IGBO MARGINALISATION: NO SITTING SOUTH-EAST GOVERNOR HAS OPENLY DECLARED SUPPORT FOR PETER OBI’S 2027 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

October 5, 2026 • Dons Eze • 2 min read

Not ONE. Not Soludo. Not Otti. Not Mbah. Not Uzodinma. Not Nwifuru.

ZERO.

I am writing this down today, 28th September 2026, so that tomorrow nobody will twist history.

I am saying this because I won’t support any of them if they come out to contest for President in the future. I will rather support any candidate from the North than any South-East Governor for President.

Yes, I said it!

We have been shouting since 1999, since we transitioned to the 4th Republic, that Igbo man has not ruled Nigeria.

We shout marginalization in every market, every church, every village square.

God finally gave us Peter Obi – the most competent, most accepted, most prepared Igbo candidate since after Zik.

One will expect South-East Governors to rally behind him, to protect him, to support him like Yoruba Governors rallied behind Tinubu, like Fulani Governors rallied behind Buhari and Atiku.

But what are our own Governors doing? They are busy attacking him. Soludo to be precise.

Even Otti that Obi campaigned for is now doing “I am neutral”.

Mbah is doing “on your mandate” in Abuja.

Uzodinma is already Chairman of APC Governors Forum against an Igbo man.

Let me not even talk about Soludo…What a betrayal!

An Hausa man will never betray an Hausa man for an Igbo man.
A Yoruba man will never betray a Yoruba man for an Igbo man.
But Igbo man will k: ll Igbo man to please Yoruba

Ndi-igbo You cannot cry marginalization in the morning and by afternoon you are marginalizing your own son.

You cannot shout Igbo presidency and when Igbo presidency is at your doorstep, you close the door and say “is not the Turn For Ndi-Igbo Yet”.

I am writing this for historical purposes. NDI-IGBO ARE WATCHING.

2027 will come and go. 2031 will come. 2035 will come. And when any of you – Soludo, Otti, Mbah, Uzodinma, Nwifuru – come out to say “it is time for Igbo presidency, support me”, we will show you this post.

We will remind you that when it was time to support an Igbo man, you were busy licking the shoes of outsider

History will not forget. Igbo land will not forget.

Peter Obi may not be perfect. But he is OUR OWN. And if you cannot support your own, you have no right to call yourself Igbo leader.
