Chimaroke Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu state, says
the Igbo need an alliance with the Yoruba on contesting the presidency.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Nnamani said the Igbo
should reflect on Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
The former governor also said two political parties that are
popular with the Igbo will lose elections in 2023.
Although the former governor did not mention the names of
the parties, it appeared that he was referring to the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and Labour Party (LP).
Both parties have some appeal in the south-east.
“The two political parties with emotional capture of my
people will lose the Presidential election. One a pure exercise in self driven
political catharsis, the other a known abuser and denigrator of my people,” he
tweeted.
“The Igbo are out of the power echelon of an African State
they helped found. Products of self injury and own goals.
“We need a restart. Based on a paradigm shift. Careful but
calculated risk. The Igbo have to retrace the steps of Okpara and Awolowo, The
United Progressive Grand Alliance. An Igbo-Yoruba Alliance.
“It is not late for the Igbo to reflect on and carefully
X-Ray the looming reality of a President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“A marathon politician Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, City boy they
call him, paid his dues over decades, performed creditably in governance and
politics.”
