Just as Afonja sold out, and because of his inordinate ambition, enlisted the Fulani through Alimi to help him fight his brothers, his subsequent fallout with the people he enlisted, his death and takeover of Ilorin by the Fulani; so it is in the South-East during Saturday 23rd February sham called elections.
The personal ambitions of these lots, made them connive with Jubril (Buhari) to rig the elections in the South-East.
They systematically agreed after a meeting that all the South-East Governors must give Jubril (Buhari) the constitutional 25% of the total votes cast in every state.
Here is the state by state vote given to Jubril (Buhari) in the South-East:
Anambra: 33,298
Abia: 85,058
Imo: 140,463
Enugu: 54,423
Ebonyi: 90,726
Their plot was largely successful, but think about this.
If Buhari could not get more than 168,000 votes in 2015, when he had done nothing to the Igbos, what makes you think he can get up to 403,968 votes after killing, maiming and marginalizing the Igbos?
Igbos are defiant and have stood their ground against Buhari, and it’s practically impossible for them to give him more votes than he received before, after 3 versions of Python Dance, his lopsided appointment, and tagging the Igbos 5%ers.

The AFONJAS who made it possible are:
1. Willie Obiano (Governor of Anambra state)
Willie Obiano played a very crucial role against the Igbo interest.
It all started in 2017 during his second term bid.
He signed a pact with Jubril (Buhari) and the APC, to deliver him, so he can work for Jubril (Buhari)’s re-election.
Buhari delivered him, and he sure kept his own side of the bargain.
He rather went extra mile to frustrate the PDP because of Peter Obi, the man that helped tremendously to make him Governor.
Willie was afraid that if PDP should win, he was going to prison, because Obi has evidences of all his financial misappropriation.
It was part of the reason why Obiano insulted Ohanaeze for adopting the PDP, and even sponsored the Secretary General, Mr Okwukwu to break the organization.
His Chief Press Secretary James Eze had bragged that Obiano supported Jubril (Buhari) because he had foresight, and that the Igbos play emotional politics.
