dot in circle!

Chinkoalhaji34:
While the idea of equal representation is commendable, this bill may not be the best solution as it could potentially limit the democratic process and disregard the qualifications and merits of candidates from these regions.

Justiceleague1:
if this bill succeeds,just know the north has won.

This is a grand plan to stop Tinubu who's putting them in their places.

Do you think they are happy for example,that the position of the Comptroller general of Customs,a position they held for decades,is gone?!!
They don't have FIRS,COAs,IGP,etc..

If this bill scales through,the next president will definitely come form the north,the north east and trust me,it will be either Kingibe or Ahmed Lawan.
The arewa forum will instruct and direct all northerners and their religious adherents in the middle belt and places like auchi to follow.
As usual,the ever stppd ronus,who are already accusing the Igbos of this plot, will continue to attack the Igbos for just no sensible reason and thereby ruin south's chances totally and trust the north to capitalise.
It's just so unfortunate that we have these abomination people in the south.

Justiceleague1:

A northerner sponsors a bill and all of you ronu people are attacking the Igbos directly and indirectly. We pray this bill doesn't scale through and Tinubu continues cos if it does,the north will certainly capitalise on your usual behaviours to jeopardize the south chances and rally round the NE.

Amendment of the constitution, as regards Presidential elections will mean equality for all gwo political zones
No zone should be marginalized or barred from ruling the country.
Trust our politrickcians, they will scuttle the move due to selfish interests.

GanagiBitrus:
Presidency should be rotated among the 6 Geopolitical Regions, for the sake of Unity, Peace & Fairness.
No region should be marginalised.

Either this or Restructuring into Regional Govts.

GanagiBitrus:


You are talking more of politics than humanity.
Look, Nigeria came into existence via a forced Union of Diverse ethnic nationalities & it's only sensible that such groups have a say in how they wish to co-exist peacefully as one nation.

But, If you feel rotational presidency is not good enough, I gave an option of regional government which I believe will engender healthy competition & make every region to strive to be self-sufficient. You would be surprised the progress made by each region after a decade.

Codes151:
great. But they would also ensure that learned and educated, experienced persons attain the office.

So we don’t repeat the mistake of fielding a cow induced goat like Buhari the brain dead president.

GanagiBitrus:


All the parties will still field their respective candidates from that region. I don't want to believe all those candidates would be brain-dead.

It will now be left to Nigerians to vote their choice, & in this case there will be less voting along tribal/religious lines. The pressure to rig in other regions will also be less.

Alternatively Regional Government is still a viable option.

Go and write it down that the bill can not pass the first reading before it is thrown into into the dustbin where it belongs

Those other zones will not agree oh. Especially the North.

Sometimes, I wonder what in God's name some of our legislators smoke.

casualobserver:


What is wrong with NE producing the next president? Is there a law that says Tinubu must do 2 terms? You have a right to contest but you earn the privilege to be president.

Oga this is a democracy, you get more votes you win….end of story!

Elections are about votes not turn by turn, not tribe, not zone. Atiku contested, if not for the shortsightedness, impatience, lack of foresight and sabotage by Obi, Atiku a northerner, will be president today, turn of the south or no turn of the south, emilokan or no emilokan. It is how many votes you have that makes you president. North can rule 40 years at a stretch and heavens will not fall. South can rule 40 years straight and heavens will not fall. Why? Because north cannot become president without the south and the south cannot become president without the North. So if a southerner or a northerner is in power it is because that zone has broad support. What you cannot do is think you can be president by alienating others and then try to force yourself on other by law.

NaMe4:


The North are the most likely to agree. You'd be surprised those likely to resist it are the
politically myopic South especially the West and East who live to sabotage one another.

If the North never considered such principle, another Northerner would have been president today.

You are the one high on whatever you take. When your eyes are cleared, read again my post and you will see where your concern is addressed.

Justiceleague1:

but there's every problem with the south east becoming president.

Lumarstone:
This bill will not see light of the day.
