UNTENABLE ARGUMENTS AGAINST AN IGBO PRESIDENCY
- The Igbo people cannot be trusted with the Presidency because of violence in the South-East, but the North deserves eight more years of Presidency inspite of terrorism in the North!
-
An Igbo man as President is not good for national unity, but eight more years of another Fulani sub-national as President is good for national unity!
-
Igbo sub-nationals overwhelmingly supporting Peter Obi makes him an Igbo project, but the Northerners overwhelmingly supporting Atiku is a show of Northern political unity!
-
When Igbo people supported Obasanjo, Yar’adua, Goodluck Jonathan, they lacked unity, but when they support Peter Obi, they are playing ethnic politics.
-
ISWAP has been establishing sovereign fundamentalist enclaves all over the North and yet the North wants to continue ruling Nigeria, but Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation is a red flag for Nigerian President of Igbo extraction!
-
Christians supporting Peter Obi are religious bigots, but Muslims refusing to vote for him or any kafir are masters of political unity!
-
At a biological age of circa 86, Jagaban brings the benefit of experience, but a 61 year-old Peter Obi is too young to be President.
-
A Muslim Jagaban and a Muslim VP from the North is political sagacity, but a Christian President and a Christian VP would be a revolting form of religious intolerance!
-
Northerners who are decamping APC to PDP to support Atiku Abubakar are considered political juggernauts, but joining Labour Party from APC or PDP is a sign of political disloyalty.
-
Jagaban graduated in 1979 at age of 27 years allegedly, and has not shown his NYSC certificate, but “issorite”. Nigerian laws are not for everyone.
-
And the grandmother of all contradictions is how anyone who reminds a Northern politician that the North remains the poverty and terrorism capital of the world after 8 years of Fulani rule is considered anti-North, but any other region with same report card would be castigated to no end by power-hungry political elites from Northern Nigeria as lacking qualification to produce the Presidency.
Is Nigeria working for you? Can Nigeria work?
