nigerians never cease to amaze me. How can u bliv everything u read online. Guess time will tell who d rumor mongers are.

Time will tell. A lot will still unfold. I only hope the much talked about "CHANGE" will not turn out to be a Big SCAM in the face of Nigerians

Tinubu is positioning himself as a check on the northern influence in the incoming government, if he can get the senate president and house speaker position, he will consolidate his position and the north will respect and fear his influence. The mistakes the founding fathers of PDP made cannot be repeated by Tinubu, definately he is the new Maradona of Nigerias politics.

Gbam!Gbam!!Gbam!!!

Did you say northern influence?
If democracy is really a game of nos and the north has the highest apc senators and reps,then what influence can tinubu exert?...APC is a Nigerian party,so the notion that tinubu is alfa and omega only comes from the partisan mind..

Tinubu is very correct with his analysis.Nigeria can not avoid to have criminals at the helm of affair any more

Suddenly the same story continues,.....on a different platform. PDP<APC

OilGas:
Notice that part of the reasons why Tinubu opposes Saraki is that there is an allegation against him. This man is a politician. He brings people like Buhari, Osinbajo, Femi, Fashola with clean profiles and record of hardwork so that they will be popularly accepted and the party's image will progress though he himself remains a thief. So monkey go dey work and baboon go dey chop for secret. Well so far as his choices always perform I don't care. At least he is a thief with vision. A thief with care for progress and development.

A matured comment!

IzonOwei:
the truth is ameachi will show his real self to his party when he is shoved aside without a single office...It will be clear as day light to ameachi that he was just a tool used by the west and north to take over power...Ameachi would be crowned the greatest political fool that ever walked the surface of this country called Nigeria..

Lets keep our fingers crossed and see how events unfold after may 29th..

There is no way Amaechi will be sidelined.... All we read are mere speculations....

Given that Muazu is the Game Changer, and TINUBU is the Change Factor!

Question: What is the correlation between the Game Changer and the Change Factor?

Just like that, Nigeria is becoming someone's private property. All in the name of change. We are watching.

If there is an allegation against Saraki, what is preventing Tinubu from pushing for court trial of Saraki before APC accepted him and nominated him to contest for Senate position? But from head to the last, can one find any clean hands in APC?

its politics.... Every group possesses it, even ordinary baboons have power classes..... As long as everything is working well, how APC plays its internal politics can only be observed..... Someone has to choose the speaker nd senate president, unfortunately Nigerians cannot vote on this.....

We have it under control. ..

Sai APC
Sai CHANGE!!!

ozoigbondu:
kikikikikikikikiki am just laughing at this incoming govt.Tinubu has struck a goldmine they are already begging him for position and the cracks are manifesting.

What about noisy Amaechi nobody is talking about him

Laughing in zulu

But Amaechi is just a riff raff, and an errand boy who does not know his left from his right. All their eyes go soon clear. Nor be Hausa and yoruba them dey follow? Bloody fools.

Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is leaving no one in doubt that he calls the shots in the party as he has penciled down his key men to lead the new National Assembly, NASS, to be inaugurated early June.
With the party’s power sharing formula, Tinubu has positioned his men to takeover available positions zoned to the regions. APC zoned the Senate Presidency to the North-Central, Speakership to the South-West, Tinubu’s region, which also produced the Vice President, the Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF to the South-East and the Senate Majority Leader to the South-West.
Going by the zoning arrangement, the battle on how to fill the vacancies has started in earnest with Tinubu said to have lined up three strong contenders to take over the leadership of the 8th NASS.
He is alleged to be backing Senator George Akume, former Benue State Governor and long time political ally from the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN to be the Senate President.
In the same vein, Tinubu is backing Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, his political protégé to take over as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while at the same time positioning his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to be the Senate Majority Leader.
Though he is said to be facing stiff opposition from those backers of Senator Bukola Saraki, mainly from the party’s governors, Nigerian Pilot learnt that he is playing a religious card in pushing the candidature of Akume and Gbajabiamila.
Tinubu’s argument, it was gathered, is that if Saraki is allowed to be Senate President, and Hon. Gbajabiamila becomes the Speaker, it would open the party to criticisms given the fact that the President-elect is a Muslim and both Saraki and Gbajabiamila are also Muslims.
According to Tinubu’s argument, the religious balancing would come only when the Senate president is a Christian and the natural choice is Akume.
The former Lagos governor also allegedly blackmailed Saraki’s backers with a case of N21billion preferred against the former governor of Kwara State by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police. He purportedly told them that the party cannot be championing anti-corruption and at the same time promoting someone who has such a “dirty” case still hanging on his neck. This, according to insiders, has ruffled many feathers in the APC hierarchy with many afraid the party may slide into a one-man show.
The zoning of Speakership to the South-West, it is understood, has caused a friction between Tinubu and Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the party’s national chairman, who had passionately pleaded that the party zone the slot to the South-South in order for his preferred candidate, Mr. Pally Iriase, from Edo State to get the office. For all Odigie-Oyegun’s pleas, Tinubu reminded him how he also went against the wishes of many and installed him as the APC chairman.
With the Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo being Tinubu’s ally, Odigie-Oyegun’s argument is that it would amount to unexplainable greed for the party to allow Tinubu to also take the Speakership slot.
However, Tinubu is understood to have stood his ground, threatening to throw the Speakership position open to contest, a position he well understands he would have upper hand because of the number of House of Representatives members from the South-West as compared to Odigie-Oyegun’s South-South.
If Tinubu bulldozes his way through as he is bent on doing, it means that he would have been responsible for three of the four most powerful positions in Nigeria. He singlehandedly nominated the vice president-elect.
Meanwhile, the zoning of the SGF to the South-East has opened a fresh battle on who succeeds Chief Anyim Pius Anyim between Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and Dr. Chris Ngige, all former governors and eminently qualified for the office.
Insiders in the party are favouring Onu, arguing that he is more of a stabiliser, tilting towards a technocrat than Ngige who is seen as an everyday politician.
Onu’s maturity and for the fact that he comes from the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP wing of the APC, may stand him in good stead ahead of Ngige who comes from the ACN wing of the party. ANPP has not really benefitted much in terms of sharing positions in the party and if it is still denied this, it may cause great disaffection in the party.

Rubbish coming from TAN sponsored who own capital oil, ifeanyi uba

Amaechi see your life for bus stop
Am sure he was clinging to Apc for favours,no one is talking about him again.
I think Tinubu is making a good move by not allowing all the top offices to go to muslims,he is taliking balance and that's good

I know that man will have his way..too bad for Nigeria cos one man will just sit in his house and give orders to all others...... waiting patiently to see what becomes of Amaechi the humble driver

Now this does not sound like ur everyday comment. I agree with u completely. we all know the north is trying a fast one of APC and Tinubu is well aware that he will loose relevance if he alllows them just like OBJ and GEJ lost relevance.

I must confess Bukola Saraki is not a good advert as No 3 man for a government that wants to make corruption fighting its cardinal goal.

So Tinubu is graduating from drug baron, petty thief, to political thief!

Greed and selfishness will be the bane of these gang of oil thieves!

cooljude:
No position should be given to the south east. They should be marginalized. The thinking of an average tribalistic bigot. Let me start the statement because i know someone must make a tribal statement.

Wrong. I am not sure we have the time to respond to maggots. I do my job and earn my dough. Whether you zone anything to the South East adds nothing to me as a person. It is people like you that shout yourselves hoarse every 4 years yet nothing comes to you by way of financial improvement. All you do is go and queue at someone's house and receive N1,000.00 stipend. Grow your balls and get busy with life, tomorrow is here and posterity will judge you by your personal achievements.

Just a suggestion.
