Nope! You are igbo, and a christian, you are not qualified for that position. Competence must be of utmost priority. Only northern muslims-NW and NC will be allowed to occupy the positions of SP and speaker.
We are most comfortable with that.
Emeka no dey stress yourself..

Igbos are not yet ready to hold the office of the Senate president, they still need time to build bridges, flyovers and even culverts and also reach out to other ethnic groups in the country. I see nothing wrong with a Muslim senate president, by the way, politics is not the reasons why Jesus come
What are Igbos now ready for? To always be ruled and by fire by force at all levels?

I would have said he should be given but what political value does Igbos give Tinubu? These people would always malign Tinubu who did nothing to them but accommodated their ungrateful bitter ass. Even Ngige, Akabueze, Orji etc whom Tinubu helped yet they refused to campaign for Tinubu.

I don't want a situation of bitter people sabotaging Tinubu.. Imagine another situation where the Igbos refuse to support Tinubu again. That's like wasting the senate President position on them. Please give the senate President to those who will appreciate it.
Stop making that mistake of saying give the Igbos senate presidency. You can give it to Orji Kalu if you want it won't change anything in my life. With or without sp position OUK is supper rich. Ordinary igbos don't need that position, give it to whoever you want. If possible give your ministers to Yorubas and hausas, las las we will be fine. If we survived Buhari and waxing stronger what makes you think Tinubu will bring igbos down?

Now that Buhari whom you voted has done 8 years how are you better than Igbos? Keep the sp and do those things you promised during campaign. That's more important than the sp if Tinubu can manage to keep hold of his stollen mandate

How can someone not be ready because of ethnicity? It sounds more tribalistic than logical.

Good luck to him.

Obi's history of politics of hatred and division below. Nigeria dodged a bullet.
You are a fool. Nigerians heard Obi well during his presidential campaign. You can only tell that to your follow foolish urchins. Who do you intend to convince with that narrative aside urchins?

Umahi, soludo and Orji fought Peter Obi just so as to achieve their ludicrous goal of becoming the president of Nigeria.
You guys will get exactly what you all deserve!

appointment to sensitive positions are done to reflect ethnic balancing , not according to how each zone voted during election. Or do you expect that in a presidential race where candidates are fielded from diverse zones, votes from all regions will go one side? Na. That is not to say that Igbo senate presidency will alleviate the suffering of an average Igbo man. Ask the people of yobe state to know how far

Senate Presidency of Nigeria is not for second class citizens like IPOB goats.

Igbo can be appointed in some other positions. Even Umahi can be given Majority leader. Tbh, I don't mind Umahi as a Senate President but Igbos are generally ungrateful. They won't appreciate it for Umahi but will continue to act bitter.. so what's the essence?

Ogboni, go and sit down.That your copy and paste you saw in the other forum is what you brought here to deceive your self.Go and sit down, cos thiefnubuu stolen mandate must be recovered either by force and by fire cos your drug lord will never rule this country, no matter his criminal agborotic way of winning.

I think the Senate President should go to the South South! We can take someone from an Igbo speaking SS state… especially Rivers. From the SE? MBA!
The SE politicians should go and work on their politics and people first, then they come back to negotiate.
They never ready!

lol. I am Igbo sha and its absolutely true we can be ungrateful at time. In terms of politics and alignment, I feel orji has more clout and connections than umahi. But he is tainted with corruption cases. So the image of him might not be too good. As for umahi, I feel APC might consider him more trustworthy. The choice is on the president and the party anyway. But I want tinubu to quickly avoid the mistakes buhari made and Kickstart the process of uniting and healing this country and not too many noise we witnessed in the last eight years with nothing to show for it. Too many golden opportunities to position the country frittered away due to nonsense bigotry, cabalism, incompetence and bad policies.

What value does the senate president bring to anyone apart from the Man who occupies the position and his family?
