I am writing this post for all those IPOB members running up and down insulting Igbos who are aligning to where light is.
So that, maybe you’re ignorant,let me enlighten you a bit.
After independence, every sensible person knew that Awolowo had the vision and the brain to lead this country to prosperity.
Yes…he had it .
But his style of politics didn’t make that possible.
He was a brutally blunt man. If he disliked your way, he didn’t hide it.
He would let you see he didn’t like you.
I have read some of his interviews where he didn’t hide it from the North that he wanted to rule Nigeria to enlighten the poor people in the North.
So as to liberate them from the manipulation of their leaders.
He said,
“The total development of Nigeria will be dependent on the enlightenment of these people from their leaders through education.”
The North saw him as a threat. They didn’t want him to rule.
He was set up and sent to prison. And in 1979 when he ran for president, the results were manipulated and he lost.
The South West cried but kept quiet. They kept working.
In 1993, MKO Abiola won the presidential election but the kwarapt IBB government, with the support of Northern elders nullified the election.
They sent MKO to prison and kpaied him there.
The South West yet experienced another deeply painful set back.
They didn’t burn down the country. They kept working.
Obasanjo was sent to prison and was about to be executed by the Abacha junta.
Miraculously, Abacha died before executing the plan.
Obasanjo ended up becoming president but the road to his re-election became an up hill task.
The North came back with their plans.
OBJ was not to have a second term and Atiku was once again the arrowhead on this plan.
Some historians say that it was because MKO rejected Atiku as running mate that was why Shehu Yar’Adua worked against MKO alongside other Northern leaders.
OBJ had to kneel and prostrate before Atiku to have a second term.
So no blame baba with all he has done to ensure Atiku never became president of Nigeria.
Tinubu saw that the way it’s going, the Yorubas needed a deeper strategy than what was normal.
The man began to prepare himself and build deeper alliances all over the country than Awolowo, MKO and OBJ did.
Then when Tinubu came in 2023, the North returned again with their wvcked agenda.
Tinubu that helped Buhari become president?
That financed him and made his winning possible?
The North didn’t Care.
But the man strong shaa..he won.
Why?
The Yorubas didn’t retreat and began to curse the country because of previous setbacks.
They simply re-strategized.
From 2023 till now, all that they North has done to remove Tinubu has failed.
Why?
He built a deeper strategy, an alliance that has the North broken today.
For the first time the North is not united and may never be in the nearest future.
Tinubu made it so because he deepened himself in alliance with many of them.
So it’s hard to get a consensus against him.
South East should learn.
