Orji Kalu would have been supported for Senate president but considering the votes Apc received in Abia state, SE lost out.

SS people should be preparing to produce Senate president. SW is ready to support and rally around you.

Those who plant Guava with the expectations of harvesting Apple are only deceiving themselves
So you think igbos would be sad that an efulefu like Orji uzo Kalu is not made Senate president?
APC should even sack him entirely, we igbos will be more happy about that , than him getting the SP.

You talking about harvesting, who told you we care to harvest from APC?

Delusional as usual grin

Political business men.

You don't understand how ibos reason OGA, ibos would love to be integrated but not through someone like Orji Uzor kalu.
Asking APC to rally round someone like Orji Uzor kalu for Senate President to pacify ibos will do more harm than good because ibos will welcome such news with contempt and outright opposition, infact it is similar to how APC and yorubas rejected Mrs Mulika Adeola Akande as HOR speaker because she was running under PDP at the time and instead rallied round a Northerner Tambuwal for HOR speaker. Every ethnic group has an interest and Orji uzor kalu does not represent the ibo interest. Why do u think ibos supported Obassanjo as against olu falae whom according to them does not represent National interest? If u try to foist kalu on ibos, it's like forcing OBJ on yorubas, at the end of the day Yorubas were still disatisfied. The qtn now is are you willing to make an annointed ibo candidate from PDP Senator to truly pacify ibos at the detriment of Yoruba dominance at national politics?

Ibos Hate Orji Uzor kalu as much as they hate Tinubu, they will rally round a Northerner at the end of the day to spite him and a PDP Senator may even emerge as President. And if that North, east alliance EVER happens Tinubu can kiss his second term goodbye because Peter obi will tap into it and use it to his advantage in the build up to the next election.

The best way to forge the North/southwest alliance is to completely alienate ibos from the Senate President office.
We can always compensate them with other sensitive positions for the purpose of National integration, but as for the SP office it should go to SS.

Don't say I didn't warn u guys. Una done start again with una good face even as ibo pple nor send una papa or dey show gratitude
When we are seeking peace, reconciliation and reintegration, we must be realistic and open minded. APC has a slight majority in the Senate. If the party will make the SP concession to the south east, then it has to be a senator from SE APC and nothing else. We all saw how things played out under Bukola Saraki as senate president. A Tinubu presidency can’t afford.

So, let’s be realistic here. Conceding the SP to the SE despite the hatred for the party and the president-elect is already more than a good gesture. It doesn’t have to be Orji Uzor Kalu. It can be Umahi or any other SE APC Senator. What’s important to me is the need to reintegrate Igbos back into national relevance. An Igbo man must be on the table where major decisions about the country is being made. That’s the only way to start the healing process.

Do they deserve the position more than SS who supported us?

They will continue paying for their political miscalculations
Sometimes, we have to look at the bigger picture. NC and NW gave Tinubu this victory. They can both demand for the Senate president ahead of the SS.

This country is terribly divided and we need to start the healing process. I’m not saying SS should be denied anything. I’m only saying if conceding the senate Presidency to the SE will start the healing process, I think we should give it a trial. I’m sure our SS brothers won’t oppose their SE brother getting the Senate presidency.

Did Kalu get votes for Tinubu in Abia state even when he won his own senate seat convincingly.

You think the outcome of the polls won't be revisited?

Una go learn in a bitter way
Ewwwww grin

I didn't know you are actually uninformed.

Please you people should Sack Kalu, we don't care about any useless SP.

We will never vote for APC theives any day, any time.

Bitter lesson say them no give efulefu Kalu the SP? And it will start affecting the Igbos? Then we will learn a bitter lesson because of it? grin

Abeg who senate president epp. Overrated position that can't change the life of the masses. You guys just don't know that Igbos have over grown all this rubbish you are bringing up. Whether Igbo become senate president or not, that will not take food away from our mouths .

You think a Dave umahi Senate Presidency will truly appease the ibos?
It means you don't understand what the fuss, dislike and distrust for the likes of Rochas, hope uzodimma, and Orji Uzor kalu bothers on. Their grouse is purely based on political affiliation and not even competency like they claim. There's a cancel culture for any politician in the APC from the SE. Infact they don't care how corrupt u are in the PDP or how good u are in the APC at all, once u switch to APC u're automatically a villian.

Did mukila Adeola have anti Yoruba antecedents before yorubas ignored her and voted for a northerner? This is purely party matter jare
If a strong northerner from whichever party were to contest for Senate Presidency with an iboman in the Senate, the Northerner may likely win him o. Because Northerners may vote their own especially since it's an iboman he's up against here and ibos and SS will still vote against him too. And A North/SE alliance would have been formed.
It's too risky adventure

Besides umahi is a first time Senator too and he's not eligible for now, unlike Akpabio that delivered his state.
You want to give an iboman political relevance through APC but can the iboman give APC polical relevance in the SE?

Since you want to give an Iboman SP presidency to integrate them I'd also love to nominate one for Cheif of Army staff too u know, to Foster peace and unity😁

The dude really messed up. He deliberately gave Tinubu an invalid vote.
He has been voting for over 20 years but he went and display an invalid vote trying to prove loyalty.

But then again, one can argue he played safe considering the IPOB pressure. His life and that of his family matters.
Kalu made himself clear before the election that if Apc can not microzone the party ticket to SE, Northerners should have it.

Who did Kalu support in the Apc presidential primary?

It's logical for the winners to reflect on the outcome of polls to see those who work against or in favour. It's obvious Kalu work against Tinubu, why should such person be trusted for SP position?

You are very funny
Our people are everywhere including terrorists ravaged north because of our adventurous instincts

There are many hausa/fulani doing big businesses in the east here

Your wives, mothers and sisters selling agbo jedi in the east, what are they looking for? Majority of yoruba have just administrative mindset, hence they hardly travel for fear of not able to compete
Do igbos troop into Lagos for administrative jobs or contracts? It is purely business and that can only thrive where you have comparative advantages in terms of ability to compete and excel

I disagree with this position. We have to bring the SE into considering irrespective of the voting pattern. Igbos are currently very hurt and wounded. Denying them the Senate presidency will further wound them and push them away from national relevance.

We need to make some concessions to them in the overall interest of unity, peace and stability. If giving them the Senate Presidency will help to start the healing process, let’s give them. South south can get the SGF position. A winner takes it all system will only punish the loser. Don’t let’s go through the 5% route again. This country really needs to heal.
I think I disagree with your position here. Igbos are not known to appreciate any form of love shown to them, instead they term it as cowardice, we can see how it's playing out in Lagos. They should be excluded, let them do their worst
