Yes but fair competition is the key word, you don't mention competition and still insist on party supremacy. How will your son compete in a class where the principal insists his own son must win?

There's nothing like fairness in politics. So far you're being guided by the law. Nobody should disenfranchise you just because they want to be **Fair**.

No be Osho,, Tinubu or Buhari go vote!

Last time d other contestant was in Anambra to campaign. After Imo State, Anambra has the highest number of local government in South East. He's targeting Anambra federal legislators (Lower House)

The Nwajiuba of a guy can also take his campaign train to Kano or Sokoto.

Truth is South East doesnt deserve the senate sit. We always watch the South West to run our race.

Why is my people too ignorant, annoying and arrogant?

We want the country to divide

We want to divide the south

We hate ourselves even in Igbo land

We hate APC

We're loosers indeed. You know we cannot WIN but want to scatter to prevent South West of the South from clinching the coveted position?

What is our problem in Igbo land?

When Gbajabiamila emerges hope it won't make you sad? I don't see an Igbo candidate winning... I'm Igbo by the way.
Who asked you whether you're Igbo or Yellowbar? Why the unnecessary compulsion to explain your identity? Who asked you?

The politics is supposed to be between the South and The North, but some people want it to be between the North and the South West.

In the North, it's about sharing things among North West, North East and North Central.

In the South, it has to be only the South West. So, let's see how it goes.

If the South cannot come together, with the South West ready to make sacrifices, everything will eventually go to the North.

The language will now be, "if you no eat, scatter it"
Is it not better?

Sanwo-Olu was chosen and anointed by the party even before primaries, so Ambode contesting against him was like contesting against the whole party. The primaries was just to fulfil all righteousness. There was no contest there. Ambode didn't perform so poorly that an MD of an agency under his government will beat him that mercilessly in their party primaries.
Let me ask you, how did Sanwo-Olu merit the overwhelming support he had prior to the primaries?

The time has gone when political leaders are permitted to speak with both sides of their mouth and expect to be unchallenged.

You either altogether remove fairness and equity from the national political lexicon or stop pretending it exist when it favours a section of the country.

While at it remember to remove federal character and every other hypocritical policies that affect admission tailored to carry the weak North along, after all, there is no fairness in politics.

You're wrong!

Federal character has to do with **Appointments** not an elective position.
If you're talking about Federal Commissioners and other government parastatals then you're on the right track.

But trying to use the principle of equity, federal character and fairness in an elective post is pure disenfranchisement.

Personally for me, I dislike federal character principle. I did rather go with qualified hands, people who will do the job, Meritocracy should be considered before any other thing.

The first one was talking about traditional rulers from Yobe state.. Probably endorsing a son of the soil to head the lower chamber.

Second one,, I saw another pressure group with a different nomenclature rallying support for a compatriot. (the same thing they're doing for Nwajiuba in the East)

Third one,, Ndume had a private(they didn't release the contents of the chat to the public) talk with VP.


Nothing concrete on your news source/link.
I expected a direct quote from Buhari ,, Oshomole or Tinubu telling one of the contestants to step down.

Whether appointed or elected it's all about politics and you said there is no fairness in politics. Why do we insist on rotation of presidency between North and south and between the major religions, isn't it for fairness in politics?

Well, let's not pretend as if we don't know APC leaders have been mounting pressure of the other people to step down. They swore they'd never allow what happened in 2015 repeat itself this year.

If the party has adopted Lawan and Gbaja, then it isn't a fair contest anymore, cos the adopted people have been given undue advantage. That's where I am driving at.

Ninth Reps Speakership: Yoruba group endorses Nwajiuba ahead of Gbajabiamila
ON MAY 30, 20197:41 PM IN NEWS BY NWAFOR
By Monsuru Olowoopejo
As the race towards the next Speaker of the House of Representatives intensified, A Pan-yoruba political group, the Yoruba Youth Movement, YYM on Thursday endorsed Emeka Nwajiuba for the seat.
The group also said its decision was in consideration of loyalty and experience in which it rated Nwajiuba as first among equals.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Kola Kayode, in Ibadan, Oyo State, YYM argued that its decision on Nwajiuba was basically to balance the equation among the six geo-political zones of the country.
While many had expected that the group endorsed Femi Gbajabiamila or other candidates, YYM stressed that it choice candidate was also not selected based on religion rather on competence.
“If we look at it religiously, you will see that a southern Christian is what is needed to balance the scales in the ninth House of Representatives,” the group argued.
According to the YYM, between 2015 and now, the Southeast had doubled its votes in national elections” and so the distribution of the positions of principal officers of the House of Representatives should reflect national unity, balance and cohesion, with the Southeast having the speakership slot.
“Since the presidency is in the North-West, VP in the Southwest; Northeast angling for Senate presidency, South-South gunning for Deputy Senate presidency; North Central, deputy Speaker, the speakership should simply go to the Southeast.
“And talking about the Southeast, Nwajiuba’s loyalty to President Buhari since 2003 is a clear demonstration of the needed qualities,” it added.
The group noted that Nwajiuba, who was House Committee Chairman on Land, Works and Housing, was initially a senior adviser to one-time Speaker, Aminu Bello Masari.
“This experience, when combined with his three law degrees, makes him eminently qualified for the role of Speakership,” the group argued.
It added: “Beyond his consistent loyalty to the president, he was a key actor in the APC constitution drafting committee and much later ranking member of the House of Rep between 1999 and 2003”, the OYM emphasized.
