There's absolutely no excuse why the South East shouldn't get the senate presidency, unless Orji Kalu is not in good relationship with Tinubu, which I suspect. If Orji hadn't won his election, we would have been hearing how Igbos sabotaged themselves and have deprived themselves of the opportunity for SP, so what's the excuse this time around??
Who senate President help? Except the rogue politicians. Their constituents will still be impoverished.

Can you tell us the contribution of Kalu or the South East in general to Tinubu's Victory?
It's time to let the SE know that they can't abuse and insult everyone and expect to reap where they did not sow.
The SE only deserves minister of state in this administration.
What are you reaping? What did Buhari supporters reap other than sorrows, tears and blood. Better go and double your personal hustle if you want a good life

I know it is Akpabio, he really worked hard for Tinubu in Akwaibom, APC came second with good number of votes especially in his Ikot Ekpene Senatorial zone.

OUK intentionally voided his vote to BAT and posted it to mock him, his switch to Lawan was so embarrassing.
excertly grin and he is now crying for senate president,plenty of those Igbo's politician secretly work for obi ,sitting on fence

I'm waiting for when Nigeria will get to the point of neutrality. A point when people will no longer idolise and worship these corrupt leaders.

Why are we always hailing politicians? Of what use are they to this country?

This same Akpabio has looted Niger Delta dried. He's a billionaire who's nothing to offer you and me.

God's will Akpabio is the next SP.

OUK might be the next senate leader.


Congratulations in advance to the uncommon personality in person of G.A

I doubt. Somebody that wasn’t present at presidential rallies, that did not deliver votes, that wasn’t present when everybody who is anybody was in Portharcourt.
The slot of Abia and the SE which Kalu would have taken has been given to Benjamin Kalu as deputy speaker. Benjamin Kalu is now more important than Uzor.

The same way una praise Lawan, his tenure is over with nothing to write home about but trillions of debt.
Now supporting the same Akpabio that just finished as a minister with nothing to show but sharing Ghana must go bag. He has a case with EFCC for embezzling billions of Naira.

What’s really wrong with una?.

Don't mind them. They know that Akpabio has a rope tie around his neck. Onec he trys to stand up for the masses they will just touch the rope. That's why they consider him not for his state or zone

As far as someone from the South is ruling Nigeria, we are happy with it. We don't want anyone from the North anymore.

Buhari should vacate office with immediate effect because his regime is over.

After Buhari leaves office, no one from the North will ever rule Nigeria again

The South has taken over

Of all the positions, senate leader is probably the one where loyalty as a party man is most required. Whereas SP is leader of the whole house, senate leader is the leader of the Party caucus in the senate. It is not a position for someone whose loyalty and commitment to the party is shaky.

In fact I just read that he is suspended for anti-party activities and the suspension was ratified by SE chapter of APC yesterday .

I need TINUBU to exempt Ibos from his ministerial cabinet. We igbos blows in proportion when we're pressed. We're not begging for that crumbs.
I want whatever projects that have been done in the southeast... Nobody should commission it. Let there be a standard railway guage line linking the whole 5 eastern states

Can you please tell the whole world why the southeast should be given the office of the Senate President?

Do you think good things are given to people on a platter of gold?

What did the southeast contribute to the success of the party in the just concluded election?

Nobody celebrates failure or betrayal.

The excuse is that APC/BAT didn't get significant votes in the SE whereas senators from there won handsomely.

They can't reap where they did not sow or where they sowed selfishly.

Is it from the voters who we're selecting an SP from? So why should the fact that APC had a low vote count from there prevent geopolitical balancing from being effected?
Giving it to SS is also geo-political balancing.

Have you forgotten how OUK worked for the emergence of Ahmed Lawan as the consensus candidate of the APC in the build up to the APC primary election, a move that later back fired.

Do you honestly expect Tinubu to endorse the same OUK who worked against him at that important point in time?

I personally wouldn't think or do so.

It's pretty simple...
Orji Kalu didn't work for BAT like many of the eastern APC members didn't and that is why they have been suspended by the party.

Orji Kalu even delivered an invalid vote for Tinubu on the election day and cleared his own constituency 😆🤣
