Governor chakuma saludo just earned a
0:06
special place in my heart for writing
0:07
what so many knew or believed to be true
0:09
but chose to keep quiet out of fear of
0:11
the mob and social media militants
0:14
You can disagree with him and that is
0:16
fine
0:17
hopefully after the elections next year
0:19
when the emotions have cleared from the
0:21
eyes
0:22
we will go back to the historic letter
0:24
by saludo then unpack it one after the
0:27
other
0:28
our founding fathers understood our
0:30
diversity
0:31
we are a nation of 900 tribes so our
0:34
founding fathers made it nearly
0:35
impossible for a regional leader to
0:37
emerge as president
0:38
this was the reason why buhari contested
0:41
for power in 2003 2007 and 2011 as a
0:45
candidate of the northern consensus but
0:47
failed willfully until the merger with
0:48
the Southwest happened in 2015 which
0:51
made him president
0:52
my Lagos landlord tanubu was aggrieved
0:55
with buhari in 2019. he could have
0:58
pulled his ACN block away from APC to
1:01
form another party but as the master
1:03
strategist that he is he did not he
1:06
waited bidding for his time because he
1:08
understood that as one he could do far
1:10
more than run on a new party with the
1:12
ACN block
1:13
I wish Peter Obi all the best for my
1:15
heart and also as an Igbo man whose name
1:18
is Chuck Woody I hope to see a Nigerian
1:20
president of Igbo extraction in my
1:22
lifetime but I'm aware that this current
1:24
road and trajectory will not take us
1:26
there
1:27
we are wasting our time with this Peter
1:29
Obi project it will lead us nowhere
1:32
as the son of the soil and homebody as
1:34
saludo called him Peter would win the
1:36
majority of the votes from the southeast
1:38
but that is not a clearly defined
1:40
pathway for him to win
1:42
needs a leader who will rally all of us
1:45
together a leader in the mold of late
1:47
sick in miyapar who will lead us the way
1:49
to nubu did it with the Southwest we
1:51
desperately need one
1:52
the new leader can be saludo or Peter
1:55
Obi but whoever it is this new leader
1:58
can lead us in negotiating forging you
2:00
friendships with the rest of the country
2:01
and forming alliances with the other
2:03
ethnic groups to understand our place in
2:06
Nigeria as igbos
2:07
selling the Igbo presidency and the need
2:10
for inclusion
2:11
because we had no rallying leader that
2:14
is why we gave the pdpr votes in 1999
2:17
2003 2007 2011 and 2015 without
2:21
negotiating our special interests
2:24
we just Dash PDP with votes for nothing
2:26
while the enugu onicha expressway is a
2:29
death trap we kept voting for PDP but
2:32
Europe is negotiated for the Lagos slash
2:34
he bought an expressway from the same
2:36
PDP
2:37
we truly miss the late nandiyaziki way
2:40
sick made sure that igbos were in the
2:43
mainstream of Nigerian politics and he
2:45
negotiated our interest from 1960
2:47
onwards when he went into marriage with
2:49
ballewa's government to form a
2:50
government and the same arrangement with
2:52
shakari's government when we produced
2:54
Edwin yunzioca speaker House of
2:56
Representatives
2:58
today we are so politically irrelevant
3:00
that anybody else can win the Nigerian
3:02
presidential election without our votes
3:05
this is the summary of saluto's
3:07
intervention
3:08
this needs to change after next year's
3:10
elections
3:11
it was a late shubal contigbo who
3:13
rightly coined this phrase handshake
3:15
across the Niger and that is what we
3:17
need as a people post 2023 elections
