In addition, Ekweremadu disclosed which political party the Igbo people would support in the 2023 elections.
The lawmaker from Enugu acknowledged that their son and a credible candidate, Peter Obi, required support in an interview with journalists on Wednesday June 22, 2022. However, he added that the Igbos needed to be dynamic during the election.
He asserted that the former governor of Anambra State is ineligible to win the presidency; adding that the East cannot afford to waste their votes.
He advised residents of the South East not to make judgments that they may later come to regret or that will have an impact on their future.
Comparing voting for Peter Obi to “throwing away votes,” Ekweremadu voiced confidence that the South East would support the opposition People’s Democratic Party.
from 1st news..
*Hmmmm he cannot even show support for his brother? The East are not united at all.
I pray he visit Germany before the election
ReplyDeleteI repeat again
DeleteNot everyone must support you, not everyone must like you, not everyone will believe in you. All that matters is you believing in yourself.
Everyone complaining has something to gain, they are complaining because they will be affected, nothing concern stomach infrastructure with brotherhood.
So what if they are not United?
Focus on your focus
Push up (original)
Be like say the beating he collect no enter him body.
ReplyDeleteHe go collect another one soon.
What is he saying???
ReplyDeleteI think I said this thing in one post like that sometime last week or thereabout. Why the hate on themselves, no unity no love yet they portray an outlook that they care for each other.
ReplyDeleteEven if he is not going to win he does not need to be told to his face, you are his brother, where is your solidarity? Where us your support for him? Why drag your own in the gutters? SMH!
Check all those hating on Peter Obi, they are those feeding off the government, they are crying because they know that if he wins, no more freebies for them
DeleteHe’s a PDP member what do you expect? Even in the north you’re expected to be loyal to your political party.
DeleteIke Ekwerenmadu does not represent the Easterners. We don’t even know he exists.
They are just so divided and hate one another..Smh!
DeleteExactly, it has nothing to do with brotherhood
DeleteHe is of a different party, is he supposed to support another party because he is his brother?
I love my people, and thank God the ones I have around me love me too.
My people include all humanity
Are you voting Peter because his people are United or because he can do the work.
Focus on your focus
Push up (original)
The thing tire me...o no solidarity
DeleteYou head will fall o. Igbos are not divided. This one has been in the Senate since 1999.
DeleteAsk him what he did for his constituency.
He's angry because he lost out and will never smell that seat. He's sore loser and will continue to lose. By supporting Atiku, he feels he will get political appointment?
DeleteEvery tribe has a saboteur. So don't bother reffering to igbos.
The Igbo's are not united indeed. Have we forgotten that this is politics and it's each to his game? He mustn't pledge alegiance to Obi cos he's Igbo. Is Tinubu's VP not from the north? Why didn't go and support his brother in PDP.
DeleteWhenever it's Igbo, everyone will like to chook mouth to scream that they are not united.
All you united fans should sit it out biko. ndi uch
Do you even love all your family member, every time a story from this tribe comes up is the same comment always. Or you want to say you love all your tribes men.
DeleteIf you all love your tribe men, 'where did the term 'village people' emanate from. Igbos love themselves more than any other tribe, you hear!!!
DeleteSince he is inconsequential in the scheme of things WHY DON'T YOU GUYS IGNORE HIM?
ReplyDeleteI mean.. instead of them to ignore him ( Peter obi since he is insignificant to the forth coming election) they are all having running stomach at the mention of Obidients.
DeleteSo Stella does it also mean that the north is devided because Kwankwaso isn’t supporting PDP and even contesting against Atiku? Didn’t Atiku contest against Buhari.
Wasn’t Dele mumadu ( or whatever his name is) declaring for presidency while Tinubu was doing same?
Why didn’t Osinbanjo step down for his former godfather Tinubu just to prove that the west is united??
But once it has to do with igbos… y’all let the people of that region be pls.
Tehehehe!!!, this your 'Mumadu;' got me rolling with laughter. don't mind them, we igbos we love ourselves pleasee!
DeleteDele what? 😂 you didn’t even deem it fit to know his name. That man with zero dignity and self respect.
DeleteStella, what do you mean the Igbos are not united? A statement like that is totally wrong and does nobody any good. Blindly supporting someone because of tribal affiliation is tribalism.
ReplyDeleteHope others get this your point too. Not supporting someone doesn’t mean you hate them. If we all should support based on tribe how will Nigeria unite and grow. All these they hate themselves or love themselves should stop, we are talking of Nigeria president not tribe president.
DeleteMeanwhile, why all the attack on Obi? Is he the only presidential aspirant? You would think that Atiku and BAT, the strong structures would face each other and leave the ‘inconsequential’ Obi alone.
