They were not actually marginalized,they have gotten their fair share and attempted to dominate others before they were put in place.

What sort of greed and wickedness would make Tinubu and co want to take everything that should have gone to the other southern regions. You already have the VP,it was only fair the SS should have been allowed to produce the speaker since the SE has no ranking APC HOR member. Their greed eventually became their undoing. Even in the sharing of principal offices of the NASS,they grossly marginalized and under estimated the SE/SS/NC.This eventually became their undoing as the three regions came together to ensure the political decimation of their local champion

Akande make a valid point, but these is actually not the right time to have say that.
I still blame President Buhari for all this rubbish, if as the leader of the party he insist on remaining quiet then am sorry APC is heading to france

Bollove:
Yoruba leaders are still playing Opposition in the ruling party.

I don't believe Akande said what Nigerian Newspaper quoted.

Junk Journalism everywhere.

Sheggy13:

You can shout all you like about APC but try to at least respect a region of millions of people. Imagine South West becoming South West. That's just plain silly.

The marriage of strange bed fellows are crumbling like a badly placed pack of cards!
it is clear that the only aim and objective these greedy fellows could agree on was to oust GEJ at all means, now that is achieved nothing else seem to be worth holding the center together.
The greed and power tussle between the north and the south west would bring this sham party to its knees!
So far in this unholy marriage, the north seems to be wining with the one sided appointments of their members, leaving the south west pained and feeling cheated. well, the show has just begun, almost a month into the current administration and the nation seems to be on standby as these selfish fellows cannot come together to forge a common front! keenly watching these events in 5D!

HungerBAD:
The APC should get its act together and stop acting like Ojukwu's Children fighting for their fathers property.

We did not Vote for APC Internal wranglings.

We did not vote for tribal clique-ism.

We did not vote for Saraki and his cronies to hold our "BLUKUS" to ransom.

In every democratic setting, the President is the Automatic leader of his party, so Buhari should step up and be a leader before it is too late,and may what happened to the Otuoke Clown not be his portion when PDP went to the dogs.

precious1967:
senate president dr. saraki and speaker dogara should be called and warned not to disobey d party. they give respect to apc leaders.

APC is like Euro zone, soonest one part will turn Greek trying to pull out.

[size=13pt]We warned yesterday that this Tinubu's media onslaught would backfire. The people they are dealing with operate on zero-tolerance policy for independence of mind, the media and criticism generally.

Yet we warned Tinubu and the Akandes of this world long ago that going into an 'alliance' with these people with a single strategy will take them no where, they said we are 'clueless'.

They think once you can put an RCCG 'pastor' to deputize the dullard cow herder all their problems would vanish overnight. They theorized that it was all about good versus bad governance. Once you have 'good governance' everything will fall into place.

We shouted 'let's push for the adoption of the Confab report, it is better than this your so-called alliance. We said "look, Nigeria's main issues are not as shallow rooted that can simply be solved by installing a 'puppet'". They said just watch and see.

It all seemed their main strategy was to install puppetry to be controlled by their 'sophisticated' economic and management 'Czars'. An extension of that strategy might be to think that the pastor would have a large space since the dullard is deficient in major parameters of 21st century leadership with an aging profile.

But it happened. And it happened very quickly. Our predictions are 99.9% accurate after all. It's a use and dump end.

If you are here and thinking this Akande's rant is all about Bukola Saraki's senate presidency, you are making a big mistake. Things have moved far from that. Tinubu and his herds are suddenly awaken to a brutal reality of their second-class status in the scheme of things. It is just too late.

In the SW, the number of those that benefited from Baba Awo's free education and political brinkmanship has drastically reduced. What we have now are southwesterners heavily trained in almajiri school of thought.

Atlantian:


I laugh at the South West Earners all the time. They thought they are the greatest schemers. Now the schemers get schemed by their Masters. They are back to their default opposition role, even in APC they midwifed. What a regional embarrassment.

90% of posts and comments on this thread is about ethnic bashing and insults. Ppl aren't even discussing the issue as an apc affair but as a general nigeria problem with ppl insulting other tribe. The only reason for this isn't far fetched and it is because of the near collapse of our educational system which has produced ppl with the least analytical and issues dissectioning abilities ,and who see ethnic insults and bashing as a way of covering up their mental abilities deficiencies. If this continues then it will be very very hard for majority of todays nigerian graduates to attain greatness in life and they will always be ruled by those who study and trained abroad. Nigerian youths ought to get their acts and brains together and stop behaving like political and politicians bingos(local dog)

The SS/SE people are not interested in 'governing' the zoo. We are working towards a people's Republic. God willing, with time, that aim will be achieved. We are thankful that our lands are still fertiled and under-developed. With the best technologies of tomorrow, we will build straight 10 lane roads, roller-coasters, bullet train and levitation magnetite rails, we will build the best bridges money can buy, and leave the zoo. Remember, the world is not ending. Whether its now or in the far future, we shall wear the crown and the South West Earners will continue to eat sh.i.t from their Northern Masters Anus. How market ?

Atlantian:
Its a natural thing for the Yorubas. Even after orchestrating an enthronment using their party as vehicle to Aso Rock, they have totally been marginalized, they are back to opposition - their default destiny. I dey laugh oh.

Akande like Tinubu has always been a closet tribalist masked under 'National' interest
