He said, “As the chairman of the committee said, they couldn’t go to all the states but they damned the consequences and went to Zamfara State. I don’t know how many people will agree to go to Zamfara at this time but they went and they went to Katsina State. There are very few states they did not go because I told them not to.
“But I want to say that I am in PDP, I am not in APC. It is the APC that has this burden . In my party, the last President was from the South and he was my President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. During this period, my party was at the center for 16 years, 14 of those years were led by the people from the South, so where is the justice and the justification? Therefore, it is the turn of the North .
“It is possible for you to delegate, ask people to go all over the place but when they are reporting to you, if something has not been added, a few things may have been removed. We are in an election season basically and what I will say to us as a people is that we need to choose wisely and elect the people who have the energy to truly serve the country.”
Citing former United States President, Donald Trump, and the incumbent, Joe Biden, who are both over 70 years as examples, Ibe said experience, capacity and competence should be considered, noting that some young political leaders had performed below expectation. “At the point we are now, we have all acknowledged that we face serious challenges. We need the kind of leadership that can get us out of this situation. If that is the case, we should be looking for someone that can deliver on all those fronts.”
Asked when Atiku would declare his interest, Ibe said consultations were ongoing. He added, “The presidency of Nigeria is not a tea party. You need to be able to build a consensus around your ambition. People must buy into it. The process of getting people to buy into that bid is what is going on right now. The declaration is just a formal thing and is the end of that part of the process. So, we don’t want to put the cart before the horse.
🍾🥂Atiku
Wonderful political parties. The Yoruba will jeun jeun party . Eat and I eat party. More behind their plans of leadership. Since 1960 we can't talk of great achievement in the country, in terms of industries, hospitals, education,etc. But corruption perfected
It's now obvious that both APC & PDP are not looking to field candidates from the South East. Sadly, top politicians & other competent figures from the SE have also given up. Hope they give us younger, more competent & relatively better choices than Tinubu & Atiku though
We been know y'all don't rate us and aren't rateable...
With Atiku contesting PDP's primary, dollars will speak. He gives no less than US$10,000, &nobody can match him. It's safe, therefore, to say now that Atiku is PDP's Presidential candidate in 2023. PeterObi knows & has settled for VP; that's why he's not contesting for Presido.
Southeast in the mud😂😂
When it gets to the turn of the south east,the rules of the game changes. I just pity Igbo politicians.smh
