Sh*cking Claim: Southeast Has Zero Electoral Chance Until 2035 — Sam Amadi

In a post on X, Amadi cautioned that the region may have little to no chance of producing a president in the 2027, 2031, or even 2035 elections.

The policy expert also questioned the overall value of the Nigerian presidency, suggesting that it has often been used as a platform for personal gain rather than public service.

He argued that the South-East should focus on building its economic strength and expanding its influence both within Nigeria and globally.

Amadi’s comments came in response to a post by Demola Olarewaju, who noted that the South-East has struggled to secure a clear path to the presidency since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.

Olarewaju observed that while the South-West has produced presidents through different political approaches, and the South-South had an opportunity largely by chance, the South-East has yet to achieve similar success.

He added that political dynamics in Nigeria have made it difficult for the South-East to mount a successful presidential bid, compared to other regions.
