As we draw close to the 2023 elections, it is now clear that we have three major contenders for the Presidency which are Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (APC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Mr Peter Gregory Obi (LP). There has been lots of talks on who would be elected President and Vice President but there have been little or none in regards to Senate Presidency. This might be because the Senate President slot depends hugely on who will win the Presidency/Vice Presidency. There are different permutations for the possible Senate President if any of the three major presidential contenders wins the election.

Today, I will focus on the possible Senate President permutations IF Peter Obi wins the presidential election. Peter Obi is from the South East while his vice, Datti Ahmed, is from the North West. So the geopolitical zone that will likely get the nod for senate presidency would be the South West. So I will list the possible permutations from the South West region. The permutations will also depend on the political party that wins majority seat in the Senate.

I personally don’t think the Labour Party will win majority of the seats in the Senate come 2023. They dont even have Senate candidates in some States based on the list INEC released and they only have 1 seat in the current Senate. It mostly likely will be the PDP or APC. If PDP wins (less likely), the major contender for the Senate President Seat will be Abiodun Olujimi (Ekiti State). I picked her because she is currently a minority leader in the Senate. Also she is a former deputy governor and is 63 years. I included her age because both Peter Obi and Datti are in their 60’s so it will only make sense that the Senate will prefer someone in that age bracket as well. However if APC wins (more likely), the major contender will be Bamidele Michael Opeyemi (also Ekiti State). I picked him because he is a three term senator (so he has wealth of legislative experience) and is 59 years old.

So my two major contenders, if Peter Obi wins, are Abiodun Olujimi (Ekiti, PDP) and Bamidele Opeyemi (Ekiti, APC). Other possible contenders are Buhari Abdulfatai (Oyo, APC), Surajudeen Basiru (Osun, APC), etc, but they are lightweights. The likes of Oluremi Tinubu and Amosun Ibikunle would have been very strong contenders if they had indicated interest to contest for Senate but they are not seeking re-election.

I have considered the possibility of States like Edo State and Delta State to produce the Senate Presidency but there are no viable candidates in my opinion. The likes of Ovie Omo-Agege (current Deputy Senate President) from Delta State would have been a strong candidate but he is seeking governorship election instead. I also don't see anyone from Edo State as the likes of Clifford Ordia and Francis Alimikhene, both from PDP, are having internal tussles on who is the legitimate candidate (INEC has even excluded their names from the current published list).

For the Speaker House of Representative, I would say either North Central or North East gets it, but I’m tilting towards North Central because of the role they will play in ensuring Peter Obi wins. But the permutations on who would likely be a strong contender is very complex and beyond my scope.

These are my humble opinion, I might be wrong. You are welcome to list your possible contenders if Peter Obi wins.

So my conclusive advise to Abiodun and Bamidele, and by extension the people of Ekiti State, is that they do the needful if they want to secure the Senate Presidency

God have answered the prayers of Nigerians with Obi's emergence. Obi is the best man for the job.

It is only God almighty that can stop peter Obi from winning the 2023 Presidency

Good to know that many are already thinking beyond the elections proper..

Very unbiased analysis.. Thumbs up

Peter Obi is loved everywhere.

Na Nnamdidi Kanu go be the Senate President of Pandora ipobian enclave.

Detailed permutation, until reality dawns...

Obi will not win so no need to speculate about who will be senate president under an Obi presidency that won’t happen.

lhordspy are you reading? People are coming to terms with reality little by little. Nigerian Politicians only want what's good for them. If they see that Peter Obi is winning they will realign their loyalties. SW will likely get the Senate Presidency if Peter Obi wins, do you think those contenders up there will not want that to happen so they go after their personal ambitions?

your own very opinion. But most importantly you said (IF) Obi wins

we already zone the senate President to the south east and orji kalu is our candidate

We will have to start googling those names to know who they are and what they are.


Just as we always have to google everything about the unknown people, unknow party chairman, unknown governorship candidate, unknow senate and house of rep. Candidate.





What a party!

They should carry on with their system of changing the rules, after all we are watching as it unfold.

I'm flying down from Dubai to Aba next year to to cast my vote to OBI.

God bless Obi and the Obidient family

Jokers

senate president of biafra

Vote wisely

I can see that the author of this rubbish is from Ekiti.
