There are very wretched human beings here who can't even have 3 square meals a day or pay their house rents, yet they will argue on political matters as if the politician knows him/her one on one..These politicians don't give a damn about u if u like hail them till thy kingdom come, never will u as a person gain anything from them..Who does Tinubu even know on Nairaland even if u are from his village and kindred. .

Obi knows you abi?

DaTruths:


Black man and ignorance.

You that is not whiling, what's has changed in the country?

That's why Politicians are riding people in this country, they just feed them Tribalism and they buy it and support whoever is from their tribe.

So it should go to SE?

FreedomArmy:
We from the south east do not need nor are we begging for senate president under a stolen mandate.
Our position together with all obedient family nationwide is for the court of law to do its job and declare obi the true winner of the 2023 election. The whole world knows obi votes on many states where suppressed to allow for the drug lord to emerge
There is no senate president under a stolen mandate

You people are like table tennis ball being played by the north and west and we will play you till you crack

Thats cruel and barbaric

Benwallt:

Akpabio stepped down for Tinubu at APC primaries. Real game changer

Keegan:
Akpabio is the next Senate President.

That will not stop lgbos. They are use to hatred and they prosper in the mist of hatred. Hatred of 52years no fit kill lgbo man , the one under Tinubu govt will not either.

So you can go and sleep

"How come that a candidate of the APC for example, who ran for Senate, had more votes than his party's presidential candidate, in an election that was conducted same day, same hour, same time, following the same process? It could only be conspiracy. It was quite unfortunate that Senators from the south-east fought to win their election, but left the APC presidential candidate to suffer defeat in their domain. How then do you now turn around to ask for number three position when you know in your heart of hearts that you never supported the candidate ab initio? "

This is deep and logical

Kog45:
But why Agbero of South West have Obasanjo as president for 8 years,Osinbanjo as Vice President for 8 years and now having Tinubu as president elect....It seems there is need to learn from Agbero politics and I want to ask why south east governors are not doing enough regarding governance like South Western governors since you guys always vote on competence....It’s high time we shunned tribal politics and face reality in Nigeria cuz I don’t fancy any politicians,just check out the four gladiators in presidential election and tell me how they have been faring since 1999 democracy in Nigeria.Tinubu,Obi,Atiku and Kwankwaso are APCPDP members that have suck us dry.

The people that gives a fuvk live in that building

jumobi1:
Should they have rigged for him? A lot of Nigerians don’t understand true democracy. Tinubu is old, has a questionable background, helped one of the worst presidents in Buhari win election, and OBJ was president from 99-07. Of course South Easterners were going to strongly support Obi. If you think SE should be “punished” for their decision then Nigeria isn’t ready to grow.

your reasoning is so funny and hypocritical, politics is game of intrest, you give and take. You don’t sow cassava and be expecting to harvest maize.

hisexcellency34:

Nothing barbaric

Whiteangel1234:
Senate Presidency should go to the Middle belt or South South.


We Igbos are not interested

It's Obi mandate or nothing ooh

Wakeup....Sope otilo

Justpassingby45:


I THOUGHT YOU have SENSE ALL THIS WHILE UNTIL I READ THIS YOUR POST, IF PETER OBI WA'S DECLARE A WINNER IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL election I BET U LABOUR PARTY WOULD HAVE WON MANY GOVERNOR SIT IN DIFFERENT STATE

If you like keep on indulging everyone with insult ain't you guys tired 😴 of being a bully ? A reasonable person will take a pause and listen to advice .
Your submission is so baseless so if Obi had been declared winner people will leave their competent candidates and vote for Obi's candidate because of Obi? Just take a pause and think 💭.
Politicians decamp to have solid political structure but presidential candidates victory can't sway electorate to vote for an incompetent person . Why didn't APC win Oyo state ? What about Kaduna ? APC Som but lost in the presidential The list is endless.

Saga16:

Why are you more concerned about where presidency goes? Tell me why.

Black matter don tire me I swear, seems like white people were right.

It matters.

You can't eat your cake and have it.

You reap what you sow.

You must take those who risked everything to have a result are fools.

We don’t think alike and I’m happy about that. Your reasoning is shallow. You lack vision.

So moving this country forward doesn't concern you, but about reaping where you sowed?

Does the progress of this country ever a priority? Or is the priority about having your brother as the leader?

Stop beating around the Bush.

This is partisan politics and it is played like this worldwide.

maybe

you guys should learn how to shut up.Everyday on this platform south east south east that.Anybody beg you for political position.They drag wetting you no da gain anything

Very valid argument.

