Whether a Yoruba man from the North Central(Bukola) emerges as Senate President or another Yoruba man from the SW emerges Speaker(Femi), all I see is a win-win scenario for we Yorubas.
If former is the case, Yoruba would have emerged nos 2 & 3 in the federation and if
the latter is the case, we would have emerged nos 2 & 4.

However, I have noticed that some ibos (especially on NL) in a bid to spite/taunt Yorubas are trying very hard to label Bukola as a Fulani man thereby defying reason and common sense out of sheer envy for Yorubas.
These moroniccc ibos fail to realise the having secured the no 2 slot(potential no 1), any other principal position Yorubas get is just an icing on the cake.

If ibos were no 2, they dare not ask for anything else.
Despite voting(rigging) massively for the GEJ/PDP in 2011, the best they could get was Deputy Senate President followed by Deputy Speaker .

The only impediment to a SW speakership is a Bukola emergence as Senate President and not the readiness of ibos and other non Yoruba southern/PDP reps to vote Yakubu Dogara in a hateful bid to hit back at the Yorubas.
NE wont clamour for the Speakership if they already have the senate presidency.

It'll be unfair to have nos 2,3,4 coming from one tribe(Yoruba).
Even the north have expressed this sentiment. This explains Tinubu's backing of the NE for the Senate Presidency to pave the way for the SW - not for any other reason than the quest to remain the most powerful Yoruba politician in APC. It's almost the same reason he dissed Mulikat Akande in 2011.

Unfortunately for Tinubu, Bukola Saraki appears to be very popular across party lines in the senate. He may eventually emerge.

In the end, Yorubas' interests remain intact.
That's why it's a win-win for we Yorubas.
Yoruba interest surpasses that of any Yoruba person.
From time immemorial, we Yorubas know that Yorubaland is bigger than the SW. My great grandmum was a Yoruba woman from the NC.














Envious ibos can go hades!
You're insane! the problem with your tribe is the inability to stand firm without relying on government. if you like occupy the whole sit it will still not put food on your table.

There were no Yorubas in the top 6 in GEJ's administration. So what are you talking about?

You nailed brother.

Igbos have always been a living dead in Nigeria political arena. Why won't they be envious? Take a good look @Nigeria history and see where Igbos have always been; first from the rare.

They are as good as second class citizens in Nigeria political arena; only useful for political chess.

They tried to spite Yorubas in 60s by forming an alliance with Northern Oligarchy party but guess what, the same people maimed, killed and got them roasted on the streets of Kano and train stations.

We all thought that Igbos have learnt their lesson in the 1st republic as slaves to Hausa/Fulanis but only for their well educated progenitor in the person of Alex Ekwueme to be deputised by a mere Teaching certificate holder in 2nd republic. As if that wasn't enough, they threw him in Prison after he had humbly served his masters. They are nobody in Nigeria...

You are a dullard!

Femi lost albeit by a paltry 8 votes because a Yoruba had emerged Senate President.

Tinubu's backing of Lawan was for no other reason than to give Gbaja smooth passage.

Tinubu may have lost but Yoruba didnt!!

Only fools will call Saraki a fulani when his father came from Ogun state to study Quran in Ilorin. Whether Yoruba's political enemies like it not. Yoruba have no. 2 3 and deputy speaker. Kudos to Saraki and well done to Ilorin's Alfas. 'SARAKI OLOYE IBI O BA LO LA NLO'.

Have you noticed that it's only ibos that are saying Saraki is not Yoruba?
It pains them that they have graduated from playing second fiddle to 'abboki' to playing second fiddle to Yoruba.
Shame!
