You mean no single APC federal house member from SE? Why have you chosen this path? Smh
I know of a few reps of APC from Edo. I don't know any from SE, be it for Senate or HOR.

Your reasoning is upside down, for mentioning a whole tribe just because of one or two persons.

As per the sharing, can you put forward names of Senators and Reps from SE/SS under the new ruling party that may be considered for posts of Senate president and Speaker?



Good question

And if that's the case, Why must it be NE n NC? What happens to SS n SE?
The S.E. & S.S. did not vote APC. They should not expect leadership positions in an opposing government. That is ridiculous. What should be changed is the constitution that 'spreads' power making for entrenched corruption.

Everyone who follows my posts here knows I'm anything but "tribalistic", but these innuendoes coming from a particular section of this country is becoming too damn annoying.

How come these writers, Chuks Okocha and Onyebuchi Ezigbo,

Very irritating to say the least.
Imagine someone that claims to be no tribalistic made this same comment on the same sentence.
While I'm waiting for Omenka to show me posts/threads where he has ever praised anything Igbo, he seems to have disappeared from thread

True change will come to nigeria when hausa-fulani stop determining what other regions get in the power and resource sharing equation,till then enjoy ur current change.
Re: North May End Up With Four Top Posts In Govt by danny301: 12:52pm On May 05, 2015
Tambuwal is from north west and not north East... As for zoning of key positions in the national assembly, I think APC will always do the right thing are right time. It took them time to nominate a running mate for GMB and many critics said many things but when they finally came out with one, it was a master stroke... Nothing late yet.

Unfollow the thread all you want those curse, believe me, are gonna follow you, your siblings, your parents, and your generations unborn in life and the life after. God is my witness.

You accused me of posting comments that malign the Igbo tribe. You said you "read" those comments. I asked that you upload those comments here for all to see and you went beating about the bush.

You are cursed. Your children and children's children will reap sorrow and misery till eternity if you can't post those comments you read from me that insults the Igbo tribe or any other tribe for that matter.

Omenka can only lie to Nairaland newbies that he's not tribalistic, Let him come and tell me that lie, I'll just give him a Spartan kick! angry

Exactly. The SE knew they lacked the numbers to play tribal or sectional politics, yet they proceeded to lay their necks on the slab. They can only continue to whine, that's all that is expected from them anyway.

Also, tge SW didn't hold any key political position under GEJ's government.
Re: North May End Up With Four Top Posts In Govt by isbish(m): 1:03pm On May 05, 2015
Call us Northerners, Hausas, Mallams, Abokis etc. call us anything you want. We are all in for a new Nigeria. the SE and SS wont be represented as much as you wish because of obvious reasons from the last election. You call us illiterates but God in His infinite mercy taught us the art of leadership and politics. We have got the numbers and resources here though a lot not yet harnessed, which would be over time. You in the SS have the oil, which is the bulk of what profits this nation. We are in this country together for better for worse and until and unless a divorce happens, which I really dont see happening soon, you guys should grapple with the reality of things at the moment, which is that a Northerner is your president. Call him baba one chance, aboki, fulani illiterate, terrorist, boko haram, mallam or whatever you choose, he still remains your leader for now until God chooses to terminate his reign. GMB is our president and he will do everything good within his power with you haters or without you to salvage Nigeria for us all. May God help us all. As a nation, I believe we deserve to be better placed among the committee of nations than we currently are. Its well with us.

Do you know how annoying it is for one ignorant fool to accuse you of something utterly untrue? He said he read those comments and all I demanded was for him to quote those comments of mine he claimed to have read. Is that too much to ask?

Rose2014:
So NE is no more North abi? But u don't care if SS and SE are in the equation

For Yorubas eh, once they're playing second fiddle to their Fulani masters, the rest of the positions can stay in the north

Just read your post again. D only south u know is SW with a very inactive VP position. D rest of the positions can go back to your masters even though they already have the most important position which is the presidency

I hope u guys see beyond your noses
Have you all forgotten so soon from GEJ's experience that a VP is not just a spare tyre?
Hence, Tinubu ensured Yorubas got the slot just incase...
The no 3 slot (Senate Presidency) is contentious. But if it goes to the north central(Bukola Saraki), Yorubas gain but if the goes to the north east (Ahmed Lawan), then the SW must have the Speakership.
It'll be very difficult for Yoruba to emerge no 3 & no 4 after no 2 has been sealed.

