SE don't need any appointment from PMB, the man is a terrorist, nepotism, what they need is Biafra. Without any appointment they are better than any part of the country

It will definitely be a good one. It 2ill bring some level of equity to the system too. But I can tell you that the igbos from what I have seen of them will call him names and still not change their stance. Without sounding insulting, the igbos are politically naive to say the least.

That is the problem, i dont think having an eastern sp will change the dislike igbos have for apc, but it should be given to the east both as an olive branch and to balance the nation.

Stop dreaming, it will never happen. You are still saying we shall see in 2023 when we are still whipping you now. You cannot work in UBA and go to GTB to ask for salary. You cannot work for Atikuchukwu and come and ask OluwaBuhari for position. SOuth-East will nevr get the Senate Presidency, put that at back and in front of your mind.

There is nothing like compensation here.

All the 6 zones i the country must sharr the 6 top positions in the country- President, VP, Senate President, DSP, Speaker and DS.

That is what it has always been befor APC in 2015.

Even PDP did so with the same NE when they massively voted for Buhari in 2011

Other regions that dis not vote for the PDP in 2011 got one of the 6 positions.

Almost all our previous leaders sinec 1960 have been useless but this is one thing they ALL got right- ensuring some sense of belonging for every part of Nigeria. All of them exvept APC in 2015

APC will share all the principal post according to the election outcome. The nonsense Saraki did last time will not be repeated

Am.not from the SE. Dont know what you are talking about @ last statement.

And by the way, PDP zoned that seat to the SW jn 2011. It was Tinubu who led lawmakers from the SW to vote against a fellow yoruba so that Tambuwal could win.

Is it by vote or is the president president of APC or what?
Constitution demands by the principle of federal character that SP should come from either south east or south south. The winner taken-all-mentality should be jettison for unity and equal representation.
I also hate South East pattern of voting, they don't give a Bleep if the candidate of APC is good or not, so far it's a party they hated, even if you're an angel in APC they would not vote for him or her. We've been hearing how governors of some of their states have been under-performing but because of hate they have for APC, they still voted them in. Later, they turn to blame Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba for their bad decisions.

Yes now... tribal madness had destroyed many. I am a Yoruba...I respect the choices of any group of people by tribe or whatsoever to vote bases on their own acceptable principles. That does not mean we should nor accord them the deserves respect. Our elders submitted that it is better to search for more friends than to search for more foes.

How I wish Igbo man should emerge as the senate president BUT the truth is, there was no reasonable votes and support from the entire region even the state he represents during the presidential election. I wish he should be considered as deputy senate president though, I still prefer Omo-agege from Delta state. Lawan is more trusted because the 9th senate is not about zooning the way I see it rather the interest of the party who will work with the executive to achieve the NEXT LEVEL agenda. Unlike,what Saraki led 8th assembly did to the entire nation on budget, bills that are good for the nation etc all because of self interest and power intoxication. It's highly time majority of the people in the south/east region stop playing a politics of hatred so as to boost the unity which our forefathers designed. Summarily, we are one and we should always tolerate and see ourselves as one. Thanks

The bid for a Senator from the South East extraction to head the Presidency of the Senate brightened over the weekend with the declaration of Distinguished Senator Benjamin Chukwuemeka Uwajumogu as the winner of the Imo North Senatorial District (Okigwe Zone) supplementary election held on Saturday, March 9, 2019.

The INEC Returning Officer for Imo North Senatorial District (Okigwe Zone), *Prof D. O. Ohajianya* after collation of the final results from the local govt areas declared Distinguished Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu, duly elected in the rerun election held on Saturday, March 9, 2019.

Prof Ohajianya stated that Senator Ben Uwajumogu, who is the senator currently representing Okigwe zone in the National Assembly polled the highest number of votes to emerge the winner and defeated his closed rival, Hon Patrick Ndubueze of the PDP.

By this victory, Sen Ben Uwajumogu is now the only ranking Senator from the South East and primed for the presidency of the Senate.

In his remarks, Sen Uwajumogu thanked the people of Okigwe zone for re-electing him back to Senate and promised to attract monumental infrastructural projects and empowerment to the zone.

He added that his victory at the polls was a victory for the people of the South East.

You play profitable politics. If you like put all the Igbo senators from all parties into the highest positions, it would be a labor loss.
Igbos are bitter beings, vindictive and politically blind and senseless. Carry all budget and finance projects in the East, that would not move them to APC. if you are in doubt, let them tell you their gain of being with pdp in 20 years. Nothing!
Senate presidency is going to the north East or south South.

Show me the part of the constitution you are referring to

The rule says the Senators will elect principal officers among themselves, it didn’t say on the basis of “national character”

APC, being the majority party will elect it members based on the outcome of the elections.

Nobody will blackmail the party

You don’t reap where to don’t sow is a well know dictum

In politics
Hate
Greed
Selfishness