It was the first time I was seeing sitting Governor losing election to the Senate. Seven serving Governors who wanted to become Senators lost elections woefully. That couldn't have been possible without credible election; where a Personal Assistant was elected Senator in Edo State, an Okada rider defeating a popular musician in Lagos, where Asiwaju Tinubu was defeated in Lagos by the Labour Party candidate, how much of credibility do you want to see? I think the two major candidates, Atiku and Obi are bad losers. They need to wake up and take a patriotic position by congratulating the winner in the spirit of sportsmanship. We need to stabilise the polity for the new President-elect to be able to deliver his promises. As per the tribunal, there is nothing that will come out of it, because the President-elect got votes across the country, to enjoy enough spread. It will help enrich our legal jurisprudence, but it won't be the responsibility of the Judiciary to generate fresh votes when the people have spoken on the 25th February. We should never speak of another annulment after the unfortunate incident of 1993. The election has been won and lost.

Saga16:


Wait...

Didn't you just create a thread on Middle Belt this morning?

This guy. U be JJC for nairaland?
You no know say IPOB people dey claim another tribe to cursess other tribes and cause division and promotes their baseless propaganda. Believe them at your own peril 😂

Interoma:


Yes south east our pooo
If you don't like it go hug transformer.

grow up little boy

All this politicians with no electoral value!!!
You that os talking, did you make Tinubu win Edo?!
Very funny man

seguntijan:

While the Southsouth helped Tinubu get the required statutory 25% of 2/3rd of states to win the presidency the Southeast vehemently and openly worked against him, and gave all their votes to Obi who promptly lost to Tinubu.

The jungle has now matured. It's time to reap where you sowed, and the Southeast, not retrospective over why they are out of the power equation again, are asking Tinubu to reward them with the Senate Presidency at the expense of the well derserving people of Southsouth for what they call "national unity" reasons.

Didn't they know that there was something called "national unity" before and during the elections? How can you work for Hero Beer and ask MTN to pay your salary? How can you refuse the offer of Unilever shares, go ahead to buy the shares of Next Supermarket, and after Next made a loss, you ask Unilever to deprive their shareholders and pay you their dividends - all because you suddenly remember national unity?

You cry marginalization when nobody ever deprived you of anything you earned in Nigeria, but want to be rewarded with fruits of the labour of the people of Southsouth as if they don't matter or are non-existent as far as you are concerned?

Look at the facts and tell me who deserves to produce the next Senate President between the Southeast and Southsouth:

1. Southeast gave Tinubu 0/5 of their states.
Southsouth gave him 5/6 of their states

2. Southeast gave Tinubu 6% of their votes.
Southsouth gave him 30% of their votes.

3. The Southeast senators that won their seats selfishly worked for themselves only in the election and neglected Tinubu. Thus they had huge numbers for themselves while Tinubu had almost nothing from their places.
The Southsouth senators that won their seats worked for both themselves and Tinubu. Thus they both had huge numbers from their places.

4. The entire Southeast zone gave Tinubu a paltry 127k votes.
Cross River state alone which is not even the highest in their zone, gave him 130K votes, and as a zone Southsouth gave him 800K votes.

5. The trend of APC's votes in the Southeast is falling in every election since 2015.
APC's votes in the Southsouth has been rising in every election since 2015.

6. Southeast has not forgiven APC for the loss of the presidency by their "son" Jonathan when they defeated their beloved PDP in 2015.
The Southsouth have moved on, forgotten about 2015, and are embracing APC. Their body language suggests that they don't want to be in opposition anymore.

7. According to the present trends, with the Senate Presidency, the Southeast will still NEVER vote for APC in the future. Their unwarranted hatred for the party is too deep.
According to the present trends, with the Senate President, the Southsouth have a chance of becoming another APC stronghold in the near future.

If politics remain a game of numbers, why should APC deprive the Southsouth zone which is becoming a fertile land for them to garner higher votes in the future, of the Senate Presidency in order to placate the Southeast which is determined to remain a political desert that irrespective of how much they are appeased, cannot yield the party any useful number of votes going forward?

You finish work for this your write up comrade..
Respect..

You just gained a follow!

So far you believe politics is a game number, strategy and negotiation.... Any candidate that edges the 3 would be the winner u doubtedly.

We know who had that among the four candidate except you want to deceive yourself. Your guess is as good as mine.

No be by gra gra.

Person travel all 36 states while other candidate travelled less than 30 states, yet he's sick 😂. Dey play!

They not only should be punished, they MUST be punished. They must be made to understand that their noise is just noise and nothing more. Vote logically or be relegated politically and now going forward economically.
