North West, North Central and South West are overfed, South South and North East are moderately fed, while the South East is grossly underfed and marginalised. They should get the next slot. But permit me to add that my reason for rooting for Obi is not because he has answers to all challenges facing Nigeria. As a matter of fact, I don’t think that any of us has answer but that all of us have the answer. In other words, in my opinion, only a mass participatory and all inclusive governance machinery can take Nigeria out of the woods. My reason for opting to vote for Obi is to give the Southeast a sense of belonging in Nigeria. South-easterners are not slaves for goodness sake.
I see power shift to the Southeast not as an end but as a part of the journey of our time. And by the way, let me include one quality of the people of the Southeast in particular, and the Igbo people in general, which our country needs so much at this point in time. That is communality and spirit of democracy that is all-inclusive. The political tradition of the Igbo, which they invented and bequeathed to the world, is the very concept of democracy.
Too much attention is being focused on the economy but to my mind without taming insecurity we can never get the economy right, which is why our Constitution states that security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.I am definitely not one of those who believe this INEC is interested in conducting free and fair election.
Wikipedia defines “a political party as an organisation that coordinates candidates to compete in a particular country’s elections.” It says further that, “it is common for the members of a political party to hold similar ideas about politics and parties may promote specific ideological or policy goals.” When I look at the parties, one party stands out among them. That is the African Democratic Congress founded by Chief Ralph Nwosu.
