Why South South Must Produce The next Speaker, House Of Representatives by nickxtra(m): 12:26pm On Apr 02, 2015
Now that the presidential elections are over and the next ruling party in the process of composing both its Executive and the Legistaltive officers, it is time to understand how the APC ought to organize itself and allow each Zone of the Federation a fair share of political presence. I suggest that since the President is from the Northwest and the VP from the South West, it is only crucial and for the sake of peace, fairness and unity that the Senate be produced by North Central(it should have been South East, but they don't have any APC Senator) and the only Senator from South South - Barr. Alimikhena is a first timer); the Deputy Senate President can go to Southwest; the Speaker, House of Rep should go to South South, where we have a vibrant returning Representative Comrade Peter Akpatason(Akoko Edo Federal Constituency, Edo State), who was a former National President of Nupeng. Akpatason incidentally is from the Niger Delta and knows the Niger Delta so well, that he would able to forge unity among the aggrieved Niger Delta people, who fell that their son, President Goodluck Jonathan has been unfairly treated. With comrade Peter Akpatason, we will witness a robust and active House of Representatives. In this order, the Deputy Speaker can go to North East. This is my candid opinion on how APC should zone these offices, in order to avoid rancour and crises in the relatively young APC as a ruling party. You have have a varying opinion. Air yours and avoid any personal attack.

I agree with you, but Edo State inspite of the military in connivance with top PDP politicians, including Chief Raymond Dokpesi's intimidation of Edo voters and even state officials, kudos must go to Edo voters particularly Edo North who inspite of the hurdles voted for APC massively and got Two Reps(still another Rep from Owan Federal Constituency) and a Senator for APC, as a reward.

Do you just post without reading through? Requirement for the position of speaker is "ranking" Are u saying the two returning reps from Edo North don't deserve to be speaker or what?
For fairness SS should get the speaker's position. Hon. Peter Akpatason (former NUPENG President) representing Akoko-Edo federal constituency is ranking thus should be considered for the position.
