Election have consequences and so it is that the 'election' of President Goodluck Jonathan has literally killed the dream of Igbo people of South-East Nigeria of producing the president of Nigeria in 2015. First is the Namadi Sambo factor as he will most likely graduate from vice president to president in 2015. Second is a wounded north that will not take a chance at being left out next time around and will fight with everything within their means to get back the presidency. Now they are sounding out that intention, surreptitiously hinting that Abubakar Atiku should wait till 2015 to stage a come back? First to fly the kite of Atiku's 2015 candidacy is Bamangar Tukur and now Governor Nyako of Adamawa State has followed suit by saying that 'Atiku should go for the contest in 2015?' Icheoku says where is this sudden somersault coming from, but a north that knows the South-East Igbos are not deft politicians and are not prepared to make needed sacrifices to achieve their political goal of producing the president of Nigeria. But where does this leave all the guarantees made by IBB and co for an Igbo president in 2015? To the Igbos of South-Eastern Nigeria, Icheoku challenge you to show cause and prove to Nigerians that you too can make a successful dash for the presidency; and be bold and audacious going about it. Please do not cower down in 2015 and let the courage of the South-South Niger Delta which got them the presidential trophy be your inspiration!
