While the Southsouth helped Tinubu get the required statutory 25% of 2/3rd of states to win the presidency the Southeast vehemently and openly worked against him, and gave all their votes to Obi who promptly lost to Tinubu.

The jungle has now matured. It's time to reap where you sowed, and the Southeast, not retrospective over why they are out of the power equation again, are asking Tinubu to reward them with the Senate Presidency at the expense of the well derserving people of Southsouth for what they call "national unity" reasons.

Didn't they know that there was something called "national unity" before and during the elections? How can you work for Hero Beer and ask MTN to pay your salary? How can you refuse the offer of Unilever shares, go ahead to buy the shares of Next Supermarket, and after Next made a loss, you ask Unilever to deprive their shareholders and pay you their dividends - all because you suddenly remember national unity?

You cry marginalization when nobody ever deprived you of anything you earned in Nigeria, but want to be rewarded with fruits of the labour of the people of Southsouth as if they don't matter or are non-existent as far as you are concerned?

Look at the facts and tell me who deserves to produce the next Senate President between the Southeast and Southsouth:

1. Southeast gave Tinubu 0/5 of their states.
Southsouth gave him 5/6 of their states

2. Southeast gave Tinubu 6% of their votes.
Southsouth gave him 30% of their votes.

3. The Southeast senators that won their seats selfishly worked for themselves only in the election and neglected Tinubu. Thus they had huge numbers for themselves while Tinubu had almost nothing from their places.
The Southsouth senators that won their seats worked for both themselves and Tinubu. Thus they both had huge numbers from their places.

4. The entire Southeast zone gave Tinubu a paltry 127k votes.
Cross River state alone which is not even the highest in their zone, gave him 130K votes, and as a zone Southsouth gave him 800K votes.

5. The trend of APC's votes in the Southeast is falling in every election since 2015.
APC's votes in the Southsouth has been rising in every election since 2015.

6. Southeast has not forgiven APC for the loss of the presidency by their "son" Jonathan when they defeated their beloved PDP in 2015.
The Southsouth have moved on, forgotten about 2015, and are embracing APC. Their body language suggests that they don't want to be in opposition anymore.

7. According to the present trends, with the Senate Presidency, the Southeast will still NEVER vote for APC in the future. Their unwarranted hatred for the party is too deep.
According to the present trends, with the Senate President, the Southsouth have a chance of becoming another APC stronghold in the near future.

If politics remain a game of numbers, why should APC deprive the Southsouth zone which is becoming a fertile land for them to garner higher votes in the future, of the Senate Presidency in order to placate the Southeast which is determined to remain a political desert that irrespective of how much they are appeased, cannot yield the party any useful number of votes going forward?

SS is even better. You see south East, if you like give them presidency, you're deceiving yourself. They have been wired to hate anything APC. The best bet is for it to go to NW or North central.

Adamu Garbage will answer this oo

Any geographical zone but christian to balance the game please, so that opposition will not use this against our party in the next election.

Why so much interest in PO congratulating the fraudulent elect. Never.

This post and the comments beneath shows how scared the typical Northern man is of an Easterner

I concur. It should not be based on emotion.

Close your ears to noise and zone it to North for 2027 political gains.

I trust the party sha. They take winning serious.

Which region produces it is less of my concern. Of what benefit to any region has previous SP or speaker of house been?
Anyway, this charlatan should keep quite when educated folks are talking. He should be preparing for the upcoming jamb examinations.

Same rhetoric.. quite pathetic

.., if i say thunder now ... No No No No!!!
Lemme not come n be wasting the thunder..
But Mr Adama, you're too fine for rubbish.. Haba, kilode.. kilon shelle, Ogbeni

FreeStuffsNG:


In this game, we must be real, practical and deliberate with our choices. We must stick to the facts and consolidate our bases with the strongest possible instruments of power. It is very necessary for our future political success.

APC will be naive to give Senate Presidency to SS or SE. It is either NW or NC. If the SE or SS want it they should have worked very hard for it during the Presidential elections.

This same method you are using will be used against you guys. The person that laugh last laugh better, this division you guys want to create will hurt you and your gener*tion watch and see. If you guys like give the senate president to someone from Pluto, that won't stop Igbos from not becoming successful.

Give everything to the north

Let those who voted for apc in the south know that they do not matter in the grand scheme of things

One thing you need to ask yourself

How has the average Northern benefitted from power being in the north since 2015

It's amazing how the South South that produces Nigeria's common wealth is being tossed around. I wish the South South and the South East can work together to end this calamity called Nigeria.
Trust me without the oil & gas in the South, there will be no Nigeria.

Well I wanted to reply but coming from someone who's name is Adamu..I laugh the name alone.

But SE no good for president, SE no good for Senate president. Then I ask what are SE good for?

Divide this country and let those that are not good for anything go period!!!

Dimwit aboki..

Let the truth be told, APC should know that majority of people of SS/SE don't give a hoot where the so-called SP comes from in this purported in-coming illegitimate government.

Let them leave SS/SE alone. They are not begging for SP.

A typical ab.oki thinking

Senate president position in a sane society should go to the SS/SE.

The result of election should determine power sharing at the center. There are eligible christians in NW and NC if the argument of religion for Senate President comes in. Deputy Senate should come from SW.

Speakership should go to SS, deputy Speaker should come from NE.

When President Buhari retired from office , North West doesn't have any representative from number 1 to number 2 position.

Denial of the Senate Presidency seat to the North West , APC and Tinubu may automatically loose the zone to the PDP and NNPP .

Some regions just think they are the ones that own Nigeria' this country is not working

Jack500:
Not true!

SS is fine, someone like Akpabio is okay.

But not SE, SE is a no no

Seriously
This'd the reason this region wants to breakout from Nigeria because the marginalization is too much and too open at the same time

Make the north use am hold tinubu for blokos, the greatest mistate tinubu will make is to zone the Senate presidency to north

Ihateheadslamer:
To avoid being surprised by the upcoming government is to avoid everything about the incoming government

Exactly.

Nigeria politics leaves no room for surprises, it's basically the same script from day one.

from "go to court" to "withdraw your case from court"... isn't APC wonderfully confused?

I strongly disagree with Adamu Garba on this. In the spirit of fairness, equity, unity and inclusiveness, the Senate President must be zoned to either South East or South South.

I8flatigos:
Senate president can go to any region except SOUTH EAST...they can't reap from where they didn't sow. This will teach them a lesson not to put all their eggs in a basket in the future elections.

And you think SE cares? The only people that are interested are certain politicians and they haven't done much for their people since 1999. Make Nigeria better and SE will sort themselves out...they have been doing that since after the war. Unfortunately, the north that has been ruling since is not better off except for the politicians.

Gone are the days when i take Nigeria matters serious

Femmyfamous4u:

You are right megida. I don't think Igbos like associating with evil, backwardness and broad day robbery, leave them alone, please.

In the eyes of the outside viewers it will be but in the eyes of the insiders everything is okay

I don't see anything special about politics in Nigeria. Particularly from PDP and APC. It's just about rigging elections.

Remove rigging all these people are empty and can't successfully sell themselves to reasonable Nigerians.

You rig elections and then grandstand and talk with so much pride.

Very few people really stood under the sun to vote for APC.This is a fact.

Even in the north. Its was all rigging, Allocation of false results, none use of BIVAS and illegal balot tumb printing.

Myopia.
He doesn't see beyond the nose that Nigeria's multi ethnic and multi religious composition necessitated the idea of rotating political offices among the component blocks of Nigeria, and without that, Nigeria will disintegrate, and his arid NW zone will go Banana Republic.

Coming from a drop out.

This shit amaze me.
