Second Republic House of Representatives member and northern leader, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has alleged that some Igbo elders are blackmailing President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over to them in 2019.

Mohammed said such plot will never work as he is against the regional zoning, adding that what happened when the north “stupidly handed over power through former President Olusegun Obasanjo to Goodluck Jonathan” will not repeat itself.


He further alleged that some leaders from South-south and Southeast are fanning the embers of disunity in the country.

The elder statesman told the Sun, “We avoid what has been seen and heard from the South South and South East and the very people, the ones we expect to be sensible, who have held certain positions in this country, like John Nwodo and Edwin Clark, are now fanning the embers of disunity.

“Imagine, they are blackmailing Buhari. I want to assure you that they are not going to succeed. We stupidly handed over power through Obasanjo shenanigans to Goodluck Jonathan.


“He did very badly. Now, some people are saying we have to repeat the same mistake by handing over to an unidentified Igbo man because it’s their time to be the President of Nigeria.

“We have tried the rotational system and it has not worked. I can’t see how we can blindly follow, even when we have tried it and failed.

“They say the classical definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different outcome.


“Zoning or rotation to me is madness and as long as we make it the main mantra for the leadership of this country, we are going to be in serious trouble.”

Stop pretending

Sis you are a staunch pdp member

after pmb is ngige or soludo

Would be interesting to see the Igbo man or woman who takes over in 2019 - or 2023, after being out of the centre since 1966 ...

North and their horrible thirst for power.

YET their region remains the most undeveloped, so what's the point really

PDP
God forbid!
But wait, what's difference between PDP and APC?
The only difference is in the name!
90% of APC were formerly PDP !
So, chill.....APC is PDP rebranded!


#fact!

What's this one saying? I can't understand his position. DOES HE MEAN THAT THE NORTH WILL RULE NIGERIA FOREVER?

Somebody should tell this junaid guy that the Igbos are not interested in aso rock

I think we all know and he knows what exactly the Igbos are clamoring for

Nonsense talk.

I think this man is high on something higher than osogbo weed. Is Goodluck an ibo? Is Bayelsa an ibo state? Moreover, are we not repeating Buhari recession of 1984 from 2015 till date? God gives and takes power to & from anyone at any time mr Junaid.

Na so we see am oo

IPobs always cry

The Igbo are not waiting for you to hand over an expired, ungovernable country to them.

We need resource control. Period.

Don't mind the fanatics.

Kingsley10000:

We need a candidate Ibos believe in. Remove Ngige because you all don't believe in him.

Soludo is a political weakling, he is well educated and his popularity in East is not as strong as Ngozi Iweala. Obasanjo is his godfather and will sponsor him but is Soludo interested in national politics? He doesnt even belong in a party. It appears he is comfortable in his academic career. Leave him alone where he is.


You should select a female
Ngozi Iweala (godfather Obasanjo)
Obiageli Ezekwesili (godfather Obasanjo)
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nnamdi Kanu)

The igbos should know they are not favoured for the centre certainly not in 2019.

From day one they've played the game of hating the president, opposing any policy his government proposes even if it is in their best interest.

One cannot also forget their trump card in IPOB with the hope to create division amongst the people.

They can wait till 2023 to see if they've mellowed though they would still be viewed with suspicion.

By the way the Junaid man is a fool.

So asking for restructuring is fanning the embers of disunity? That Nigeria is bad is because of this his age mates that have refused to let go of power and have stupidly refused to educate the masses in core north.

Restructuring is the only way for Nigeria to remain 1 when oil becomes cheaper than pure water. Give or take we have 15 years max to prepare for that disaster.

Our system depends on oil and once oil becomes very cheap, then that's the end of Nigeria. We either choose restructuring or a violent end to Nigeria.

Pls Mr junaid. That Edwin Clark and Nwodo has handled public office in the contraception called Nigeria means that they should burry the truth. This is why I hate Hausas " you so believe that Nigeria is your birth right". You guys are power drunk and ready to kill for power. Now allow Igbo people go, you still don't accept. What is really the problem of you guys. Nawaoooo. But the day it will come to , it shall be like the day yaweh lead in his mighty hands the people of Israel to the promised land.

my brother we don't need resource control, what we need is Biafra and Biafra we shall get, whether junaid Mohammad likes it or not is immaterial, when the chips are down they will know.

We have the highest numbers of double-speakers and hypocrites in the globe. Believe and take sides with any Nigerian politician at your own peril

You can take that to the bank.
