It's very unethical and immoral to have a senate VP who is on trial for corruption, it's simply not good for the party and their talk against corruption.

I'm sure they will block him and they really should based on his on-gong trial regardless of what this man is saying about politics in the SE.

Igbos Have Themselves To Blame For Voting Atiku - APC

The ruling APC said it does not deserve any blame for not zoning the position of Senate President or Deputy Senate President to the South-East.

Rather it said the South-East should blame itself for queuing behind Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP in the just concluded general elections.

The party was reacting to the outburst of Orji Uzor Kalu, who said that unless the APC makes him the Deputy Senate President of the 9th Senate, he will fight to become the Senate President.

Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a chat with Daily Independent said while nobody is stopping Kalu from contesting for the position of Senate President, the reality is that he cannot win since the zoning arrangement didn’t favour him.

According to him, rather than getting angry with APC leadership, Kalu should blame his people in the South-East for putting all their eggs in one basket by rejecting President Muhammadu Buhari and casting over 90 percent of their votes for Atiku.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. He can contest for the position of Senate President. But the issue is, can he win? Nobody is stopping him from contesting. Igbo people always play themselves out. So, Kalu cannot blame APC.

“He should blame his own people from the South-East. He should blame them because they don’t know how to play politics. They play politics like a one-way thing. They all voted for Atiku in the presidential election. So, now that Atiku lost, who will help people like Orji Kalu? 99.9 percent of them followed Atiku.

“So, what is Kalu crying for? He should go back to his people and educate them on how politics is played especially at the national level. They should play 50-50. If this one didn’t work, the other can work.

“So, Orji Uzor Kalu must go back to his people and educate them because he himself is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy Senate President. So, if he wants to contest, he can do so. Nobody is stopping him. But I know that he cannot win”, he said.

I believe 'winner takes it all' is a normal norm in the Presidential system of government, and at such won't blame APC if they fail to zone any of the Senate's Presiding Officer to the SE.

It is their choice. But they should know that the Igbo man will always thrive no matter the condition.

Sideline us, incapacitate us, come for our heads, we'll still find a way to survive, as far as the sun rises; our sons and daughters will be informed of the acts of this government, for reference purposes.

You might call it harboring hatred, and passing it to the next generation. Who cares?

Politics is a game of numbers and Uzor kalu should not expect a region that gave Buhari 39% be placed under him.

The south/south deserves the position of the deputy senate president.

The ibos are the enemies of the nation and they know nothing about politics.Of course,they themselves regretted it.The materialistics,tribalistics,and jingoistics among the ibos, are the most useless people on Earth.these same people were the ones destroying the people of Eastern Nigeria.

jaxxy:
Apc does not understand the meaning of unity. They play divisive politics and look for excuses. They may regret their actions soon.

Are Igbo’s not Nigerians? Didn’t sm or many Igbo’s not vote for Apc both in Presidential and gubernatorial? What is wrong with Apc and sectional/vindictive behavior.

I have never seen Pdp accuse any tribe or section in this country since 1999.

APC is a walking corpse bound to be buried 2023 with the end of Buhari tenure.

Small small, dem don dey show OUK red card. In a very 'unsurprising' move, they will resurrect his case with EFCC in court to completely neutralise him after using him to reduce votes and make the inroads they did against IPOB and politics generally in the East especially Abia state. Suddenly he is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy and he has to go and teach his people politics..lol
