Buhari Consensus: Igbo APC divided over Amechi, Onu, Lawan, Umahi

Rev Obinna Akukwe is hereby authoritatively informing Igbo elders that the activities of Igbo Politician in Abuja ahead of Buhari's consensus choice is capable of truncating Igbo Presidency.

We have made moves to convey an all inclusive Igbo Stakeholders Meeting to finetune, finalize and present a common front to Buhari ahead of his planned announcement, the elders dodged the meetings.

In the same manner, those in PDP dodged strategic meetings, failed to institute a situation room, and failed to do everything necessary, until Igbos were disgraced at PDP Primaries.

I congratulate Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate for defeating stupid, confused, unprepared people.

The scenario is about to repeat again. Buhari has hinted that Igbo should be considered for consensus presidency but internal disagreement will truncate the exercise.

Rotimi Amechi, have done a considerable job, reaching stakeholders across states, but many APC chieftains have vowed to truncate his ambitions, on the grounds that he is not South East Igbo.

Ogbonnaya Onu , long time ally of Buhari with impressive administrative credentials, has his candidacy being criticized by Igbo stakeholders for being uninspiring in approach.

Rochas Okorocha, with considerable goodwill in the North, has little support among Igbo APC stakeholders due to the obvious de-marketing being given him by Hope Uzodimma, including through EFCC.

Dave Umahi, with impressive infrastructural credentials in Ebonyi State, is being criticized by Igbo stakeholders for being an outsider and usurper.

Another group of Igbo Stakeholders are pressurizing Buhari to give it to Ahmed Lawan , arguing that with a broken Igbo support base, nobody from the South can challenge Atiku.

The cycle is ongoing again. Rev Obinna Akukwe is warning for the last that when Buhari abandons Ndigbo, the silly politicians will cry marginalization, the manner they cried when Atiku outsmarted them in PDP.