That's why Tinubu is fighting tooth and nail for the north east (Ahmed Lawan) to have the Senate Presidency so that the south west (Femi Gbajabiamila)
can have the Speakership instead of Yakubu Dogara from the north east.

Yorubas and northerners are no fools.

How come these writers, Chuks Okocha and Onyebuchi Ezigbo, talked about the four topmost positions of authority going to the North leaving nothing to the South?? Has the position of the VP been eliminated from our constitution?? Is Osinbajo a Northernerhuh When would these guys stop this polarising brand of doing stuffs??

Very irritating to say the least.
When will you stop burying your head in the sand like the ostrich. You know very well that as long as the president is alive, hale and hearty, the post of the vice president is as useless as a tissue paper.

Pray, tell us what constitutional powers the VP has?

Stop misleadi the less informed here, you are an adult.
Re: North May End Up With Four Top Posts In Govt by Sunnybobo3(m): 1:15pm On May 05, 2015
PassingShot:
Can you please name the topmost positions in Nigeria political arena?

I think they're the President, VP, Senate president, Speaker of HOR. The Chief Justice is by appointment and a career position which means it can alternate as situations demand from time to time.

As it stands now, NW has the presidency while the SW has the VP position. The Senate President is between the NE/NC while the Speaker HOR is most likely for SW or NE depending on where APC zones the senate presidency to.

The SE and SS will unfortunately have to settle for deputy positions and other not-so-important roles in the two chambers but they should be adequately represented in the administration through ministerial appointments. And this is because of the outcome of last elections which we already know.
There are three arms of govt; the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. How can the three be left in the hands of Northerners and some people are here defending it as fair. If the table were to turn around, would those from the North accept it?

Not that I really care though.

Wow!!! Coming from the PDP camp that insisted Buhari was a figure head during his first stint in Aso Rock and Idiagbon was the mastermind behind ALL the achievements under his administration. All of a sudden, the post has become USELESS!! Was Atiku useless and powerless??

Again, I say WOW!!

In addition, if we are to strip the article of its thinly veiled innuendoes, what the writers are referring to isn't really the South, but the SE and SS. Now, let's talk common sense and set aside sentiments for a little bit. Four out of the first Six citizens occupy elective positions (president, VP, Senate president, Speaker HoR), and going by the realities of the outcome of the elections, what do you suppose can be done about this other than what seems the likely turn of events?? Bear in mind these positions are to be held by APC members (just as they were by PDP members pre-Tambuwal defection). Who are those elected from the SE and SS under APC that can occupy those positions.

what's my concern if they occupied the whole occupy able positions, those that used to occupied it b4 what benefits did I get,thank God for Mrs Uche ekwunife that out of her own magnanimity to our village, lifted the embargo on water,been imposed on my village through nature and govt,that either u get water through water tankers or u have to frequent miles everyday to get water,such was the experience i encountered visiting village during xmas ,late eighties and early nineties, she did it in this present dispensation, thereby eroding those stress,such are parts of the benefits, so if they can't do it,there is no sense agitating for them,let them agitate for themselves.

You surely know that the Judiciary is not by election rather by succession/appointment.

The legislative arm as it currently stands and being proposed will most likely be shared by NE/NC and SW.

In all honesty, I do not care who holds what position as much as I care about what gets done. In GEJ's administration, the SW didn't hold any of the topmost political positions and it didn't add anything to their misfortune.

The SS/SE and the North that held sway were equally not able to improve the fortunes of their region significantly. So why the noise about it if not for psychological satisfaction of sense of belonging?

sometimes you amaze me so much.

Tell me what is the work of VP when the president is there.

Vice President is just like Deputy Senate President & Deputy speaker. These men have no power at all as long as their principals are still alive.

They are erand men. The persons that call the shots are the president, senate president & the speaker.

So stop trivatising this issue. It is a serious issue. It has nothin to do with bigotory or tribalism.
