Ordinarily, I would not have gone into the overheated polity of ZONING PRESIDENCY come 2023. The argument and deceit for the Igbo presidency in 2023 are ones I cannot shy away from.
First, during an APC rally in Imo state, the Secretary to The Federal Government BOSS MUSTAPHA who is the spokesperson of The President during the rally encouraged and urged the people of the southeast to vote for Buhari to get Presidency in 2023. Before going into details may I also look into the promise of Fashola to the southwest?
The conflicting promise has clearly shown it is deceitful and a lie from the pit of hell. It is imperative to know that neither Buhari nor APC can give presidency except God.
Also, the promise has an undertone that directly implies that the presidency is picked and decided by a party and not the masses through the casting of ballots. One at this point needs to ask the big question are they declaring our election and casting of ballot irrelevant in 2023?
The two conflicting promises got me thinking if Nigeria will have two presidents come in 2023.
At this point, I would like the people of the southeast and southwest to open their minds and see the deceit that the APC is offering as the truth is that one of the two geo-zones is being deceived here which is most likely to be the people from the southeast as evidence in the appointment of juicy positions in the current administration which never went to the southeast.
However, I will not fail to register my disappointment at the height and level of selfishness that our Wonderful minister for Power, WORKS, and Housing showed during the town hall meeting where he spoke in his dialect about the juicy positions his people occupied and more which they will get without considering the plight of the people in other regions with regards to the appointments.
One of the things attributed to him during the meeting is translated as “your child cannot surrender her waist for an edifying bead and you will use the beads to decorate another child’s waist” in the spirit of unity and one Nigeria such statement is uncalled for.
The statement credited Boss MUSTAPHA ON Wednesday showed the manner politics in Nigeria have been built upon it is disappointing for the SGF to openly say that “Whatever you bring as an investment when dividends are going to be shared, you will get proportionate with your investment and your investment in politics is what you bring to the table and I urge the Southeast to look at this matter seriously that every time we have a presidency in Nigeria, it is negotiated in several ways. Either negotiated by votes or what you bring to the table and you must negotiate from the position of strength.
It has shown that politics and governance in Nigeria should be fair only to the people who voted one into power the rest can go to hell.
The people from the southeast should wake up and say No to deceit, and selfishness and should not be swayed by saboteurs who parade themselves as Igbo leaders just for self-aggrandizement such leaders are the problems of the people from the SOUTH EAST as such be eschewed and showed the back door and be retired during the 2019 polls allowing them will undermine the development of NDIGBO.
2023 presidency should not be the problem of a right-thinking Igbo man rather true federalism and restructuring should be our major concern.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
