You demand for the ceding of the presidential tickets from all the major political parties to ONLY THE IGBOS in 2023!…. And I ask you this:

What will you offer as your bargaining chip to the YORUBAS…..the “DIRTY” … “COWARDLY” AND “SLAVISH” YORUBAS (as we call them) for the YORUBAS to abandon their own PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO or their JAGABAN to allow the IGBOS a no-contest to clinch this sole ticket??

Again, what will you offer to the HAUSA/FULANI “COWS AND ILLITERATES”… (the baptismal names you gave them) to make them throw all their political weight behind your sole candidature??….

A people you deride daily all their lives….the YORUBAS…. the HAUSAS…. the FULANIS…. and the rest of the other tribes you call unprintable names at every turn…. you now wish them to have no political aspirations….in fact you the “Smart”… “Suave”… “Most intelligent”… “Cocky” IGBOS now WANT ALL THE OTHER 250 TRIBES TO BOTTLE THEIR POLITICAL AMBITIONS AND LAY DOWN QUIETLY FOR THE ALMIGHTY IGBOS TO RULE THEM IN 2023!

Have WE no self-respecting pride??

Can’t WE present our best candidates in all the political parties and slug it out with the rest of the other contenders….no matter their tribes?? And if a candidate of Igbo stock emerges, WE would feel the deep-seated pride of a hard work’s result!….than this beggarly show of arrogance in our demands!

I don’t believe in the illusion of an Igbo president in 2023!…the timing is off and the realities on ground makes it an illusory point BUT IF YOU DO, now is the time to start the hard-task!

You should employ all the arsenal of the SM by firstly reaching out to the other tribes….not to demand sole ticket….. No!….God forbid!… But to begin the healing process!

Start with making posts on your walls and in groups you belong to, APOLOGISING TO THE NORTH AND WEST AND SOUTH SOUTH AND MIDDLE BELT for the errors committed by NK!

Tell every ear that listens that THE IGBOS BELIEVE IN ONE INDISOLUBLE… UNDIVIDED… UNITED NIGERIA! Make noise everywhere and shout it to the heavens that the IGBOS HAVE UNFLINCHING FAITH AND BELIEF IN THE UNION WITH THE HAUSAS… THE YORUBAS… THE JUKUNS… THE IBIBIOS… assure all the other tribes that the IGBOS HAVE NO INTENTION OF CESSATION!

You….I mean…. The entirety of the IGBOS…..both home and abroad must make NK irrelevant in Nigeria….so much so that the rest of the other tribes must feel and see the truth of our assertions and not mere lip service!

This is step 1 in the right direction!

Hopefully, your sincerity of purpose may sway public opinion to begin to see us as a people with vested national interest in Nigeria!….such that by 2023 our candidates in any party will not be contending (on top of other issues) with the albatross of mistrust not only from the delegates BUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE VOTING COUNTRY!

Pls, start your work now so as not to rue it by 2023!
