bilms: SOUTHWEST IS IRRELEVANT IN NIGERIAN POLITICS. Southwest is irrelevant in the present Nigerian politics. The irrelevance of this region ensures that,it didn't occupy any meaningful position of power,like the position of the president,vice president,senate president,speaker of the house,chief judge,deputy senate president and deputy speaker in Nigeria. Do you agree with this statement?

ba7man: That's b'cos the Southwest chose to embrace ACN and LP and ignore PDP that happens to be the ruling party. This has resulted in the PDP southwest politicians to loose their influence due to their inability to deliver. This has been a blessing in disguise b'cos it has forced the SW to think for themselves.

Anytime anyday, we are more respected than any other region when it comes to politics because whenever we are not in Aso Rock, we put whoever is there on his toes.

dridowu: Most important thing is SOUTH WEST is AHEAD of Nigeria

Table Leg :

How?!

bilms: why do some people resort to insult every time? can't you discuss the issue or walk away?...lol

Some people had argued that, the sw didnt occupy any meaningful position because of the acn, but i disagree.
We all remember that,A southwest rep,was proposed and allegedly chosen by PDP national headquarters as the speaker of the house,just to loose out again. some people though accused the acn of voting against the southwest candidate,instead supported Aminu Tambuwal. I though i love Tambuwal and he his very effective.

The issue is not about the party or not, it is about how true the statement is.

Remember, Bola Tinubu publicly said the acn supported PDP during the presidential election.

Is the southwest really irrelevant in national politics?

Why ACN Backed Tambuwal Against Akande As Speaker, House Of Rep – Mohammed

National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said that the party resolved to support and directed all it’s members in the House to vote enmasse for Alhaji Aminu Tambuwa as Speaker of House of Representative because we discovered that he was the only person among other candidates that had agenda that was closer to our party’s program mes.

Also, we in ACN believe that it would be tantamount to political suicide if we allow our enemy to have access to such a big power especially in the south West that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP would continue to terrorist us in the region, and we felt it is better to quickly disallow such .You can still all remembered how former President Olusegun Obasanjo toke over the South West from the former Alliance for Democracy AD, dubiously and suffered the region for years before we took over the states one after the other.
The ACN image maker also declared that the party strongly believed in one Nigeria and did not share the sentiments of some Nigerians that certain positions must be zoned for one reason or the other.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed who made these declaration while answering questions fro journalists in Ibadan last Tuesday emphasized that “ When the issue of speaker of the National Assembly, I mean decisions about Speaker House of Representatives was to be discussed by the leadership of our party, ACN ,we looked at the manifestos of all of them carefully, we try to hold discussions with them by one way or the other ; we considered what we stand to gain; we considered the interests of the Nation; and we looked back at what the party I, mean our former party AD had suffered in the hands of the PDP and we all agreed that our honorables should enmasse for Aminu Tambua as the Speaker of House of Representative.”
He emphasized that the PDP was not sincere when they said they had decided to zone the position to the South West based on the principle of Federal Character . Mohammed declared that “ If leadership of PDP are sincere about zoning the position of Speaker of House of Representative to the West ,they supposed to throw it open to all other political parties ,they should allow other parties to bring out competent candidates and a sort of mini contest could be held and eventually better candidate would emerge. But they are discussing about zoning position to South West and in their arrogant manners they zoned it to thier members ,they thought we would ever allow that , it’s not possible.

bilms: not an acn rep, a pdp rep from south west was proposed..The rep from Oyo..
