Sharap.. Oshiomole is a first time senator, he can't be Senate President.

Una go just come here come dey talk nonsense.
Is there any law that prevents it or is it just an unwritten rule in the NASS? If it’s just an unwritten rule, I can see it going to the former governor, APC chairman and Tinubu ally.

It is between Wamakko Vs Kalu. But due to APC religion in balance I think the coast may be shifted to SE vs SS.

Let's give it to cool headed south easterner. If they will not misused it this time around

2007 election is the bloodiest in this 4th republic, even though Yar'adua acknowledged the fact that election that brought him was not free and fair. The court still judge in his favour.

The presidential election that brought Tinubu was largely free and fair.

But I'm letting you to know that it is not likely that court or tribunal will nullify a presidential election may be because of cost and the time it involves. And the resulting violence may engolf the whole country..
SE can't handle sensitive posts, thats it. They get power drunk easily and lead people astray

Akpabio and OUK are both recognised thieves. The reason why APC should not be allowed to have the presidency.
Both are living on borrowed life lines,I doubt they have anything close becoming senate president,With time the true candidate will be rumoured.

who made that law?

If I may ask in 1999, all senators were elected as first timers, right? Who then became the Senate presidenthuh

SP has been zoned to the SS already. Oshobaba is our next Senate President...

Unfortunately, we don't care about that.

In my opinion, Akpapio should have it, Orji Uzo kalu is corruption personified, and Abaribe is in a minority party in the Senate
Again, you don’t get it. They don’t determine it like the way you’re doing it. They’ll identify their success in the elections, analyze the contribution of each region to the party’s success, factor the regions the President and VP are from and then zone available positions to regions based on all these factors. It is after they’ve shared the available positions to regions that they’ll move to the stage of who is available in those regions. It is not arbitrarily done.

Why do you want a cool headed guy?

So that he will become another Rubber stamp Ahmed Lawan?

I just wish this country will be having opposition as Senate president.

Exactly,
That is the main reason why Lawal sabotaged Tinubu in yobe

Zandena:
I think and believe a committed and loyal members of the party like Orji kalu and akpabio should be positioned for SP inorder to balance the political equation most especially that the Speakership position is likely going to north west.
Ahmed Lawan should have nothing to do with that position again as the VP--Elect is from the same zone of NE. The honourable thing to do is to support his school roommate Orji Kalu to succeed him as SP.
NC currently has APC chairman, the position of SGF can be zoned there to fill the gap with other regions in addition to the position of Deputy Senate president.
💯

Tinubu will not even want him as SP because of what happed during the primary election.

Lawan and kalu sabotage apc in their senatorial zone,
They both won their seat and tinubu lost their senatorial zone,
No be juju be that,
Umahi also play the same game,
Only akpabio and oshomole won their senatorial zone for tinubu

Re: The Race For Senate President Begins. See The Candidates by dominic17: 5:04pm On Mar 04, 2023
That will be a smart move by APC as is going to give the region sense of belonging and boost the region confident on the party.

Adam's the Osho Baba, has the right of first refusal.

I give it to him. He was loyal to BAT from the word 'go'!
Re: The Race For Senate President Begins. See The Candidates by starstaz(m): 5:16pm On Mar 04, 2023
Historically and recent history tell us that anywhere Sen. Uzor Kalu and Sen. Ahmad lawal find themselves competing for same political position, the former will always withdraw his candidacy from such race, on account of a singular reason- they share the same class and room while at university of Maiduguri. finger crossed again,yet.

let us watch and see, it will shock us if minority become SP, but I don't think his Xcellency will give it to anyone directly, we can't predict
Re: The Race For Senate President Begins. See The Candidates by Bukola94(m): 5:47pm On Mar 04, 2023
Thekaghan:
Aliyu Wammako of Sokoto (northwest) or Akpabio(South South) will most likely have it. It will never go to Orji Uzor Kalu for two reasons. (1) he’s not loyal to the president( he was blabbing rubbish on channels TV against the President elect before the primaries) (2) he was convicted.
minus Ouk, who is more competent, have good past records, good leadership qualities and good governance? We need a SP that will carry all regions along including the minority. A visionary leader in the Senate, who will work for a better Nigeria and good governance...

1) He likes Senatorial seat so much & it suit him bc he can talk & he is a Barrister

2) He stepped down for him

3) it is SS/SE turn
