To be fair.. SS is more deserving of that position for their role in APC's victory at the polls..

The SE can settle for majority/minority leader or chief whip.. it's their own doing.

The SE has to take a seat.

There were far more votes for the ruling party from the SS.

The SE just had Ekweremadu despite foisting himself on the seat whilst the SS stood aside and watched.

The SS is Nigeria's foreign exchange earner and must be compensated.

Most recently, the SE has voiced that they don't wish to be part of this family and they've not come out recently to denounce such claims .

what do you think?do u think they should be part of the family? Thank God u are saying this tomorrow u will deny it, every well meaning igbo man is not interested in this entity called Nigeria I know u are aware of this but for u to maintain ur imaginary one Nigeria u will need them.

When pdp were in power sharing of positions were based on geopolitical zone formula, but since this senseless party assumed office is now based on voting formula, and someone will tell me that apc is not dividing Nigeria.

Yes you are correct and I'm sure the party will zone the position of senate leader or majority leader in the house of reps to the SE in compensation. The SE deserves some kind of presence in the NASS leadership

See flat headed Ipob, that could only boast of 2 unranking Senators, begging and prostrating for position of Deputy Senate President.

If South West with 14 APC Senators talk say we should be given Deputy Senate President now, they will start crying.

Afterall we told them before they went to poll to vote wisely but they won't hear.

To me, Omo Agege should be given since both Kalu and Okorocha are not ranking except if the Senate Rules has changed.

Since the bulk of the oyel is from SS, the befitting position for SS is either Nigeria President or Senate President post or nothing.

Ahead of the June 11 inauguration of the 9th session of the National Assembly, former Ministers of Labour and Productivity, Science and Technology, Foreign Affairs and Education (State) as well as Trade, Investment and Industry, Dr Chris Ngige, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Mr. Geoffrey Onyema, Prof. Anthony Anwuka and Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah respectively met on Friday, behind closed doors with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole in a bid to cede the position of Deputy Senate President to the South East.

According to a reliable source at the APC national secretariat, the former Ministers, who arrived at 2.05pm on Friday, were immediately ushered into the office of the National Chairman. Confirming the development, the source stated that the South East is likely to produce the Deputy Senate President in the interest of fairness, justice, and equity.
The source, who also confirmed that the meeting, which was held in the National Chairman’s office, lasted 45 minutes, stressed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is desperately making moves to appease Ndigbo ahead of 2023.

He said: “As the inauguration of the 9th assembly draws nearer, the APC leadership is leaving no stone unturned in order to protect its members and Nigerians at large.
“The national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has met with former Ministers of the last administration, who are also from the South East. Their deliberations were not unconnected to the marginalization of the South East in national positions.

In the same vein, Enugu and Imo State Governors, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Hon. Emeka Ihedioha have thrown their weight behind the candidacy of Dr. Orji Kalu for the position of the deputy senate president in the soon-to-be inaugurated 9th National Assembly. While extolling the virtues of Kalu, the governors noted that the collective interest of Nigerians should be placed above selfish ambitions. They called on the members of the yet-to-be inaugurated National Assembly to bury party differences for national progress, adding that the political class must live up to expectations.
The governors, who declared their support for Kalu as Deputy Senate President, urged the Senator-elect, Abia North senatorial district, to sustain his patriotic strides across the country.

Earlier, the duo of former Senate President and former Governor of Enugu state, Chief Ken Nnamani and Chief Chimaroke Nnamani respectively had called for support for Dr. Kalu’s ambition for the position of Deputy Senate President. The two politicians, while describing Kalu as a good choice for the position, called on Ndigbo to support the Abia state born politician in his quest to clinch the seat of the deputy senate president.

Also rooting for Kalu are some Emirs in the North. Confirming the development, a close ally of a respected Emir in the North West, stressed that the choice of Kalu is borne out of the former governor’s goodwill across the board. He noted that Kalu, though a Catholic and Igbo by origin, has a close relationship with people of other tribes. The former governor, who is said to be reaching out to political associates, friends and leaders of the APC, has promised to bring to bear his political and business acumen in the national assembly if he is given the opportunity to serve as deputy senate president.

In the same vein, a pan Nigeria group, National Alliance For Equity and Justice, yesterday, charged the All Progressives Congress (APC), senators-elect and other stakeholders to support the former governor of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu to emerge as the Deputy Senate President, in the interest of equity and fair play.

The group in a statement jointly signed by Mazi Chukwuemeka Nwosu, Hon Akinola Akinyemi and Alhaji Hassan Jubril said electing Kalu, who is the senator-elect for Abia North, as Deputy Senate President will reflect balance and federal character in the distribution of principal officers in the Ninth Assembly. It noted that the former Abia governor has worked hard to popularise the APC in the South east since he joined the party, as well as for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential poll.

The survey is a simple survey to find out Nigerian's preference for either paid employment or owning their businesses.

I will be most obliged if u can spend like 3 mins of your time to respond to the survey. Thanx
