PointB:


Well Senator Hope Uzodinma is not a first time Senator. He has enough experience to lead the Senate in this period when the central focus should be unity and progress!
If no experienced senator is in the South West, what happened between 1999 and 2007 during Obasanjo's tenure during which the position of Senate President was zoned to the same south as where Obasanjo was from would repeat itself: George Akume who has been in the Senate since 2007 will most likely be the President.

It seems you have been brainwashed to believe the silly lie of the i.diotic OP

The lie about a Swner or even Tinubu's wife being made Senate President is a Lie from the pit of Hell


In Nigeria's politics,it does not work that way......other zones are going to be factored in when sharing positions.......Moreso the North Central did well by voting for the APC in a ratio 4 states to 2 states for the PDP,hence might still retain the Senate Presidency but definitely will not be David Mark

My guy, stop indulging these infantile and impotent losers. Firstly, this is the the usual nonsensical lies the PDP are fond of putting in the public domain to cause discord and polarise Nigerians. Remi Tinubu cannot be Senate President because the number two and number 3 citizen will both not be from the SW. Secondly no SE Senator can be Senate President. The Party with the majority produces the Senate President. Since the APC has no Senator from the SE then that precludes the SE from the position. The sentimental n1twit going on about Tambuwal should tell us whether he became speaker under a minority caucus. These sentimental and undemocratic elements cannot understand that leaders of both houses emerge after securing the support of majority of their direct colleagues. No Party with the majority will therefore surrender their natural right to lead both houses to a Party with less members.

The Party with the majority in the upper and lower house produces the Senate President and Speaker respectively. It is as simple as that and not a point open to discussion. Yet you can expect the usual show of idiocy, delusions of grandeur, childish name-calling and empty chest-beating from losers who gambled all playing bad politics yet still want to unrepentantly hold others to ransom instead of learn useful lessons from their misadventure.

I just get an insider information from top APC leaders that there is big tension in the camp of APC. Bola Tinubu wants his wife to be the next senate president but Buhari is not comfortable with it.

We are watching this APC lets see how they can manage those greedy frustrated politicians from PDP

Edo right? Even when APC Party chairman is Edo? I laff in Japanese!

Like I said, it's APC and Buhari's headache, let me see how you clowns handle this landmine!

APC chairman in not Political position.
Edos most be rewarded with the Senate or Speaker.
The only Southern state(apart from SW) that gave APC 25%.

If APC is dead in Igboland why you want APC senators to vote for an IGBO PDP?

If Igbos want Senate president, they should decamp to APC.

It is never done and only sentimental people will think this is possible. Leadership of the House, especially the Senate, is a crucial tool for a political Party that means business. Remember you are dealing with sentimental and vaingloriously egotistical Nairalanders so don't expect them to have the ability or inclination to face reality.

Apart from that, the VP is already from SW! Given the sharing formula, the leader of the upper house is likely to be from the SS/SE/ NC or NW!

This news is a big fat lie!!!

I pray he win. Though Samsom Osogie will be a first timer in the Senate, if I have my way I will recommend him as Senate President. He has 16 years experience as a legislator. He was in the Edo State House of Assembly from 1999 to 2007. From 2007 to date, he has been in the House of Representatives.

How can Tinubu own VP nd Senate president..

This might just be a propaganda after all.

How can one even believe they are already discussing the Senate presidency when they have not even held a victory speech/party? I doubt this news.

He remained speaker because PDP could not muscle the strength to impeach him. EOD.

Secondly, among all the Igbo senators, list someone that has the credentials to hold that position.


Senator Hope Uzodinma!

If Ngige won the people support he would have won. Even as I disagree with the insinuation that he was the 'best man', best men do always win election, otherwise the unlettered bigot Buhari wouldn't have been president in a country of highly educated and intelligent people. So please forget that best man tales! Beside best men don't make deals in Okija Shrine!

I can see you're still in pain. If not, you should by now desist from using the bold to describe Buhari.

Tinubu must stand his ground, the people will get over it just like they did when he picked Osinbajo. Most people who will cook and not have the best meat in their house would still go against Tinubu for just sneezing. Go for it Jagaban, if Apc is going to implode over it, then it would happen anyway. Yoruba were not well represented in the last administration and we didn't die, so others can suck it too. But Igbo should be given the Speakership of the house, that's the 4th position Jonathan offered Yoruba. Please don't back down Tinubu.

How does describing someone the way he looks indicate pain?

Buhari is old and frail looking - fact!
And he hasn't presented his certificate - fact!

Being president doesn't not diminish facts! So he's an old, frail looking, semi-illiterate!

The Senate President is going to be zoned to the North Central region(Bukola Saraki) while d deputy is going to the south south or south east that means somebody must defect from that region, if not den the deputy senate president will be from Edo state as that is d only senator from those two region. The Speaker of the house is zoned to that region, somebody has to defect as it is not possible for the minority to b d speaker of the house, Tambuwal case was different as he defected from the majority to the minority why he was a speaker. if no one defect from d south east then i see Igbo given the chief of staff

In politics.....you don't demand for position using emotion as a blackmail tool. If you so much had wanted a share.......you shouldn't have dropped all the eggs in a basket.

The Igbo nation will not crumble if they have strategically returned Ngige....and i swear no one..not even Tinubu would have been in a position to deny Ngige that position.

Where is the place of North East here......the SS did not deliver even a state.....but a region that delivered 5 states should be overlooked completely in the NASS?

The Speaker will go to the NE if the NC picks the Senate President. The SE made a mess of the political arrangement of NASS this time.....so again the two heads of the NASS will end up in the North.....just like as we have presently.