ReplyDeleteThe sudden attack on Obi is to say they're scared of what is currently going on.. there's influx of Nigerian's in inec office to get their PVC and it's one name they all pronounced,Peter Obi come 2023 so this is the reason for the sudden attack! The youth are fired up
DeleteThat pounding he received years ago never reach am, e go receive more soonest. But y are they all losing sleep cos of Obi?
ReplyDeleteOga Im ready to waste my vote for Peter Obi. as long as people wasted their vote in voting you inn
ReplyDeleteDon't mind him. Is it his wasting?
DeleteYes, I am from the East firstly, this one up there is not even regarded by the East as he failed the Governorship primary. He is talking for himself because he has been feeding off PDP since he joined them and Peter Obi is not ready to ' share the money'. Finally I am ready and willing to vote for Peter Obi whether my vote is counted, wasted or thrown away. I don't care
ReplyDeleteSo say a man who has lost his way and cant even win a re-election.
ReplyDeleteThe Igbos have been too naive and also treated badly in the political sphere. They have in the past, followed the parties blindly and showed blind support which they are still doing in the hope that it will get to their turn. But let me shock them, it will never get to their turn if they continue to sell out thinking they will get the support they need when its their turn (Which turn?).
In 1999, they had the chance to field an all Igbo candidates in all the major political parties, but they stepped down for the south West. In 2007, it was normal for power to go North but unfortunately, it went South south after 5 years. Then in 2015, it went back to the north and in 2019, it also went back to the north, this time an Igbo man was selected as a VP to Atiku. The Igbos overwhelmingly voted for the PDP but unfortunately the PDP lost. In 2023, it is natural for all the parties to zone the presidency to the south East for equity, justice and fairness. The southern governors even made a proclamation to the effect that power must go South. (Not south East in particular). The PDP threw its nomination open, several Igbos and northerners threw their hat into the ring. Obi saw the process and stepped down. On the D.day, the northern candidate stepped down and supported their own (Atiku), Wike gave it a big fight (even though he shouldn't be contesting on moral ground in my opinion but he has every right to) and he came second. All the other Igbo candidate were not able to pull their forces together neither were they able to get a tangible vote. To make matters worse, their own delegates voted for people of other regions. These are the same candidates and delegates shouting that power must come to the south east.
Despite this Obi is still in the race and arguably the most competent candidate of all. The other regions are beginning to accept him but the east is try playing politics of strategy. A politics that will continue to put them in oblivion.
PDP has selected Okowa as VP candidate which many claim is also representing the south east region. If the PDP wins in 2023, Okowa will be in a good place to succeed Atiku after 8 years if power goes south and that is when the Igbos will come with the narrative that Okowa is not Igbo enough to represent the region when claim that its the turn of the south east arises.
If the APC wins, power will return to the north after 8 years, and when it come back to the south after 16 years, the south south will lay claim to it and where does this put the Igbos.
Being politically aligned must not make you follow others foolishly.
If Ekweremadu think the south east will or should vote for the PDP because of whatever reason when they have a Peter Obi who is pulling all the weight behind him at the moment, it will be good as kissing the presidency goodbye for the next 50 years.
***Excuse my typos.
Well put.. but you think the east, I mean both those based there in the east and those scattered all over the nation would vote for PDP because ekweremadu that they have been looking for how to beat to stupor said so? Come on.
DeleteIts our vote and we will waste it with our full chest.
ReplyDeleteImagine
ReplyDeleteIs it your vote to waste?
ReplyDeleteThank God I never pitied you when they dealt with you in Germany.
SMH. An Igbo man is ever ready to betray his brother over personal gain. Reason I so much respect the Arewa, They stay united against outsiders no matter what's at stake.
ReplyDeleteYou think Arewas are not in Pdp, Labour party etc. Hate is everywhere not only igbos
DeleteBut Tinubu's vice is Arewa...please sit this out.
DeleteEkweremadu: the ranting of an expired , condemned, no longer in use politician. Shameless, selfish man that wanted to remain in the senate for ever. Since he lost the bid to go back to the senate or become Governor in Enugu state, he has been throwing tantrums and talking anyhow.
ReplyDeleteObi is not desperate to be president.
Ekweremadu is the desperate one here.
God will never allow this affliction to happen to my beloved Enugu. Ekwerenmadu the most stingy selfish wicked animal of all time.
DeleteSaid it before and will say it again the enemy of an average Igbo man is still his Fellow Igbo Man . Nonsense!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess you are an enemy to your Igbo brothers. Shame on you enemy.
DeleteSince you are too sure of this, may be you are one. Even you, do you love everyone in your umunna or yard where you leave.
DeleteAnon13:24.... It's your likes that we are talking about. Shame on you !!!
