"PDP zoning their speakership to SW for unity and equity despite low contribution to the party in 2011"

How many states in the SW did PDP win in the 2011 presidential elections? I won't tell you. Find out, then go and correct the 'low contribution' bullshit you wrote.

Your type just come online to post nonsense.

Imagine, an insane you advising me to visit a psychiatrist.

U nor really well...







No mind the Dumb thing. They think because they can read and write means they can type trash on NL. She also said the SE has two ranking Senators who were recently elected when the only Senator representing the South East for now is Orji Kalu.
The person behind that moniker is an ignorant mofo.

I like Igbos like you.

Without patronizing, there are few people Igbos like you who are ready to live with the consequences of their decisions. Most want to reap where they did not sow.

The reality is Igbos should have no expectations of PMB because 99% of Igbos voted Atiku. You can't expect anything from someone you don’t trust to lead you.

Small small, dem don dey show OUK red card. In a very 'unsurprising' move, they will resurrect his case with EFCC in court to completely neutralise him after using him to reduce votes and make the inroads they did against IPOB and politics generally in the East especially Abia state. Suddenly he is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy and he has to go and teach his people politics..lol

Rochas don dey smell pepper already, they say they will not intervene because he is suspended. Ngige had better start taking notes...
Since Lawan said he will not mind spearheading a Constitutional amendment for life presidency, they will also reflect in their new Constitution that any zone that does not give at least 50%votes to the ruling party should also forget ministerial appointments since some idiots don't understand the meaning of inclusive governance but remain stuck on their skewed interpretation of 'winner takes all'.

In the Presidential system of government that’s how it goes Sir. Generally speaking politics is a game of numbers! Good politicians know what to do is to wait for the next season of elections or challenge the results of the present one. It smacks of desperation and intellectual dishonesty to seek “inclusive” government after losing elections in Presidential system of government. PDP government under Jonathan was anything but inclusive.

These politicians hardly ever learn! He isn’t on the same journey that sent Saraki into political oblivion!! My thinking is that he would be wiser to support Lawan so he can get Northern support for the Presidency when it’s up for grabs next as he presently stands in the best position to emerge the President the East clamours for. He will meet his match shortly all things considered!

Igbo APC foolish followers are yet to come to terms with the dummy the party sold to them in the last election, here you are selling another dummy for 2023. APC is really evil

Actually PDP under Jonathan was more inclusive than what you have now. Besides, we do not have a homogeneous country, it is heterogeneous so it behooves the winner to accommodate all especially tribes/ethnic groups in key offices and decision-making policies. Politics is supposed to be a game of popularity and not vindictiveness. If a group do not give you substantial votes/support in a cycle, you take steps to understand and them and give them reason to trust you more in the next cycle. Deliberately sidelining them just because you can only upsets a delicate balance which can very well turn against you and your people then so what happens then?

With all the sacrifices Orji Kalu has made, why will anyone say he is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy? That he should go and teach his people how to play politics? Is that the proper way to speak to or about a person who is a party member just because his zone did not return massive votes to the APC? There is a more decent way to speak and address issues like these so that there is continued peace and harmony. How do you expect Orji's constituents that actually gave APC the majority votes in that region to feel? Or they don't matter? Then what is the reward of showing faith? At least some respect and decorum even if SP or DSP is not zoned to the East!

Igbos Have Themselves To Blame For Voting Atiku - APC

The ruling APC said it does not deserve any blame for not zoning the position of Senate President or Deputy Senate President to the South-East.

Rather it said the South-East should blame itself for queuing behind Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP in the just concluded general elections.

The party was reacting to the outburst of Orji Uzor Kalu, who said that unless the APC makes him the Deputy Senate President of the 9th Senate, he will fight to become the Senate President.

Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a chat with Daily Independent said while nobody is stopping Kalu from contesting for the position of Senate President, the reality is that he cannot win since the zoning arrangement didn’t favour him.

