The South East geopolitical zone might have finally lost the position of Secretary to Government of the Federation to the North Central zone as APC leader Ahmed Tinubu has penciled down a one time National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh, to occupy the post, The Guardian reports.

Apart from positioning Ogbeh as the next SGF, it's believed that the decision by the party elders to zone the position to North Central was to stop Senator Saraki’s determined campaign to succeed Senator David Mark as the next President of Senate.

“The game plan is to block Saraki’s chances and ensure that the South West gets the position of Speaker of House of Representatives this time around. The Tinubu camp believes that given the role they played in the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as presidential candidate of APC and president-elect, it would be politically unwise not to produce one of the leaders of the two-chamber National Assembly,” he explained.

Reports say the South East had to be traded off easily on account of the visibility the zone enjoyed during the Goodluck Jonathan presidency, pointing out that the South West leaders argued that giving the post of SGF to the South East would amount to “rewarding an absentee candidate with high marks”.

It is believed that if the plan sails through, APC must have dramatically punished the South East for giving bloc votes to President Jonathan in the last election as well as rekindled the political rivalry between South West and South East.

BUHARI my HERO!
AMEACHI my ROLE MODEL!!
FASHOLA my GUY!!!

God bless Nairaland.

Please,everybody should let this man(Buhari) build his own team and appoint his own competent cabinet.
All these cohorts and god-fathers are all acting as if the man has no sense of his own.
Anyway,Nigerians are watching.

Looters are deciding Nigeria fate under #babaonechance . GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my ROLE MODEL!!

what is audu ogeh still doing in government? thinking..,...........just can't get a handle on it sire get a farm go back to village and farm period

Yesterday Tinubu was no longer in Charge, Today Buhari rejects Tinubu nominees, Tomorrow Tinubu appoints SGF, Senate President Speaker!

Can these TANIods and their useless propaganda Newspapers(Vanguard, Tribune and Guardian) allow Tinubu to rest? Why all these "jealousies?

Anyway let's hear from Mogidi, another Super hater!

What will their region gain if he pencils only one person's name down

It is believed that if the plan sails through, APC must have dramatically punished the South East for giving bloc votes to President Jonathan in the last election

And the SS/SE would punish the nation by withdrawing its oil, there are attendant consequences should APC thread that path.

Tinubu "punishes" SE ..Nothing wey person no go hear for NL.
Sauce sha?

So is your source. Also, who is Tinubu to choose the SGF?

How does getting a post guarantee development in an area? I don't get. It's for their own personal gain and not to the benefit of their area.

Tinubu is the one that made your Fulani brother president na (says South westerners), but do you suffer memory loss this often? You don forget Tinubu so soon?

Stupid news from a stupid blog

It should be Tinubu punishes Okorocha, Ngige, Onu and other SE APC by showing them they are irrelevant in APC, what we SEasterners already know they are. And why APC was rejected in the SE, no apologies. Who is Tinubu to punish the whole SE. He can only play their supporters like pawn on a chess board. All we await is good governance from GMB, whoever he chooses to use in achieving that, his cup of tea.

Anything to stop Saraki, he must not cling that position. I swear it's for the good of all of us.

Who cares? (only NFCS does)
I'll be very glad if we are not given any ministerial post or any other political position. After all, we've gained absolutely nothing frm those who were there in the past, only bunch of thieves bent on filling their pockets. All we want is for this govt to make Nigeria safe, create jobs, steady our power supply and restore our national integrity.

Wait for Buhari to reject and give Tinubu the shock of his life....no one can decide for the people's General in such a delicate post

Mogidi:

See finishing




Buhari

Prove us wrong that you are not

BABA ONE CHANCE

BABA HYPOCRITE

BABA MAGICIAN


Prove us wrong by probing


Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku Rochas Amaechi


Prove us wrong by probing the corrupt Federal Civil Servant which is dominated by Tinubu's people


Sir

Tinubu's people voted you because they believe they can steal the oil wealth and presidency through you


They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did


Sir

They do not believe in change because if they do, they would have voted you in 2007 and 2011


Remember that you are a descendant of Usman Dan Fodio


WISE UP

Kip on creating ethnic division which these ur fake news...what you hope to achieve omits me....say no to tribalism

We don't give a damn. Tinubu can only punish apc supporters from SE and not SE region. He is too small.

Good riddance to hateful bunch

lies,lies,lies. between,Wetn be ? ko,naijadogs in. mtecheeew

I can see the SE/SS and GEJ used by the APC to justify their own failure in office. I can foresee the APC regularly playing the SE against the SW to win future elections in the south!

Well, their cup of tea. Southeast always knew the apc never liked them but that's ok. We can always do without them

With all the divisive and mischievous lies flying around currently from hateful and attention-seeking blogs , why will any sensible adult take seriously what is clearly an attempt to cause ethnic disaffection between Yorubas and Igbos? This is how they accused Soyinka of spewing ethnic bile against the Igbos a few days ago only for such to turn out to be false. You guys should grow up and stop reacting like kids to everything you read.

This medias are abusing their liberty

Hmm..

How is that a punishment...?

Igbos are used to marginalisation.
We have always RISEN above such.

How I wish this could be true so that people like rochas, ngige, araraume etc would have their criminal avenue blocked. We don't want people who will desecrate the sacred igbo name with looting while serving apc govt

This story is definitely not true, south east will be duly represented at the central like other regions. Buhari will not agree to run a divisive government. Take that to the bank!
