Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has thrown his weight behind the quest that the Senate President’s position should go to the South East.

In an interview with Sunday Sun, Ngige, a former governor of Anambra State, said that both Dr Orji Uzor Kalu and Senator Ben Uwajimogu are fully qualified for the position and should be considered by their party, APC.

Ngige said: “We have those that are ranking now. We have Ben Uwajimogu, he is now a two-term Senator, he is coming back from the ruling party.

“We have Dr Orji Uzor Kalu. Orji Uzor Kalu was a Federal Assembly legislator during the military regime, it’s counted, because it was a National Assembly, so he has got some ranking.

“Therefore, Orji Uzor Kalu is also qualified. Okorocha’s case will be determined before then.

“We now have some senators unlike the last time when we had zero non-party senator coming from the Southeast. There was nobody at all. So, the Southeast should definitely be in the equation, I mean the proportion of Senate presidency.”

Ngige also spoke of the just concluded general elections, condemning the violence that trailed the polls in some states.

Okorocha will be good

Orji uzor Kalu

Gistpeeps:
Okorocha will be good

Good for what? We already have a clown at the Senate house in the person of Dino Melaye, having another as SP will be highest level of Iberibeism.

Igbo people have already made it clear that they don't need the position so what is Ngige talking about??

Okorocha is better than orji kanu

Ekwunife is better
Oduah is much better

Story story...... story

Senate president must come from South West

If we had someone like Ngige as a Senator, no problem. He can occupy the SP seat.

The problem however is that Igbos don't deserve the seat. They stated that they don't want the seat and so, actively worked against the APC.

Igbos here on NL said they don't want the Senate Presidency seat. Therefore, nothing for them.

which Igbo?


Igbo abi Igbo (weed)

Amuocha:
Ekwunife is better
Oduah is much better

Stella? ?? Another Etteh!!!

no dey deceive yourself, we all know that that's not possible even in the next 25 years unless God intervenes

That's how it should be but unfortunately majority of igbos hate APC and any igbo associated with APC. And APC is the rulling party now

well that will not stop me from contesting for the presidential seat in 2023

Chai saraki just collapse overnight

Who go give SE man power for this kwantiri

Ekweremadu is the best candidate. Must the SP be from the ruling party?. Which part of the constitution says so.

nonsense!!! u just wan mock Igbos abi, no worry Thunder from Aso Rock go soon Locate you.

Satan66:
An igbo is better than an afonja in every way apart from, rape, killing, skull mining, pedophile and secs with animals.

No wahala.
Come and collect Senate Presidency seat na.

I think if APC really intend to be more National Party in nature, it'll would be better to give SP to South East by not thinking of winners take all.

Is okorocha a two term senator?
Pls what makes him qualified?

You reap what you sow, simple!
