[quote author=fergie001 post=136780263]He won't pick a Yoruba for "optics sake."
Nobody has picked from his geopolitical zone before so it won't start with him.

...and you think that TINUBU isn't obtuse enough not to murder "OPTICS?.
TINUBU doesn't care!!

Tinubu should look for a Yoruba man from either Kogi or Kwara state as the next INEC chairman.
Why the North again? Kwara and Kogi are part of northern Nigeria. Yorubas have been marginalized as shown on the list and no argument about that. SW lokan. You won't see the SW people shouting fighting for their rights when it matters now oh especially MURIC and I don't understand why they are silent, forming enlightened and reserved in a country populated by lousy beasts. Common stand and fight for your right.

E no too go far, na the most easiest question.

It is clear that the Yoruba people have been greatly marginalized because, despite being a majority ethnic, none of the former INEC chairmen has been Yoruba.

So, the next INEC chairman gatz be a Yoruba person.

I don’t care whether they select a Yoruba from the South-West, Kogi, or Kwara—so long as the person is Yoruba.

It should be a Yoruba person if we are to be fair, almost all the regions have occupied the position with some region like SE taking as much as 3 slot.

The next INEC chairman should come from SW
Did u say same about SE when it was time ti succeed buhari ??

All I know is Tinubu MUST serve the 2 terms.
If Tinubu likes, let him appoint Obasanjo or Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar or Obi Ezekwezele or Kwankaso or Umar Ganduje or any of the Obi supporters as INEC chairman, I don't care.

There are 60 days left until the INEC Chairman's tenure expires on November 9, 2025. The Anambra State governorship election on November 8, 2025, will be the last major election Professor Mahmood Yakubu oversees as INEC Chairman.

Who should replace him?
What did yakubu do that you want to replace him? or U want him to sing like a canary bird?

The talk should be when will Mahamud Yakubu be heading to jail for the criminality of the 2023 election in order to set a standard for who comes in next.
Save your wailing till 2027.

It will be promax.

Tinubu should honor Yakubu for not succumbing to ipob intimidation.

Let me ask you:

How lovely will your wailing be if a Yoruba man is appointed as INEC chairmanhuh

Go school, you will not hear.

Try and understand the meaning of tenure.

The igp tenure has not expired. In fact, he is to serve out his tenure, irrespective of his age. That is the law. You are free to wail on this.

Yakubu's tenure, on the other hand, will be expiring by November 9.

I fully support a SW to have it going by the list I'm seen its SW who should be the INEC Chairman and if you are not happy about it sorry you can't do anything about it because they have never be INEC chairman despite providing a massive voting bloc ever since.

If my post anger you unfortunate you can't do nada about it than shout and shout and rest because I don't give a damn.

Abacha didn't allow Akwa Ibom to complete their tenure.
A renounce Professor of History in the person of Professor Okon Edet Uya was just barely 5 months into his tenure when military junta led by Abacha struct to truncate every democratic processes and institutions including Prof Okon Uya-led INEC.
Therefore, for the sake of equity and fairness,the next INEC chairman should come from Akwa Ibom State to complete their tenure.

The next chairman is coming from south South and it will be very tough to defeat Tinubu.
There’s nothing like federal character for an independent body, in fact a non political candidate should be appointed, irrespective of his tribe. Better of he’s based abroad and apolitical

Presidency is an election. The South East should contest and campaign just like every other region and win.

INEC chairmanship is appointment.

Those are two different things.

Emilokan is for his party men. He still had to face the national election and he won.

You’ve had many instances where people said it’s Igbo turn for presidency, Ohaneze made that statement but yet no Igbo man has been elected president through the ballot.

No be by mouth, it’s by action.
