Elusive001:Because of the skewed and lopsided political structure created by Northern military dictators, a structure which gave Northern region 20 new federating units but allowed only 17 new federating units in the southern regions. There should have been more states in the southern regions because land mass is never used in a federal country formed by different regions to create new federating units. The structure allows Northern region to arrange who will preside over Nigeria at every election. |

9jatriot:Aptly stated. A good example is Rivers state. In 2015 the PDP gave Jonathan 1.489 million votes and gave APC about 60k votes. In 2023 what is the total number of votes from Rivers? For the top 3 candidates it's less than 500k. That only goes to show that parties where writing whatever results they wanted in the past. That's no longer possible with BVAS. |

PulaPower:A non primitive, civilized person would call for true and fiscal federalism for Nigeria. Why don't your people call for true and fiscal federalism now that Tinubu is ontop? You can't survive without proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger delta region. The day Tinubu leaves office, you will start to call for true and fiscal federalism with no for resource control. Most ShophistiWretched lot. |

happney65:THE NORTHERN YOUTHS AND THE MASSES - SHOULD KNOW BETTER: Sebi,when we talk about it - that these set of People in the North today - have nothing for Their Youths and their Masses - only for themselves and their Family.e.g El-Rufai- have his Family in the Govt- as Legislatures,etc- the list is long o! -They don't have the Interest of People of the North at heart 🙉,but just - themselves ONLY. But they Pretended - As If They Want To Help The North but the Pattern since 1963- the SAME,SAME. Very Selfish Politicians! |

onuman:I prefer regionalism to federalism.I’ve been calling for us to go back to regionalism.. Crude proceeds from Naija delta you say? When was crude discovered in Nigeria? Before crude was discovered, didn’t we survive? |

That's why our situation never changes upto this moment. It's never about competent rather my people, my religion. Come on Nigeria this is 2025 for God's sake. Looking back we have never had it better. Even this present government was out of that. Not because of competent. |

Olodo, northern presidents appoint southern INEC chairmen, while southern presidents appoint northern INEC chairmen. Before Tinubu, we’ve only had two southern presidents, and he is yet to appoint one—though he’s expected to follow the same pattern by choosing a northerner. What Bashir is pointing out is that Nigeria has had far more northern presidents than southern ones. This imbalance should spark serious questions about fair representation in one of the country’s most important democratic institutions. |

Kukutente23:Bashir is just catching his own cruise too, he is our guy and he already clarified what he meant, The next INEC chairman will be a Yoruba man from Kwara/Kogi axis. |

Obiedun:The real question is this. Where are the presidents that governed during the tenure of these inec chairmen from? Since 1999 the SW has governed the country for 10 years The NE has done same for 11 years The SS for 5 years The SE, NC, NE have been seriously marginalised |
| Re: Bashir Ahmad Laments: Only 2 INEC Chairmen From The North Vs 10 From The South by LegendHero(m): 7:25pm On Sep 15, 2025 |
OfoIgbo:The presidency is an elective post. You must campaign and win a national election through the ballot. Anyone talking about marginalization is just klever by half. INEC chairman is by appointment. If you want to be president, present a viable candidate and let him face the poll. Tinubu will end Yoruba marginalization in INEC, if he does not, then make he give am to a Northern Christian in the middlebelt. |
| Re: Bashir Ahmad Laments: Only 2 INEC Chairmen From The North Vs 10 From The South by Metrofox(m): 7:29pm On Sep 15, 2025 |
The next inec chairman will be from the same tribe as tinubu and will share the name of a PEP, know this and know peace Bashir. That road is blocked. |
| Re: Bashir Ahmad Laments: Only 2 INEC Chairmen From The North Vs 10 From The South by OfoIgbo: 7:31pm On Sep 15, 2025 |
LegendHero:It is the rigged-in Yoruba anf Fulani presidents that keep appointing non-Yoruba and non-Fulani inec chairmen, so Yorubas willfully marginalised themselves from that position, perhaps as a way to atone for their incompetence |

Instead of advocating for electoral reforms that will ensure the credibility of election,what is paramount to him is the region of the personality! Sadly,most northerners think like Bashir Ahmad! |
| Re: Bashir Ahmad Laments: Only 2 INEC Chairmen From The North Vs 10 From The South by LegendHero(m): 8:04pm On Sep 15, 2025 |
OfoIgbo:Yoruba and incompetence shouldn’t be placed side by side. We have the largest pool of technocrats in most field in this country and our leader Tinubu is the best politician this country ever witnessed since 1999. |

This is a distraction. Regardless of where the chairman comes from the rigging and vote buying won't stop. |

Na mumu dey worry dis wan. How many President and Hea of States North and how many South don produce. [quote author=Elfidel post=136806421]Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has kicked against the appointment of only 2 Northerners to assume the position of chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC since its inception. In a post shared on X, Bashir argued that out of the 12 INEC chairman that have have been appointed, 10 are from the South East and South South while only two are from the North., He argued that this ‘’stark imbalance'' should raise questions about equitable representation in one of Nigeria’s most critical democratic institutions. https://x.com/BashirAhmaad/status/1967504313804091658?t=3Ch38cAKCU069OdYOCKzKw&s=19[/quote] |
