Will Oyo and Rivers PDP do the same? Will South south abandon their own? South west is ready to support Akpabio, South south isn't left out, with the help of Northern APC, Akpabio for Senate president is sealed

You don't understand politics

Is there anyone APC will present that PDP will support? They will always be against anything backed by the APC, so this is not surprising in any way.

Also I see those people who said Tinubu won't win the presidential election throwing caution to the wind again. They are always fast to jump on anything against Tinubu and time and time again, the man as always proven them wrong. Well let them enjoy this few days of bragging again until Akpabio becomes the SP when they will revert back to their default mode of always wailing.

Finally, I'm glad they have agreed now that Tinubu will be sworn in as the president, they may not agree by their words but by mere discussing Akpabio as SP who has been nominated by BAT, one way or the other, they have agreed.

I also see some southerners shouting that what PDP is doing is great, they have forgotten that those people are rooting for a northern SP, before they'll latter come and be castigating Tinubu for not evenly distributing appointment o.

And unfortunately for PDP, constitutionally, SP can only come from APC which is the majority party, so wether they like it or not, APC will still be SP.
it's similar to how ACN then supported tambuwai against PDP choice of mukailat for speaker... During GEJ time... it's Politics... Akpabio need to campaign well simple and opposition guys vote matter on nass floor that day

I stand with pdp on this why will you elect a known thief to be the president of the Senate.apc will never know peace.
What you or PDP stand with foes not matter. Majority carry the vote. Why are you afraid of thief as just a class captain of people making law? Na ministry of finance or Petroleum?

Akpabio's disposition is questionable and he can't be trusted. No to Akpabio's candidacy. He's unstable

PDP senators ko northern senators ni. We know their game plan. Those people are senators from the North.
We Southerns will never allow the North to have their way.

A Northerner, not again, we will never give any Northerner any appointment again. It won't be business as usual.

Buhari regime is over, the North will never rule Nigeria again [/color]
How is it possible? Dead dreams
Re: Senate Presidency: PDP Senators-elect Reject Akpabio by valETA1(m): 6:32am On May 07, 2023
PDP is a mediocre but non-existent party, so their words hold no water. But but I thought Atiku was suppose to be the president, rubbish.

There's no PDP governor dead or alive as formidable in projects rendering like Akpabio, the last I check, he was the only uncommon transformer in PDP, he's no more there children be crying.

PDP and Igbos can wail forever, Akpabio is SP, signed and sealed.

After Asiwaju tenure, power is going to the North

Know this and have peace of mind.

If you understand politics, you should know that the opposition parties can be easily penetrated..LP, YPP, PDP, NNPP and SDP.

Don't forget that all Rivers state senators are voting APC...SDP will vote APC too.
NNPP can play ball if APC offers them something tangible.
Think about it .
is it APC or the candidate campaigning like gbajia did 2019... But then I don't think Yari is popular enough to beat Akpabio in a contest... but I think speakership is where issue go happen I don't see Abbas from kaduna winning since rumors suggest he has been annioted... Again APC should learn from 2015 let those interested campaign well...

I think 2015 happened because Buhari allowed it to happen...Buhari and Osinbajo is not thoroughbred politician, unlike Tinubu and Shettima. Buhari didn't show interest in who was going to lead the house, unlike the way Asiwaju is showing interest now. Another thing is Oyegun the then APC chairman gave a kinda support to Saraki.
I don't think they will allow the 2015 experience to happen again.

That's true but Tinubu is far different from Buhari in the game of politics...Few days before the election, Tinubu and the party chairman will summon those contesting to the villa and they will all fall into line after all it's only APC members that will contest.

unfortunately, all will not vote for him except he does not have an opponent from APC
Before that day what Tinubu needs to do is to summon all those contesting after all they are all APC members to the villa and ask them to step down for Akpabio.
All these politicians have case files that can be used to dent their image.

fall in line like they're children abi... During APC president primaries did pple not contest...by June tins ll be clear...

Every body will campaign...That is what Akpabio is doing already.He even demonstrated by going to ph with 40 senators across party lines...APC, PDP, NNPP, LP.

Its APC family affairs and I believe they will settle their issue before the D day
