It is easier for APC to convince 5 opposition to work with them than for 185 opposition to convince themselves to work together. 49 Likes 3 Shares |

mrhowoto: In the list you produced all Parties, from NNPP downwards, will work with the ruling Party because APC has the political Carrot. Sitting and elected Politicians in Nigeria, from Governors to legislators, usually only always join the ruling Party, or work with it, because it gives them affinity with the centre which is everything in Nigerian politics and often the difference between success and failure. This is why Tinubu struggled for two decades to get to the centre. It is why Umahi and co will always join the ruling Party rather than the other way round. Lastly, politicians are not like you and most ordinary Nigerians. They are not in office to fight silly and fruitless battles. They want success and actualization of their permanent interest. This is often gauranteed by been close to or working for/with the centre rather than fighting the ruling Party. 28 Likes 4 Shares |

Lets face it, the opposition cannot produce the speaker. The Apc may strike a deal with the Wike’s faction of the Pdp which elected majority of the house of reps members in River state. Secondly the Sdp members from Nasarawa state who were members of the Apc prior to the 2023 election may be inclined to work with the ruling APC. In the alternative i see a dogara or tambawal scenario playing out where the ruling Apc may choose a candidate for speaker but another Apc rep may emerge as speaker with the backing of the opposition. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

OsisiAnambra: Funny enough, this cannot happen under Tinubu's Presidency. Tinubu isn't like Buhari who doesn't care about his party. He'll make sure the APC is united. There's no way two APC house members would contest for the speakership position. 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Dsalvo:No one is talking about fighting the incoming president. Everyone knows that politicians are only interested in their pocket. This thread is premised on the opposition parties coming together to elect one of their own as the speaker of the 10th house of reps. 2 Likes |

mrhowoto: My point stands. The APC will want to produce Senate President and Speaker HOR. If the opposition want any of those two top position, at the apex of our nation's politics, then they must have the Machiavellian guile, 'political Carrot' and might to overcome the APC otherwise that will become a problem for them. I don't think it is possible looking at the numbers and considering the considerable political sagacity of Asiwaju. 2 Likes |
