dog and died a miserable death.

Why Igbo in particular?
