So you want APC to abandon those that laboured with them for a newbie in the party and a defector all because you want APC to compensate your people's irrational and self inflicted political suicide ?



It will never happen! If you guys really want the senate Presidency then you should ask Ngige's opponent to resign and back out for the sake of the generality of the Ibo nation and the position will be yours.

The division has deepen more than you bargained for the moment your people refused to CHANGE...look at it, no single senator from the south east from APC...or are you saying the minority should e placed over the majority since the APC is now in the majority at the senate...would PDP have allowed that to happen?

A look at the looming political landscape of Nigeria will reveal the side lining of one of three major ethnic groups unless something drastic is immediately done to rectify it.
Since the first two political positions are occupied by an Hausa - Fulani and Yoruba as President and vice respectively, it would be in the interest of national unity and inclusiveness to allocate the third most powerful position, Senate President, to the third leg of the tripod, the Igbo.
Granted that the Eastern states overwhelming voted for the PDP and thus ensured that all the lawmakers in the Upper House of the National Assembly are all PDP legislators, the APC has a chance ,before the commencement of the new Assembly, to Nick a few present PDP elected lawmakers to the APC. Any of this lawmakers, preferably from Imo State, should forthwith be made the senate president.

You may had wondered why the IGBOS are too resilient in their plight to be wealthy but never resilient in their unity as one. They only unite in the face of oppression but when it comes to personal desires, they fight and kill each other. The Uba brothers fought themselves during OBJ's regime for the governorship of Anambra, no elder, or royalty waded into their fight, rather they took sides.

Peter Obi dominated APGA for a very long time, APGA being the only concentrated IGBO party couldnt even get majority vote of any SENATORIAL SEAT or HOUSE OF REPS, lets excuse DELTA STATE because they claim not to be refered to as IGBO. Rochas and Peter Obi fell apart when ones ambition was not in line with the other. So Rochas moved to APC to see if he could realise his dreams. Eventually Peter Obi left APGA to PDP.

It is only fo.o.Ls (Igbos) that would forget history and try to use the present situation to steal some points. In Imo state the PDP has ruled and stolen money that Imo state was never developed. They said Imo state does not have money. But today we see changes being done there. why would they want PDP to come and rule.

If you love development, if you feel you deserve development as an IGBO person. If you feel the money meant to build your state is being stolen by certain group of people who would deceive you they have your interest at heart. Its better you stand up and tell your igbo clans that enough is enough. That you all no longer want to be treated as foo.L's.

For this to be actualize you all need to forget the hatred of the 1967-69 Civil war by General Gowon and start thinking towards the future, start thinking about accepting and mixing up with other tribes.


I hope you all have realised from the recent held election that the Igbo is irrelevant in Nigerian Politics of today. You all can't do it alone.


A word they say is enough for the wise.


I rest my case.

Saraki and David Mark are both from North Central and not North West where Buhari comes from

donphilopus:


Glad to know you're from Edo State. The biggest loser in this contest is Senator Domingo Obende representing Edo North. When he sought re-election, Oshiomole betrayed him. He has been a Senator since 2011 and I've been projecting him for the Senate Presidency before the Primaries. If Oshiomole had allowed him to win the Primaries, he would have been the only APC Senator from the two regions, ie, SE/SS because the APC Candidate, Francis Alimikhena won the Election here. But being a 1st term Senator, he wouldn't have the legislative experience to seek for the Office of the President of the Senate or other Principal Positions. Oshiomole's selfish interest beclouded his sense of reasoning... He knows APC would win the Presidency and if Domingo should win, he might be made the President of the Senate or other Principal Officer, as such, Oshiomole wouldn't be able to get the Senate Ticket come 2019!!

bokohalal:

It would be a political miscalculation on the part of the APC if they let this opportunity pass by them and there is no where in any other the major party's constitution zoning the Senate Presidency solely to Benue State.
I am Edo and a Buharist.

bokohalal:

I agree that the Igbos blew it but no better chance than now to look for defectors from the PDP to APC. I trust Tinubu , Buhari and Oyegun to differ from your view.

Sooroptimist1:


Domingo Alaba Obende will get his due for staying in APC despite not being allowed to pick the ticket back to the Senate

I for one needs Oshiomhole's sagacity and erudism in the Senate come 2019

opalu:
How come Anambra people placed all their eggs in one basket? Senator Chris Ngige would have been a good choice if he was allowed to Win.

raumdeuter:
The Senate President must go to a member of APC
It must go to long standing member of the Senate not a newbie
So who fits this criteria in the SE?

dazey:



You need to speak for Yourself we don't need Senate president post and that Rochas you worship must be kick out of Douglass house it's a task that we must fulfill. Apc is not welcome in any of eastern state

talktrue1:


Ike Ekweremadu (Deputy Senate President) but he is PDP. Unless they will agree if he decamp to APC

Not possible, the Igbo's behaved so senseless these time around.they are no more relevant in the decision making of these country.

Mind your language, I don't like your choice of words.
The Igbos have every right to allign themselves with whoever they like, its all political evolution.
The problem with Igbo is that there is no visionary leader, those who voted did not even expect this outcome, Nigerians are the winners APC will definately solve this riddle no one will be left out.

The Senate Presidency is to remain in NW. Sen Saraki is to replace David Mark
