A former Enugu State Governor, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, has said that it is not late for the Igbo to reflect on and carefully X-ray the looming reality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023.
Nnamani, who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Cooperation & Integration in Africa/NEPAD, in an issued statement in Abuja, asked Igbos several questions concerning their relationship with the Yoruba, noting that the Yorubas are not their problem.
In his piece, titled: “The Igbo insularity and its Yoruba Wahala”, Nnamani asked: “How did the Igbo get to this? Who sold this massive con job? Who are the snake oil salesmen? Why the perceived mistrust of the Yoruba?
According to him, “When you shift power to Yoruba, you don’t go to Kwara or Kogi, you go to Southwest. But the weakness of the South East zone is patently obvious such that they throw any bones at us and we bite”. He categorically stated that “the two political parties with emotional capture of my people will lose the presidential election; one a pure exercise in self-driven political catharsis, the other a known abuser and denigrator of my people.
He cautioned that “the Igbo has to retrace the steps of Okpara and Awolowo, the United Progressive Grand Alliance; an Igbo-Yoruba alliance. It is not late for the Igbo to reflect on and carefully X-ray the looming reality of a President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“That Alliance, Handshake across the Niger that is, and a resultant Southern Coalition will build a Great no Nigerian Partnership with our Northern brothers and sisters cutting across tribes, religions and all differences.
