Patiently waiting for 2019 so that he can be enthroned as the Senate president of federal republic of Nigeria.

While PMB is still the Commander in Chief.


Then 2023 we will handover to the SW to do their 8 years while the VP slot will go to El Rufai, aftwards the SW will handover back to the North come 2031.

You guys are over flogging this issue of who becomes the President, The North and South West has been sharing the post of leadership of this Nation since 1960, and has ruined this nation beyond repairs. The Igbos don't really care much about who becomes what, all we care about is good Leadership. If wishes were to be granted, I will love to see Osibanjo installed as the next president in 2019, he has qualities of a good leader.
I am an Igbo man and that is how we roll, but being from a country that constitutionally shares every post without merits, citing so called "federal character". We also deserves that our quota.

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday revealed the reason the leadership of the party preferred Senate Leader Ibrahim Lawan to other contestants in leading the Senate.

He explained that the senator is a great example of a very consistent and intellectually resourceful leader the country needs. He lamented that those he referred to as political prostitutes denied him of the opportunity to serve Nigeria in that capacity because of their selfish interest.

Tinubu who was giving a goodwill message at the Abiola Ajimobi Roundtable held in Ibadan, yesterday, lauded the Senate Leader for staying consistent in spite of what happened; stressing that it was one of the qualities that stand him out.

At the Roundtable with the theme: ‘The Imperative of Building Institutions for Lasting Legacies’ , the former Lagos State Governor said: “Senator Lawan, thank you very much. It will come from you as the institution. You are a great example of a very consistent and intellectually resourceful leader that we have in this country. We saw in him, these leadership traits and the qualities we wanted in the Senate President. We know you are qualified and competent to be, that you would have led the most important arm of our government more effectively but the political prostitutes and their robbers and their collaborators denied you of it because of selfishness and selfish aggrandisement. But instead of fleeing, you remained constant and consistent, seeing this institution as a place for truly lawmaking that we the people and you have remained consistent and constant ever since on a progressive stand. Thank you.”

While commending Governor Ajimobi for changing the fortunes of the state in the last seven years, Tinubu said his success would have been incomplete without a worthy successor. He hailed his choice of Adebayo Adelabu, who he believes would build on his exploits.

His words: “To the discussants, we have facilitated this important topic, it is all about you as a thinker and a doer and that is what Nigerians need all over – thinking and doing. The capacity to pick the right kind of people to think out the need for our society; that institution that you represent, translate it to vision and be able to do it. Unless that you have the rare combination of thinking and doing you cannot succeed as a leader and that is what you have done for Oyo State.

By now, the average nigerian understanda how tinubu works. If tinubu picks you, its not because you are smart or honest, its because he has influence over you. Its that plain and simple.

Lol. No Bros, you wanted Lawan as SP simply so that your House boy and convicted fraudster of houseboy would become Speaker. The brown teeth drug baron and cert forger have not learnt anything from the first 2 years of APC when they disgraced and sidelined him. Awon brown roofed king maker never sabi say National politics is different from Amala panlansa politricks.
They have not even won elections, but he is here making noise. Havent this one heard what Aisha Bubu said the other day? Buhari is not inbcharge, the people incharge are his cousin and uncle, Kyari and Daura. Or doesnt he know in politics its amounts to suicide to lay your cards for all to see? Hehehe I hope this one and his boys would not forget their utterances the past 3plus years they found themselves at the center stage? #Restructuring is not good again, #State is not the solutions # Lagos dont neccessariky need to be givingvspecial status.
We hope when Nigerians send Ewedu politicians back to their brown roofed enclave they wont start shouting Restructure, State police and what not o. Una eyes go clear very soon.

See who is talking about selfish interest o, Simone that has been in the senate since the 4th republic with no eyes on the senate president until now.
Besides his emergence would have been against the merger agreement of 2014/2015 between CPC, ACN, and others with the nPDP joining them which 5governors decamped, speaker house of rep, senator and other legistators in the camp of PDP decamped to APC, for me that’s the reason Buhari won that election.

The agreement was that based on Buhari anticedents in the north on the number of votes he can gain, he would be the flag bearer. So CPC will be President, then followed by the ACN Who were gradually taking over the south west and sold other states, the ACN would take the Vice President, some of those who left they PDP to be part of the APC agreed to be governorship candidates, senators, rep members in there various states. The apc agreed And it was agreed that the nPDP would take the senate president and the speaker too, one of the reason Saraki was jostling for that post was because of the assurance of the agreement, election done, Buhari won and Buhari wants a CPC to head the senate and the ACN to head the house of rep, PDP being the last owner of the chamber played a fast one on them and took there rightful places. This led to various cases against some PDP big wigs, Saraki, Akpabio Who later decamped, kwankaso, Dino, Ekweremadu too, still those senators remained in the APC hoping things would get better after there emergence based on the agreement, but then they were faced with treated unfairly after giving them the big committees and all.
Politics is a game, of numbers and agreement, that’s why they are called power players, if the APC had stayed true to there agreement with the nPDP there won’t be no problem, it will be a smooth sailing for them in 2019

Ewedu Muslim, this one na grammar you dey speak. You destroyed southern unity the day you voted for the bigoted dullard because he is Muslim and hates the better south. I'm sure you are not deceiving yourself about earning any form of support from the better christian south that you despise when tables turn. The SW have done their turn in the presidency, if you try to greedily snatch before an Easterner (whose rightful turn it is), the East will ensure it remains in the north until you Afonja come to back to your senses. Lament all you want but that is it way it is.

Afonja will not smell presidency before the East, until they come to equity with clean hands. Stop banking on fake southern unity you destroyed by yourself in 2015.