DeleteTeacher NK, I will advise that you sit this one out. Disunity is everywhere and not peculiar to the Igbos, but other tribes do not call attention to theirs like we do. The only crime the Igbo man has committed is that they're not as subtle as other tribes...... Exactly what you're doing now.
DeleteThank you Blessed. You got a fan in me. Your comment so apt.
DeleteBlessed type your comment in peace and leave out my name . Subtle you say ?? I have made my points clear...
DeleteHypocrite fan 🙄🙄
madam "Sit this one out"(you used this same phase to attack me up there under anon)@Blessed , Stop attacking people for their opinions. state yours and kindly waka pass ok. You are part of the problem in Nigeria, one can't speak their truth without attacks from Tribal bigots like you.
DeleteIf you think the mad rush and surge of PVC collection is for Atiku or Tinubu, then you have your head to be re-examined for possible brain damaged. If it were these two names mentioned above, the churches won't get this active participation they are right now using their branches all over the country as centres for PVC collections. There won't be this rush yourey seeing today.
ReplyDeleteThe youths and celebrities haven't gotten this level of participation before like now. Nigerian youths are tired of the status quo and really want a change. If Peter Obi should withdraw from this race, he will be arrested. He no longer has a choice than to be the President.
Ekweremadu is a greedy and jealous being. He sees himself as more important than anyone in the Eastern part of the country. I'm not surprised, for the last time Peter Obi deputized Atiku, he was even against it. Peter Obi has gotten to the height he wishes to get in life so he feel threatened.
Dis ur Engrish get as e be..Need** Examine** Feels**
DeleteSo na the borrowed language be your problem? Poor thing
DeleteDon't be deceive that all the youth trying to get PVC are for your Obi and if that is your line of thought you seriously need your head to be examined. ASIWAJU for president.
DeleteHahaha, Yemi, we are all allowed to route for our choice candidate but the truth remains that 95% of the people at the collection centres are all chanting Obi's name. Try and make out time and run a survey. Even a survey APC Twitter handle conducted was hurriedly put down when Peter Obi gave a huge margin against APC and PDP.
DeleteTell me, if not for money, who would want to vote your Tinubu?
The same you supported Buhari and forced him down on some people's throat. Though you later regretted. Now, you're about towing that same route again. Suffer no dey tire you?
Why are they all crying?. Allow us waste our votes in peace but I tell you it will do una like movie. Obi all the way.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is. I'd rather use my pvc to play fetch with my dogs than waste my vote on any of the other candidates. Say all you want. After all, talk is cheap. I'm OBIDIENT. ✌️
ReplyDeleteWizkid FC
Proudly TIV
His own fellow ibo continues to be against him hmmmnnn
ReplyDeletePlease shift
DeleteBiko biko you can not tell us what to do with our votes inugo? Just negodu nwoke a!
ReplyDeleteEkweremmadu we do not rate you
I hate to hear this ‘they dont even support each other’
ReplyDeleteNot all igbos will support Obi. And not all yorubas will support Tinubu. Some Yorubas are staunch pdp members, you think they will leave Atiku and support Tinubu?
Tribalism does not work in all schemes.
Many people will fight for their pockets first before tribe.
This man is a pdp member, what do you expect him to say?
Lets forget this talk about likeness. This is politics.
Nigerian politicians will go after their pockets first.
Sista Jane
It’s so annoying to hear
DeleteLike must 100percent igbos support him? Is he sliced bread?
I am beginning to believe that those who chant this do so to discourage other people.
Is he coming out to represent just igbos?
They forget that igbos stay training and helping other boys to stand on their own, they forget how the “apprenticeship” trade has helped igbos help themselves but the few percentage has turned to “igbos are enemies to each other”
Even if it’s even true, what does that have to do with presidency.
All we are looking for is a competent person… that’s all
We want to take our country back
Not all of us can afford to run
This is like the last chance we have
If Obi messes up, after 4years we will choose another. This will also make other rulers do better because we will only demand the best.
I personally had my eye on Obi, kwansokwo and that former oyo state governor.
All I want is the best and nothing else
Honestly, I'm tired of the usual chant of Igbos not supporting themselves, it's getting irritating even. There are Yorubas and other tribes supporting Obi, and Tinubu is also contesting, does it mean they hate themselves? What Nigeria needs has gone beyond tribe, it's who will make this country work again, this is indirectly insulting other tribes supporting Obi, because you feel it's the duty of every Igbo man to support him.
DeletePS: I'm Igbo and I support Obi because I believe he has what it takes to turn Nigeria around, however, if a candidate like Ikpeazu was fielded, would you expect me to support him simply because he's Igbo?. Ekweremadu can support any candidate he wants, and naturally his allegiance has to be first to his party, however, he doesn't speak for the Igbos.
People get the kind of leadership they deserve.
