You can’t have Biafra and presidency at the same time, ACF spokesman tells Igbo

Anthony Sani, secretary-general of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), says the Igbo community cannot pursue their agitation for Biafra and presidency at the same time.

Sani said this while reacting to an article on the advice of Isa Funtua, an associate of President Muhammadu Buhari, gave to the south-east on its aspiration for the number one seat in the land.

Funtua had asked the Igbo to review their ways of playing politics in order to get the presidency. This had generated different reactions.

But Sani said Nigerians would be too scared to entrust the Igbo with the presidency in 2023 if “they are seen to also be agitating for secession from the federation”.

He described the Igbo as suffering from “superiority and inferiority complexes”, accusing them of playing both victim and also having a sense of entitlement.

“When I read a letter by one Frederick Nwabufo on page 18 of The Nation newspaper under the caption “Isa Funtua, Igbo and 2023 presidency” in which the author berated Isa Funtua of being an arrogant man who suffers from a sense of entitlement, I wonder the wisdom,” Sani said.

“As far as I am concerned, it is Igbo who is obsessed with a sense of entitlement by their insistence that it is their turn to produce the president in a country which boasts of over 250 ethnic nationalities. Igbos suffer from both superiority and inferiority complexes.

“At one point, they tout their superiority by claiming to be over and above any other nationality in Nigeria because they are better at the use of their superior commercial acumen for trade.

“At another, they play the victim by crying of marginalization the most. Power in a multi-party democracy is never secured through threats and intimidation, nor is it obtained by jeremiads out of pity.

“This is because democracy is a contest of ideas and reason and is never a bullfight.

“Igbos cannot agitate for separation and hanker for president by still expecting the country would not be scared of voting them for the presidency.

“Igbos may wish to recall that Senator McCain lost the elections because he had [Mrs Palin] who was governor of the state of Alaska. This was also because her husband was accused of attending a meeting of separatists who wish the state of Alaska to leave [the] USA and Russia.

“I do not see how somebody from Scotland, Catalan, Quebec, Aceh or Xinjiang could dream of being voted president of their countries. Reason: Such a person would most likely play Gorbachev.

“So when Isa Funtua says Igbo should belong, he meant “belong to where the majority [is]”. That is to say, Igbo must develop their winning game plan by reaching out to build bridges and break barriers.

“The North does not comprise the caliphate alone but is very diverse. In fact, the caliphate today is not ruled by the ruling party.”

Well I assure you that the core North will never allow any country that they are part of to be restructured. Restructuring will take away political power from North forever

And those 3 people would do what exactly? Stop making me feel you are not intelligent

The person you quoted actually has the power to call for it so let's encourage him, let him go on and organise a referendum.

Area4Area:

You have come with your low I.Q statement

They can't choose any, because they don't know what they want..

NimrodEndOfDays:

Stop making your ignorance fashionable. Its the section / or region that craves for lefeledum representatives on the floor of the senate that will call for it. That's the position of the law.

NimrodEndOfDays:

Keep quiet he has rightly told you , the position of the law regards referendum. Referendum is opinions of people and their representatives on the floor of Senate. You can't expect Mr President who's a Northern , to promote opinions of others whom he has no ideas of and whom he he has not been appointed to represent.

Ok, they choosed Biafra. Now give them Biafra, Anthony Sani. Ode

They know an Igbo president must restructure the country

Stop being emotional and use your brain for once. When the SE senators requested for a percentage of what comes from their region to be used to develop the SE was it not the same Northerners that shot the bill down ? So why would they a referendum when they know that the benefits they enjoy would be no more if the country splits?

You are the ignorant one here. Tell me which region outside the North that ed a bill for thier region which the North didn't benefit them that scaled through in the NASS ? And stop asking for a request that your mallam brothers would not agree to.

ZombieTERROR:

The owner of the country
Or the region that lays the Golden Egg?

Which golden eggs does yout region lays?Nna!there is a different between the SS and the Se.Please you can proof me wrong by proving us with what your region contributes to Nigeria.For instance the entire North=70% food&raw material,SW=70% taxes on goods&services,the SS=90% earnings from the sale of crude oil.So,what does Se produce?Dont tell us national football players or noollyhood muvies because other region are adequately represented INUGO!!

Biafra of course. Is water wet? Is salt salty?

To hell with presidency. If you doubt me, go and visit the home towns of all the people that have ruled Nigeria let’s compare it to Igboland.


Mind you an igbo president will be held hostage by Northerners in the senate and house of reps aided by fake quota system population numbers which gave them permanent majority.

Look at what happened to Jonathan’s PIB bill that sat there for years without vote or implementation.

Only a foolish person will choose presidency over freedom.