According to him, rather than getting angry with APC leadership, Kalu should blame his people in the South-East for putting all their eggs in one basket by rejecting President Muhammadu Buhari and casting over 90 percent of their votes for Atiku.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. He can contest for the position of Senate President. But the issue is, can he win? Nobody is stopping him from contesting. Igbo people always play themselves out. So, Kalu cannot blame APC.

“He should blame his own people from the South-East. He should blame them because they don’t know how to play politics. They play politics like a one-way thing. They all voted for Atiku in the presidential election. So, now that Atiku lost, who will help people like Orji Kalu? 99.9 percent of them followed Atiku.

“So, what is Kalu crying for? He should go back to his people and educate them on how politics is played especially at the national level. They should play 50-50. If this one didn’t work, the other can work.

“So, Orji Uzor Kalu must go back to his people and educate them because he himself is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy Senate President. So, if he wants to contest, he can do so. Nobody is stopping him. But I know that he cannot win”, he said.

Fianze93:
I believe 'winner takes it all' is a normal norm in the Presidential system of government, and at such won't blame APC if they fail to zone any of the Senate's Presiding Officer to the SE.

It is their choice. But they should know that the Igbo man will always thrive no matter the condition.

Sideline us, incapacitate us, come for our heads, we'll still find a way to survive, as far as the sun rises; our sons and daughters will be informed of the acts of this government, for reference purposes.

You might call it harboring hatred, and passing it to the next generation. Who cares?

Ogbeni, to whom much is given much is expected. Igbo gave APC less and they are expecting much from them. Stop crying foul, you people need to be taught how to play politics.

To APC, what they mean by Politics of one basket is that they are indirectly telling you that they are against democracy.. Meaning that there should be no opposition in Nigerian politics . Everybody must vote and follow APC in order to be seen as people that are politically matured.. Lolz.
I can remember in 2015 when Adesina came out and said that the reason APC didn't zone the SP to SE is because there was no ranking senator from SE even from SS.
Chris Ngige came to Awka and started insulting people of Anambra Central why they didn't vote for him, that if they had voted for him again like they did in 2011 hé would have become the Senate President.
Ngige said all sorts of unprintable things I can't type here all because of politics.
Fast forward to 2019 , SE has 2 APC ranking Senators (One Ebonyi man and Orji Uzo Kalu from Abia state .. Yes Kalu could be seen as ranking Senator because he has spent time in House of Reps before ..Both chambers are called NASS)

Now, the same APC is giving another reason why SE should not be given the SP because they didn't vote for Buhari.. Like seriously ?
PDP zoned the the position of the speaker of Reps to SW in 2011 despite not being the stronghold of the party. (Though Tinibu had to sabotage it and willingly gave it to Tabuwai with his conspirators in order to justify his marginalisation wailing and his hatred for Jonathan ) What happened that day is still still fresh on our minds.

In as much as many Nigerians including those on nairaland won't be benefiting or will benefit from this NASS leadership brouhaha, but at least it's good to do something that is right for prosterity sake.. Internet never forgets. Most of all these activities will turn back and hunt those that orchestrated it. May all of us be alive to witness such.

Meanwhile, APC should not be confident about NASS leadership victory come June 2019.

Igbodefender, Abagworo and other APC Igbo clowns on this forum should hide their face in the sand.


OilPUSSY don talk finish !

Some of these APC members are very horrible.

Skewed perspective and reasoning - as usual.

Politics is basically a game of numbers; simply put, the SE did not chalk up the necessary numbers so they cannot expect to reap where the didn't sow.

The region consistently contributed less than 15% towards APCs total votes, while others gave as much as 70% or higher; how then can it expect to collect the largest dividends of reward when it contributed the least?

As far as the SW is concerned, the table just turned 4years ago when APC got into power. Before then, SW was in political wilderness. The table will definitely turn but we will enjoy it while it lasted.

In a real Democracy, when someone wins an election, he or she tries to unite both those who voted for them and those who didn't.

But in this largest zoo in the world called Nigeria, corrupt politicians see opposition as enemy. Horrible idiots whose main objective is to loot public funds! Clueless and visionless imb*eciles!
