Imagine if IPOB work with APGA to control the political power in the South East? Bring the best candidates to be nominated. Show the rest of us how people with competence, character and capacity in leadership position can change a region.
Use the power to negotiate at Fed level
An APGA/IPOB alliance can bring the South East together politically. Instead of IPOB wasting it's goodwill on giving sit at home orders they can make it nominate and vote credible candidates "order"

Political power is everything!
Without it you are a pawn to be treated anyhow
With that power you can negotiate with any party wanting to win Presidential elections and give the terms for your alliance. Any party interested in winning the region must be ready to meet your terms.
That way no party takes the region for granted as belonging to one party.
Everyone knows that South East is for PDP at the Presidential level. It shouldn't be so. S/E should be for whichever party is ready to give South East the best deal!
Use your political might to negotiate. Let PDP sweat for it too.
That way South East is not a given to any party
You can make South East an APGA party at National Assembly, Gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections. Plus local government elections. When it comes to Presidecy you form an alliance with any party that is ready to meet your terms and give the best to the South East.
Other regions can see the APGA/IPOB alliance working and emulate. When there are diff parties whose interest is their region first and then they form alliance with any party at the Presidential level, the regionalisation we are yearning for will begin to happen by fire by force
Imagine an APGA/IPOB political alliance waxing strong and emulated in all the different region!
The different regions can control the legislative arm of government and be able to align to get things done!
You want a referendum? Ensure we have a constitution that has one!
You want Biafra Republic, some want Oduduwa Republic, others want Middle belt Republic and some still it is South South Republic they want.
Fine!
Get strong regional parties. Send your candidates to the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly. You can by pass a President!
If the legislative members of the South East, South West, South South and North Central come together won't you be able to get that restructuring faster than waiting for a President to give you?
Being in the trenches and fighting will give you the adrenaline but political power will give you the control!
The regional political parties can have a candidate joining national parties to contest for Presidential elections.

I have learnt now how important it is to document my thoughts here. Here we go!
PDP current strategy of attacking people for the choices they made in 2015 is pathetic at best especially now you are telling them to do the same as you will be beneficiaries
Telling people that they should have remembered Buhari's government of 1984 and that he wouldn't have changed is the same as telling people that they should remember your government of 2014 and you also will not change.
The current people especially young people that you pack yourselves as packs to attack are the same people you will need to help you dethrone the incumbent.
You have turned them to enemies.

Most critical of PDP when?
It helps you if you are looking for how issues are rather than how you would have loved issues to be. Stop listening to yourselves. Listen to those outside.
Citizens who have no loyalty to parties are the deciders and 2019 they stayed out!
You abuse people's sensibilities when you come shouting that they are not the same. It might be endearing to your fellow party members but the citizens who were on the receiving end are not so endeared. Many might not talk but will decide on the election day.
By not voting!
How many of the critical PDP members criticised the then sitting Governor of your State being stopped from flying during PDP or the National Assembly being attacked during PDP or opposition party members being arrested on the eve of election during PDP?

Politicians are doing all they can to keep the people under their control and religion is an effective way. So all that hisbah is doing is to make the poor calm so that they can endure all the hardship while believing that the ideal Islamic world is being made for them.
Where was hisbah during Ganduje's daughters wedding? Yet they were available to cut a young man's hair.
Where is hisbah when the children of the rich are having their decadent parties? Where is hisbah when it comes to the videos of @GovUmarGanduje allegedly pocketing millions of$
Why is hisbah not at the fore front of ensuring child support payments? Is that not part of sharia?
Why is hisbah not focused on banning child begging?Is it not against Islam? Why is hisbah not arresting parents who are not taking care of their children? Is it not against Islam?

My mother's immediate junior brother told my mother and myself in the presence of my grandmother his mum that we will die in poverty and wretched. He said a lot of nasty things to my mum that he had been saying to me that I never told my mum. I was living with him then and in JS3
I will never forget how my mum wept bitterly. This was a man my mum practically raised. When he got married he couldn't afford rent and lived with us. When he started a daycare centre and school my parents invested in in for him. When poverty struck us he became nasty!
Poverty is a canceller!

In 2011 Jigawa gave Jonathan 491,252 votes while giving Buhari 663,994 yet some come here shouting that Jonathan was voted out in 2015 because of his region & religion. When he won, what region was he & what religion was he?

When they marched and said #EnoughIsEnough and Jonathan should be made Acting President in 2010 you called them heroes. When they marched and said fuel subsidy should be removed in 2012 you called them zeroes.
#YouAreNaijaSycophants
When they voted Jonathan in 2011 you called them patriots but when they refused to vote Jonathan in 2015 you called them traitors
#YouAreNaijaSycophants
Your concern is that the one you like must be praised and you be the ones that continue to have access to give out bad governance
