2023: Major Contenders For Senate Presidency IF Tinubu Wins - Obinoscopy by Obinoscopy(m): 8:44pm On Sep 21, 2022 |
As a follow up to my previous thread, this thread is dedicated to the possible permutations for Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins (and that's a big "if"). Tinubu is from the South West while his vice is from North East. Also both of them are Muslims. Thus the Senate Presidency has to come from either the South East or South South and has to be a Christian. In the South East, the major contender is Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia North). Even though he did not support Tinubu during the APC primaries, he has been very vocal in his support for Tinubu. So I wouldn't be surprised if Tinubu would lobby for Orji Uzor Kalu to become the Senate President. Also I believe Kalu is a Christian and he a majority leader (Chief Whip) in the Senate, these are his strong points. However Kalu has to win his re-election into the Senate first. He has a major challenger from PDP, Mao Ohaobunwa. So I guess, Kalu's focus should be to win the Senate election first. He defeated Ohaobunwa in the last election, perhaps he can do it again. Another possible stumbling block to Kalu is Osita B. Izunaso (APC, Imo West). That Izunaso guy is an underdog who should not be overlooked. He was the one who singlehandedly retired Arthur Nzeribe from the Senate, so he could pose a stumbling block to Kalu's bid if he is also interested in being the 2023 Senate President. In the South South, I'm going for Peter Nwaoboshi (Delta North). He is a 2 term senator and is a Christian as well. However he has to win Ned Nwoko of the PDP first before his dream of becoming a Senate President can be realised. Another contender, albeit a lightweight one, is Biobarakuma Degi (Bayelsa East). For the Speaker House of Representative, I would say either North Central or North West gets it, but I’m tilting towards North West because they will likely priduce more APC seats than the North Central. But the permutations on who would likely be a strong contender is very complex and beyond my scope. So, in conclusion, I'll say the major contenders for the Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins are Orji Uzor Kalu, Osita Izunaso and Peter Nwaboshi. Modification: I was also made to be aware that Godswill Akpabio (APC, Akwa Ibom North West) is another strong contender. I know he has some legal hurdles to surmount. If that's solved, I'll say he also is a strong contender alongside Orji Uzor Kalu. 15 Likes 3 Shares

rubbish post I rather see Atiku win than Tinubu Tinubu presidency is dead before arrival. sane Nigerians have rejected him where will he get votes ? SE is no go area SW apart from his urchins , real Omoluabis and intellectuals in SW have rejected him totally. North he'll struggle to get reasonable votes in the North because except you're living in a fools paradise you'll realise that the north is going for their brother Atiku. Middle belt is no go area because what Middle belt saw in Apc their mouth no fit talk am. you don't expect such people to vote the very person romancing murderous herdsmen because of their votes. South South will be between Obi and Atiku because no reasonable southerner will want to reinforce failure called Apc through the agbado munching gorilla Tinubu. so I ask again where and how will Tinubu win ? which region will he sweep ? the only hope of the agbado munching urchins is federal might because they're in power but buhari I know will not interfere in this election and it will be level battle field. so projecting Tinubu to win is you being mischievous and propagating a paid agenda which we all know already. Tinubu will never be president God will not abandon Nigeria in the hands of Tinubu. God bless igbos God bless real Omoluabis God bless North. God bless other tribes in Nigeria. thunder scatter Tinubu urchins. 344 Likes 10 Shares |

Its between akpabio and orji uzor kalu.they are both 2nd timers Peter nwaoboshi is also a second timer but he is not as influential as ouk and akpabio.remember akpabio also stepped down for tinubu during the primaries 7 Likes 2 Shares |

frank14011991:You are right about Akpabio. But the reason I didn't include him is because his candidature is still wobbly even though INEC included him on the list. Based on the Electoral Law, you can't participate in two primaries within the same electoral cycle so his opponent might use that against him. Also PDP has a very formidable candidate Chris Ekpeyong (PDP) Chris Ekpeyong defeated Akpabio twice (in the main election and in the rerun) in the last election, I don't see Akpabio upturning that. 6 Likes |

The following made me spread my 32 teeth. Also I believe Kalu is a Christian No, he is ibo muslim. Alhaji Kabiru Uzor Kalu. Op, Have you ever heard of a man called Mohammed Ali Ndume? Let me educate you a bit. Ali was in the hat for Senate Presidency in the 8th Senate. Saraki stole the show from him because Ndume obeyed party guidelines. He was in the hat for 9th senate but party chieftains prevailed on him to yield for Lawan. Ali Ndume is currently the most senior senator in APC. If APC wins Ndume becomes President in Senate. There is nothing party leadership can do to set him aside. Kalu is a defector, Ohuanbuwa is a defector, Nwaoboshi is a defector. Ndume is an organic APC senator. Maybe appointing him Chief of Staff or a Minister or even Ambassador might placate him, but he is inline for 10th Senate Presidency. Kalu could become majority leader if he plays his game right. Thats about it! Kalu should not expect Senate Presidency, he will set himself up for loss. 2 Likes |
