You people better team of and ask for regional government. Talk to the North Central. Because there is no one North as they claim.

Putindbutt:

When the north are in charge, they protect their interest, same should go for the south. In schools, we belong to unions not only for the overall interest of students but also personal interest. You're nothing but a sanctimonous hypocrite, what you do in your closet is even worse but na your type dey criticize pass. shiorr

Jogs1900:

Why not look at it in a bigger picture that it will help the South to speak in unity and achieve the resource control they've been clamouring for? Whatever decision Akpabio and Tinubu will take will favor the Southerners more.Now, the southernets can speak with one voice

wifeesnatcher:
A southeast senator suppose to head that forum


Southeast didn't even hold high portfolio in the house, at least given them to chair the forum would have been appropriate

Justnation:
It is now that you people remember that south should unite, bloody hypocrites chanting southern unity whenever the north goes against you only to turn against South / South East when the game favour you.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SOUTHERN UNITY, DISBANDED THAT FORUM

Dalohad:


You are deceiving yourself. It is purely a Yoruba Senators Forum (YSF). Any other thing na gimmicks.

Lumarstone:


Thank God am deceiving myself here. But the TR of SSF is from Ebonyi State, is that senator, Kenneth Eze from Yoruba nation? Try and deceive yourself bro.

I left you here so that you won't say I deceived you. Idiot.

Paraman:
so Yorubas were elected as senators in the south east?

PortHarcourtcit:
don't mind those people the earlier we unite the better for us southern people...

zombieHUNTER:


yoruba senators forum
Igbo senators forum
Niger delta senators forum

that's what Tinubu presidency wants it for the south

Dpharisee:
I noticed that South East and South South Senators have been very silent on the issues going on in the Senate with the revelations by Ningi, its like they are standing aside and watching Yoruba and Fulani dey digger am

Paraman:
Well, you can say whatever you want, it won't stop the southern senators forum from existing

toprealman:

Ningi pulled a silly stunt? Senators allocating billions to what they call projects that adds zero value to the society and that is not even included in the budget . ..and you think he is bluffing?

Ofunaofu:


You called Senator Ningi's patriotism silly.

Because he exposed the corruption inherent in Tinubu's government, you now describe him as a divisive element. 

Dalohad:


You are still deceiving yourself, you are probably a baby in politics. Adding one or two Ibo senators here and there to give it a southern outlook does not change the fact that the group is mainly for yoruba agenda.
Yoruba senators killed that group during GEJ's time as president in connivance with the north for selfish reasons.

Reviving it solely to fight your northern

Help me read the following bro.

But we have 12 months to implement this budget and see whether any of these senators here will not implement boreholes, enough solar street lights, road construction, training, and empowerment that will not be up to N500m.”

Meanwhile, Bamidele alleged that Ningi planned a coup against the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

He said, “What Abdul Ningi wanted to do was tantamount to a civilian coup. It is always about Akpabio, never about the House of Representatives or the President. It is not about North and South, it is about our rules.

“I am speaking as Bamidele, not as a Senate Leader. The last time a South-South person was ever given the opportunity to become president was over 40 years ago. We have another peaceful Senate, but why is it always about Akpabio?”

Bamidele went ahead to state that “we must do this right. He (Ningi) said some of us got N100bn, why do we need an apology? If I have anything here, it is not money put in my pocket, they are for constituency projects. Let us do the right thing.”enemies will not work now. The East will not allow you break coconut with their heads, only for your own aggrandizement, while they bear only the pain. They are in opposition just as your were during GEJ's time. Leave them be.

The amorphous group remains dead.

Kukutente23:
Lovers of Nigeria aka APC rats who only wish Nigeria well will be happy Nigerian Senate is divided along regional lines

atobs4real:
Tinubu's big boy just won that seat
Remi Tinubu's formal seat

ddippset:
Yeah that's so cool.

By their next meeting they should come together and deliberate on how to tighten their belts and free up funds for palliatives for the betterment of "their southern region"

You of all people should know that the revival of this forum is for political reasons to grab more power and money and not for any betterment of any southern region.


When these old cargos want to share money you will never hear North or South.

But when they are struggling for that power, position and personal interests you will be hearing North and South.

They begin to play the usual North and South card, And some fools amongst us are still falling for it,,

Imagine celebrating formation of Southern Senators' forum.


Our Mumu never do us

Dalohad:
Victor Umeh, did you consult your constituency and Labour party before joining the amorphous and dead group 'Southern Senators Forum' which is simply meant to help APC senators from SW fight the war that have been declared by the Northern caucus?

As usual they want to use the head of SE and SS to break coconut while eat the fruits alone, sidelining the East as usual.

seunmsg:
After the silly stunt pulled by Senator Ningi and some divisive element in the north, it is good to see southern senators come together to counter the unnecessary and divisive move by some of these disgruntled elements to impeach Senator Akpabio.

This is a bipartisan forum of all senators from the south. APC, PDP and LP. Every politics is local so everyone from the same locality must always come together irrespective of party differences when their collective interest is attacked. Kudos to them all.

senatordave1:


But when northern senators forum was formed,was it not division or what are you blabbing

Ofunaofu:


You called Senator Ningi's patriotism silly.

Because he exposed the corruption inherent in Tinubu's government, you now describe him as a divisive element. 

ddippset:
You're so myopic gosh.

What happened at the Senate, how did it warrant forming Southern Senators forum?

Did the Northern Senators" forum come out to support what Ningi did?
Infact 90 percent of them went against Ningi..

So what is bringing about Southern Senators' forum,? To fight which interest in the case at hand?

See how they used this North, South thing to distract low brains like you?

You have left the main issue and now supporting Southern Senators.
Damn, such a foolishness!

zombieHUNTER:
South East should not join such devilish forum.. anything done with tribalists is of no use or interest.

Buhari was king of the North.. we agree,
but dude carried the whole north along in terms of appointments and capital projects..
be it NE, NW, NC .

If the dunce in Aso Rock today wants to be remembered as a bloody South Western tribalist .. so be it..

whenever shit hits the fan
they remember and scream southern unity..
This were the same sellouts that voted Buhari (twice) against Jonathan..
I guess southern unity was dead in 2015

Today none of them have a good word for Buhari, meaning they support and vote out of stupidity and bigotry..

Deep down we know Budget padding didn't start with Tinubu... But it must stop with him
God has given us a Hero in senator Nengi..
We sane Nigerians must rally with him,



I see they even made one of their own chairman of the southern forum, where the president comes from..
Rubbish.
