IN THE History of Nigeria Politics
The 1999 – Support for a Southwestern Presidency
After the annulment of the 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election many political elites agreed that the presidency should return to the South-West to calm tensions after the crisis. To pacify the Yorubas
Both major parties fielded South-West candidates
#Olusegun Obasanjo (PDP)
Olu Falae (APP/AD)
Many #Igbo political leaders supported this arrangement believing it would stabilize democracy and that power rotation would later give the South-East an opportunity.
AGAIN
2007 – Support for Northern Presidency
When Olusegun Obasanjo completed his second term, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party followed its zoning formula and moved power to the North
Umaru Musa Yar'Adua became president in 2007
Igbo political blocs within the PDP largely supported the party arrangement expecting that future rotations could favour the South-East which they scam them with fake promises
2010–2011 – Jonathan Presidency and the Debate on Rotation
After the death of Umaru Musa Yar'Adua in May 2010 Vice President Goodluck Jonathan (from the South-South) assumed power and later contested in 2011.
Many Igbo political leaders backed Jonathan strongly, believing the southern bloc alliance could eventually support a South-East presidency in the future which is always their problem hoping that manner will fall free because they are playing one Nigeria.
2015 – Support for Buhari Against Jonathan
In 2015, the opposition All Progressives Congress presented Muhammadu Buhari from the North-West.
Although the South-East largely voted for Jonathan, some politicians argued that supporting northern leadership again could strengthen future rotation claims
2023 – Renewed Demand for South-East Presidency
Before the 2023 elections many leaders argued that the presidency should rotate to the South-East citing the region’s lack of presidency since 1999. But they careless of the dot in a circle people 🔵
The debate intensified during party primaries in 2022.
Unfortunately, Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the South-Westwon the election. Here we are in 2026 and they managed to slaverily bought Obi Cubana and Chief priest who think their case is different and can turn the tide in their unpalatable greed of saving their self but waving the wand of doing it for the Southeast ndi efulefu.
Hear me and hear me now
Since 1999 the Igbo political leaders have often supported candidates from other regions during different elections. The expectation in many political conversations was that power rotation (zoning) would eventually allow the South-East to produce a president but the moment they achieve their aim they laugh at those Igbo leaders who thinks they are wise. Penny wise palm foolishness in them.
I hope we revisit our history to awaken our subconsciousness and state the facts clearly that enough is enough.
