Alhaji AbdulMajid Danbilki Kwamanda, a member of the defunct Buhari Organisation(TBO) on Saturday said the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Barau Jibrin, is the north’s choice to lead the 10th Senate.

Danbilki Kwamanda, a long-standing ally of President Muhammadu Buhari who spoke with newsmen in Kano weekend on a number of issues declared that Northwest deserved the Senate President to ginger national cohesion.

The tough-talking Buhari’s ally explained that it was politically wrong for either the South-South or South-East to clamour for the number 3 position in the land against the backdrop of the 2023 electoral successes of the All Progressives Congress.

Kwamanda stressed that “They didn’t work for us, they were against the Muslim-Muslin ticket, and now that the ticket has sold out, they are trying to blackmail everyone."

Speaking further, the Buhari ally made reference to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan era where the President was a Christian, the Senate President, David Mark, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Madam Patricia Eteh were Christians.

He maintained: “It is time for the North, even in the North, it is time for Barau Jibrin to be the Senate President. This is our choice and is what we are calling for”.

AbdulMajid Danbilki Kwamanda noted that this past political development didn’t weaken the diversity; adding that the north’s clamour for Senator Barau Jibrin’s senate presidency would strengthen Nigerian diversity.
Kwamanda therefore, enjoined the National Chairman of the Party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to jettison zoning arrangements in respect of principal officers of the National Assembly.

He maintained that “the north has spoken. What’s before us now is Barau Jibrin Senate Presidency and the region would mobilise to actualise it”.

Asiwaju knows best on where to zone it to. Asiwaju can never go wrong in my eyes.

Nonsense. Is this an Islamic country?

Lol, Muslim North and SW own Nigeria (FFK though an idiot was actually right when he affirmed it). I don't know about the South South, but it's time for Igbos to forget the colossal joke Nigeria's "national" politics has become and focus on the SE sociopolitical dynamics, the industrialization happening massively in the East lately is very encouraging- thanks to the likes of Innoson, Ibeto, Seplat etc...Igbos have survived and fared just fine without Nigerian politics for decades, we will always be fine.

Muslim - Muslim ticket that 33% of Nigeria supported compared to 67% which voted against.

This is not a winning argument. APC parliamentary majority has nothing to do with Muslim/ Muslim tickets. If APC Christian Senators and Representatives were to be removed from the APC Parliamentarian then APC will be in the minority.

Interesting...

The northerners have claim to it because during Jonathan, both senate president and deputy senate president were Christians though im not in support of a Muslim as Senate president in the 10th assembly.

Na wa ooo
I am yet to see Igbos jostling for any position under the rubbish APC. Why all the headache. Why don't they concentrate on the rubbish they want to do. Ok let all these other regions go and buy fuel for 100 naira, let them create a separate cheaper market for them,

One thing I know is that Igbos will always be proud of standing against APC any day any time

Why are these foolish iddiots pained that Igbos don't care.

Make them go rest they are other parts of the country that's why It's called Nigeria cos it's made up of more than 30 important tribes, not just the north made it so.

Make this country Sha better.

All except one region deserves it.

Eti ya wayre

The North really sees themselves as Owners of Nija.

They've held Senate president since 2015 and want to continue?

Abdullahi gambo as speaker of the house and finally usman ibrahim as chief of staff to complete the circle...One Nigeria!!! Too much sense wee not wonjure me..

Barawo

So Just like Rotimi Amaechi, SS Politicians are now good for use and dump?

Nawa ooooh.

What is the justification for this

Very baseless argument, Buhari lost the north east to Atiku in 2019 that did not translate to Lawan not being chosen as SP

Nothing concern me with any body wey Dem wan use as their SP cause I know that they are not there to better my life or that of any other person on the street

But for the love of God, some of this northern politicians should stop using all this weak arguments to mask their phobia for South holding key positions in government..

KingKO22:
Nice one either, NW or SS.

The two region really try unlike the religious bigot and intolerant IPOB that gave 98% to their own


Useless and cursed people

There is nothing like either here, it's SS turn to produce the SP

Hmmm. So, During President Jonathan's Presidency, The President, Senate President, Deputy Senate President, and Speaker were all Christians. And nobody seemed to cry about religion then. What's different this time?

Seems the earlier we recognize it as that, the better.
Someone allegedly said religious war, most took it out of context, not analyzing with a clear mind what was said.
We are seeing the results now.
Anyway, let the north, Muslims, christains, babalawo, jujumen etc control the whole country, as I always say, the righteous will survive and be fruitful.

Something dey worry dis MUGU

Don't mind this paid propagandist.
The SP is going to a Christian, a done deal.

Dem just dey make mouth,at the end of the day,SS is getting senate presidency