ReplyDeleteNo unity AT ALLLLL, Just imagine!!!😡 This is why the North will always WIN..
ReplyDeleteThey don't ever win , they always RIG IT !!!!
Delete👌👌👌@North will always win.
DeleteFrom a lot of political calculations,Tinubu and Atiku will win share the votes in the north with Kwanwanso,south south too will vote for the two heavyweights.Tinubu will win the southwest overwhelmingly and the the major problem PDP will have is that Peter obi will share the south East votes with Atiku and that will give Tinubu victory.That is why they wil do everything they can to discredit Peter obi,there’s still more to come,you’ll see.
ReplyDeleteWith the way people are leaving APC for your Tinubu and Buhari, he will not win
DeleteThe people leaving APC are people that mostly lost their primaries.It’s not new in Nigeria as most of them only care about their pockets and will go to where it can be replenished.
DeleteWait, as in a Warri man or bayalsa man from the south will share their votes for Tinubu or Atiku? Do you even know how unrealistic you sound. The only votes those men will get from the south are the ones they rig, buy and those their party members from the south and families would give them.
DeleteSorry Sir but there is no discouraging us
ReplyDeleteNone whatsoever
We are the people, we are the structure!
Talk what you may, but we'll vote who we want . Fellow Nigerians, sleep no more
A new dispensation is here
A youth awakening like never before
Arise and vote! Vote, o compatriots!
It is YOUR turn💃💃🕺
#PeterObi
🙌🙌
DeleteWhat he’s telling you guys is that the votes of the southeast alone cannot win the presidency for Peter Obi so instead of you to waste it on him which in turn will hand victory to Tinubu,he’s telling you to vote for Atiku.it’s a calculation that the igbos have refused to acknowledge for decades.Igbos like to burn bridges when they are going forgetting that they will need it when they are returning.
Delete@anon what are you saying? Same way northeast alone can't win the presidency for Atiku so his supporters are wasting their votes and should support OBI. Same way southsouth alone can't win the presidency for Tinubu so his supporters are wasting their votes and should support OBI. Don't you see how ludicrous it is to tell people their vote is a waste, in a democratic dispensation. If that is PDP's strategy then it's a lame and silly argument. I vote who I think is best for the presidency, not who I think will win.. Besides, those that voted Buhari for 8years wasted their votes cos the true waste of votes is voting incompetence, corruption and stagnancy. I refuse to be part of you. I will vote OBI. It is my turn!
DeleteThe way the presidential election is won in Nigeria is that you must first win at least 25% of 24 states out of 36 before they use popular votes if all candidates fulfill the aforementioned criterium.what 24 states will Peter obi win?Tinubu and Atiku have enough political structure to win 25 in every state but the key to Atikus failure and Tinubus victory is Peter Obi taking a lot of south east states.
DeleteWaste of vote you say?????
ReplyDeleteVoting bad leaders is a waste of vote
Voting corruption is a waste of vote
Voting for dollars is a waste of votes
Please waste your votes wisely 🙏🏾
Waste it on OBI
We shall waste it in our numbers
Waste it on OBI
Nigeria must be saved!
Stellz I don't think it's about the east being divided, everyone of these greedy old southern politician is just selfish to their personal interest.. osinbanjo didn't support tinubu, he even was against him.. our own okowa didn't support wike, rather he supported Atiku..
ReplyDeleteIt's the whole southern ish, not an eastern ish..
This one here has been jealous of Peter obi since when Atiku picked him for his vice, he believes he is the one that was supposed to be picked instead..
Ike Ekweremadu, Germany is calling your name. Another New Yam festival. See you there.
ReplyDeleteEerie comment very scary
DeleteSMH, 🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteImagine!,it will shock you.
Judas Iscariot
ReplyDeleteThey know deep down their dark round rotten bellies that if that man should be voted into that office he will never steal and will never allow anyone to do like wise 💯 that's why they are doing everything in their evil means to make their evil plans work.
ReplyDeleteIt is scary - the way they are so bent on discouraging Peter OBI supporters, any Nigerian with common sense should know to vote OBI. These people you see, their kids are all abroad feeding fat with stolen dollars, their private jets ready to fly them out if anything happens. May they all fail who have robbed Nigeria for years, may their wealth come to ruin, their names forgotten and may they be disgraced at the polls.
DeleteWhy are you people surprised? Till date have the murderers of Hiny Umoyen that went for job interview and was kidnapped and killed - have they been found? Everything then was pointing towards a politician. The kidnapper was a nephew of a big politician. Oh Nigerians wake up! The people you fight for and defend are the people killing you.
ReplyDeleteThey have started
ReplyDeleteThey will divide Igbos against themselves and start ranting Igbos are divided against themselves.
Obi is not an Igbo President
But a Nigerian president that will change our course forever.
