Is it time to apply fairness and federal character?

Someone should register EyeNeck as an APC affiliated political party. It’s high time.

Hehehehe dis question na very strong question o.😁

Tinubu should look for a Yoruba man from either Kogi or Kwara state as the next INEC chairman.

The next chairman is coming from south South and it will be very tough to defeat Tinubu.

The talk should be when will Mahamud Yakubu be heading to jail for the criminality of the 2023 election in order to set a standard for who comes in next.

E no too go far, na the most easiest question.

It is clear that the Yoruba people have been greatly marginalized because, despite being a majority ethnic, none of the former INEC chairmen has been Yoruba.

So, the next INEC chairman gatz be a Yoruba person.

I don’t care whether they select a Yoruba from the South-West, Kogi, or Kwara—so long as the person is Yoruba.

They should find someone from Akoko Edo or Itshekiri Abeg

God bless you comrade. This is exactly my own thought too.

Next must be Yoruba, they can even choose him from Okun in Kogi, we are fine by it.

I think Mahmood Yakubu should be decorated with a national award for standing and shutting the noise makers.

I no know why I dey always forget our Itsekiri people. Now the president got lot of options to choose from.

This marginalization of the Yoruba people by INEC need to end this time around.

Laptop boys with 30k stipends na their hand work
If joblessness was a person 😂

It should go back to Edo State ...

Jail for what? For conducting the best election we’ve ever had since 1999 or what?

Mahmoud Yakubu should be given the second highest national honor and a huge retirement benefit for a job well done.

Aamin and you too.

Someone from Okunland, Kogi state will be a good idea..

You are liar, they are paying us 5k. I don’t even have a laptop, you can see I am using my phone.

Where I wan see money buy laptop from the 5k stipend?

Me wey I no even see light charge my phone. Where I wan see money to buy light?

Jagaban is correcting all the anomalies:

No Southern EFCC Boss until now,

The last Southern FCT Minister was in 1979 until now,

No Southern Custom Boss until now,

No SW INEC Boss until ---

-Kiss the truth!

Rumours say it's Kwara.
My likely pick is SS, understand he has handed that slot to a former Gov to o-ordinate that.

It should be a Yoruba person if we are to be fair, almost all the regions have occupied the position with some region like SE taking as much as 3 slot.

The next INEC chairman should come from SW

He won't pick a Yoruba for "optics sake."
Nobody has picked from his geopolitical zone before so it won't start with him.

Buhari did and heaven didn't fall. I trust Tinubu that he no kuku send anyone papa

We have many Yoruba from other regions
SS - Itshekiri and Benin, Akoko
NC - Kwara, Kabba in Kogi

..you looking for fairness?..that is good..

..will it also be fair for the East to produce the President..?

..he that comes to equity..must do so with fair hands..

Ttalk:

Buhari didn't pick from his zone.

Yakubu is from Bauchi, NE
Buhari is from the NW

That's why I said Kwara is where the rumours are pointing at. I served in Dino's Community in Gbede so I know they are Yoruba-speaking but not from his zone.

It's a direct Kwara vs SS. From Nov 9, I think Professor Olamilekan will steady the ship in Acting capacity before the new man comes in likely next year.

Presidency is an election. The South East should contest and campaign just like every other region and win.

INEC chairmanship is appointment.

Those are two different things.

But he is Hausa / Fulani,

He should pick from other region with Yoruba blood
SS, NC

Or he should bring back Maurice Iwu the baddest INEC chairman of all times

..they should contest..because you are looking for fairness to snatch 2027..

.."no Igboman will ever be President of Nigeria"..

..will it also be right to say no SW person will ever be eyeneck shiaman..

..game..?
