Igbos see the same kalu as corrupt so it still won't appease them

Apc should just forget about SE

It's possible

Even for the fact that Kalu won his senatorial seat convincingly, how many votes did Tinubu receive in Kalu's senatorial district?

Did Kalu support Tinubu in Apc primary?

Why should someone who worked against you openly be rewarded for anything.

Tinubu wouldn't want to start his government with such move

Akpabio and his region are more loyal to SW than SE.

He who poured water on ground must match the wet ground

Izunaso does not have the charisma but he will be more trusted by the Tinubu people, than OUK.

However, I know Akpabio will do anything to clinch that seat...money for money, pound for pound. I still feel that the MO of APC does not tend towards a SE Senate Presidency.

Hope will weigh in for izunaso while the non support of tinubu by ouk will count against him

Same story again.
After supporting the wrong party and insulting everyone you losers always end up begging for something that you don't deserve. Useless IPOB losers.

Izunaso will soon be kicked out. There is a truckload of evidence against him and Uzodinma for rigging elections in Orlu zone, especially in Orsu and Oru where voting never happened legitimately by Uzodinma was writing and churning out cooked results.

Dont worry akpabio is the next SP we won't forget the primaries and how he stepped down let kalu ask lawan he supported

I wanted not to comment on issues like this, because as a Southeasterner, I careless about SP..

But when it comes to the politics of the senate, OUK will beat Akpabio..
1st, OUK is part of the current assembly, while Akpabio is not.

2nd. The current SP, Ahmed Lawan still have some loyalist among the returning members, and I don't need to tell you who he is gonna support among the two..

Even if the APC leadership settle for Akpabio, OUK and Lawan will play another Saraki on them..

OUK command northern allies including former Senate President. Don't forget he can influence some PDP/LP guys from the SE bcs of his previous position.

He may win though Tinubu may not want him

No way.

Rewarding SE on the basis on Political expediency is not the best way to go.

Politics is all about interest, hard work and reward.

The South South merits the position of Senate President based on their astonishing performance and deliverables in the Presidential & NASS elections.

South East should be accomodated with either SGF or some strong ministries.

In term of experience, Kanu is more experience. He has spent more time in senate than Akpabio. But then politicians know how they do their thing.

Same Igbo would call any SE that accepts the SP position Yoruba slave Hausa slave, Fulani slave, Benin slave e.t.c.

Same thing I'm saying, Akpabio cannot match OUK, if OUK decides to throw his all for the position..

That is the expectation but there is a factor you are not adding. A lot of the senators coming in a new. The Northern Governors and the Tinubu factor. Lawan doesn't really have loyalists, he has colleagues who held him down. Those colleagues have their own ambitions too.

That true. And besides, tribe does not matter but competence. Tinubu should pick only South west and northern Muslims top to bottom. There are enough competent Muslims in that area to deliver in his govt. Religion does not matter bro, its competence. Let's try this set and see development as never experienced before.

The Lawan you're talking about, who made Lawan SP?
If APC is interested in Akpabio as SP, a thousand OUKs can't scuttle it.
Very soon, you guys will learn that Tinubu is different from Buhari.
