The only way to let Mr. Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria eat his statement which he has refused to stop using would be for the people of Nigeria, especially the southeast region to get their Permanent Voters Card and use it as a weapon to reject Mr. Atiku Abubakar from becoming the president of Nigeria in 2023. Hear our point; the Igbos are not backbenchers in Nigeria and will never be one. So it will be very wrong of any presidential candidate to come out in the public to say that he is the stepping stone towards the realization of an Igbo presidency. This is an insult to the Igbo race which should be rejected completely. Mr. Atiku Abubakar visited Anambra state recently as reported by Viewers Corner News correspondent in Awka and he made this horrible statement again. The most surprising aspect was when a revered traditional leader, the Obi of Onitsha was seen in the government house standing and addressing Mr. Atiku Abubakar and his entourage, including other first-class traditional leaders of the southeast who were also in attendance. Our take on this issue is; why would the Obi of Onitsha leave his palace to go to the government house to see Mr. Atiku Abubakar? It should have been the other way around. This again has made us believe, why Mr. Atiku Abubakar is making some reckless statements without the southeast leaders calling him to order. In this situation, a huge amount of money might have been given to some of these traditional rulers which is the language most of them understand very well. This is bad. Based on our recent study, the new generation of the people of the southeast who are in majority can no longer dance to the tunes of these traditional rulers, which is nice. Mr. Atiku Abubakar visited most traditional rulers in some parts of Nigeria and he bowed before them to ask for their support which is the right thing to do. But, he went to Anambra state, visited the government house, and the Obi of Onitsha, a revered King, including other traditional leaders allegedly went to the government house to see Mr. Atiku Abubakar. This insult can never happen in other parts of Nigeria, but in the southeast, Mr. Atiku Abubakar did it comfortably. We condemn this attitude completely. Mr. Atiku Abubakar got it wrong. This recklessness will surely affect his chances of getting more votes in the southeast of Nigeria in the 2023 presidential election.
