Tanko would have resigned before now but for the fact that he knew Mary Odili would become CJN, he was advised not to till Mary retired. The exact reason he did so a month after Mary Odili's retirement. They never wanted her to break that jinx grin
Re: No Southeasterner Has Been A CJN Since 1914 Till Date by TooMuchStuff: 8:55am On Jun 30, 2022
All former CJN are automatic members of the Council of State. In a country where Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar 1999 constitution made Islam as the only Official Religion, making an Igbo man a CJN wouldn't flow with "Muslim Country " narrative that the HausafulaniKanuri Muslim North want to project to the world.
That's why Tanko only resigned from the position of CJN when Mary Odili retired. He has been sick and needed to go for retirement since 2016 or so but was forced to stay put however inefficient just to prevent the next in line Mary Odili from ascending the seat of CJN.

What is the essence of this topic must Easterners get everything? Start with one if you can, there are tribes who have not had a solid representation like the east, they never complain that much.
When you are weak politically how do you expect to get this kind of powers?
EAST SHOULD FIRST LOVE THEMSELVES, PARTICIPATE IN THE COUNTRY'S WELFARE NOT SHOUTING MARGINALIZATION WITH ONE MOUTH AND NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE PROCESS OF POWER.

I forgot how you guys showed love to GEJ because he said Igbos are the pillars of his Government.

In fact, you people hated GEJ, not because he is an Ijaw man, but because of that statement he made.... And because he showed favouritism to Igbos..... But you'll come here to pretend like you have love in your hearts.

We both know the only people you love is yourselves.....

You blame Igbos for not voting Buhari in 2015, meanwhile it was not just the Igbos.... But the whole SS too, but you guys never blamed them.

You blamed Igbos for end SARS protest.

I'm sure when Tinubu loses in 2023, you'll blame Igbos again.

Yeye.

So in the annals of Nigerias legal profession and that of the security agencies, you have not seen Igbo professionals, judges and legal luminaries that were erudite enough to occupy such positions but we're quickly cut off before they got to the position proper? It's all because the igbos love Commerce abi? This is the kind of thinking that has made your country the laughing stock ofthe whole world.

I don’t know why ndi IGBOs keep looking for all these useless Nigerian posts, instead of consolidating the Eastern part of Nigeria that should have looked like Dubai by now.

Keep running to Lagos and Abuja.

Don’t unite and build your own homes. Keep struggling Lagos state with the Yorubas.

The one called Kanu is languishing in jail after mobilizing and following ashis from continent to continent. Only to be tricked into the hands of Buhari. grin

Who will even give CJN to any of those cursed bastards from that region?

So that they can plot & execute another coup d’etat like that of Kaduna Nzeogu?

Or so that they can legalize Homosexuality, Cocaine-Trafficking, Human-Trafficking, Organ-Harvesting, Incest, Rape & Cannibalism?

The post of the CJN will continue to be rotated between the Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulanis.

Alagemo Festival is currently ongoing in my village in Ijebu - so, quote me with any nonsense and receive the multiple arrows of death & destruction instanta!
