TINO: IGBOS ARE THE MOST DECENTRALIZED VOTERS IN NIGERIA. FACTS DON'T LIE.
They want you to believe Igbos voted for Peter Obi because he is Igbo.
But history has already exposed that lie. Let me remind you.
1. IGBOS VOTED AGAINST THEIR OWN HERO.
In 2003, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu — the man who gave everything and fought for them — contested for President.
Igbos did NOT vote for him. They voted for Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba man. Why? Because they believed in better policies, not tribal sentiment.
Which other tribe would do that?
2. THEY VOTED FOR MKO ABIOLA AND PAID THE PRICE.
In 1993, Igbos voted massively for MKO Abiola, a Yoruba Muslim even though Alhaji Tofa shared the Eastern vote with him . They stood with him.
When Babangida annulled that election, Igbos became a target. The military came for them. They had to run in the middle of the night back to the East just to stay alive.
We still remember that movement till today. It was called 'OSO ABIOLA' — The Abiola Race.
They risked their lives for a Yoruba man.
3. JUST 9 YEARS AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, THEY VOTED FOR A FULANI MAN.
In 1979, just 9 years after a brutal civil war led mostly by the Fulani/Hausa establishment, Igbos voted massively for Shehu Shagari — a core Fulani-Hausa man.
The wounds were still fresh. The pain was still there. But they looked at policies, not tribe.
4. THEY DID IT AGAIN.
In 2007, Igbos voted massively for Umaru Musa Yar'Adua — another core Fulani-Hausa man. Again, because his policies made more sense.
In 2011 and 2015, they voted for Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw man, because he was the better candidate.
Tell me, what other tribe in Nigerian history has consistently voted beyond tribe and religion like this?
NONE.
So when an Igbo man, Peter Obi, finally contests — a man with proven competence, with the best policies, with character — and Igbos support him massively, you suddenly call it tribalism?
No. It is not tribalism. It is consistency.
Igbos have ALWAYS voted for competence over tribe. It is in our political DNA.
We don't vote where you come from. We vote for what you carry.
Share this if you are tired of the lies. Let history speak for itself.
