Why Is Amaechi Backtracking On His Once Claimed IBO Identity? (455 Views)

Amaechi first openly declared that as an Ikwere man, that he is Ibo when he was a serving Minister under the Buhari stration.

Amaechi made that statement in response to a journalist asking him to comment on cririsicm of the Buhaei government marginalising the SE of federal appointments.

Amaechi replied that it was all nonesense and used his appointment as a Super Minister as an example claiming further that he is an Ibo man from Rivers state.

Amaechi is now backtracking and saying he made that statement out of political convineince . In short , Amaechi has confessed that he lied to decieve and that he isn't an Ibo man but an Ikwere .


Now the question is why is Amaechi backtracking ?

It serves no purpose and it is doing him real disservice to it he lied for political convenience and he coming out with what he said will further alienate him from the SE core Ibo population.

So why did Amaechi suddenly decide to confess and state unequivocally that he isn't Ibo?

Did Amaechi need to come clean so as to assuage the northerners he is plotting with to get to Aso Rock on his real ethnicity ? And if so, does Amaechi see being Ibo as a real obstacle in gaining northern ?

Simple, he wants the Northern votes and he knows the North won't vote an Ibo man

Ibos have NO POLITICAL VALUE as far as real politics is concerned in present day Nigeria.

Amaechi is simply trying to avoid political suicide 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ibo=No votes from North and South West.
Ikwerre =Votes from North and Southwest as a minority.

Amechi has always been a crafty and cunning politician. He choose to identify as Ibo when he felt it favoured him politically. Now he is eyeing the Presidency or at least the vice Presidency he quickly disposed of associating himself with a poisoned chalice . The Obidient mob have completely destroyed any remaining Ibo political value.
There is zero political value identifying as Ibo in 2027 .

This thread is needless
If you had done a little research, you would have realised that your claim about Amaechi saying he's Igbo in defence of Buhari's federal appointment is a big lie
Amaechi firs made the statement in January 2015 when he went to campaign for Buhari in Abia state. See screenshot below.
The next time he made the statement was in 2022 towards the APC primaries.
Thus, your thread is based on a lie and the assumption is flawed and should be closed while you get a ban for spreading wrong information on NL

Amaechi and Ikwerre people play politics of ethnic identity they are Igbo when it favours them and Ikwerre when it does not and Niger Deltan when it is convenient.Do not trust people like that they are chameleon.

He knows too well that North won't vote for anything Igbo.. so claiming he is not Igbo will give him better chances to get from North.
I see it at pettiness tho.

Am just imagining what is going through our bitter brothers. Wike is no longer thier own and now, the man they replaced with the before love has now trow bombshell. They will soon attack and insult him now because they are shameless. Ameachi knows the implications of attaching himself to igbo cos he will not get from south west and north to become president. He is the next annionted coalition if Atiku didn't pulls through. No reasonable politicians dance to the bitterness and emotion of south east and becomes president of Nigeria. APC has so far won three consecutive elections without their votes and it will become four in 2027.

Maybe, just maybe he has realised that there are more than 1 million reasons why one should never be remotely related to deveropers? Ask the so many deveropers pretending to be Hausas and Yorubas on nairaland, X and other social media platforms. They'll tell you they did it due to them being ashamed of that heritage.

you don't have the votes to make him president and he knows that. If the north ed him like they did to Tinubu in 2023 and he get half of south south votes, then he will be declared president. I will rather and vote Ameachi than Obi, one million times. If you are talking about Soludo and Umahi then I will not vote him. Obi is too fake and he is so tribalistic and a big pretender. Nothing for him as long as Nigeria exist.

Please , shush. If you and your pay masters were sure Obi couldn't win why did they disconnect the IREV and rigged the election. Tinubu lost the seat of his kingdom to Obi , lost Kano , Kaduna , Katrina, Abuja , Plateau, Rivers and Benue.

You people are bunch of criminals working to capture the Nigerian state because you know danm well you cant rig again. Shameless people
