Senator Ifeanyi Ubah on Monday maintained that the South-East region deserves the Senate Presidency seat despite the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) zoning the position to the South-South.

The lawmaker representing Anambra South argued that if the South-East produces the next leader of the upper lawmaking body, it would help in strengthening the unity of the country.

“For me and our people from the South-East, we are still very strong in contesting for the office of the Senate President of Nigeria for the 10th Senate. That is our position for now,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“So, in the course of consultation, we would continue to update Nigerians about our position. But for now, I am still in this studio, the position of the South-East caucus [of the Senate] is that we are going to contest for the Senate President of Nigeria.”

‘Balance the Equation’

His comment comes hours after the APC zoned the key leadership of the Senate, sidelining the South-East region which has been clamouring for the Senate Presidency to be zoned to the region.

Despite the move, Senator Ubah maintained that South-East senators have unanimously agreed that the position should come to the region.

“That is our position for now,” he said, listing Orji Kalu and Osita Izunaso as capable of taking the post.

He said lawmakers from the region will, however, meet to finalise plans to pick a candidate.

While the South-East gave the ruling APC the least votes in the 2023 presidential election, Senator Ubah argued that for the sake of fairness, there should be a “balance of the equation” in the distribution of key positions in Nigeria.

“I think after the presidential election, I think equity demands that we would sit down and look at every region because we are talking about Nigeria,” the lawmaker added.

“Nigeria is not divided on who brings the vote and who does not bring the vote. Are we not part of Nigeria?”

“We need it in order to balance the equation,” he noted.

Soludo warned you you of Nzogbu Nzogbu dance, you never listened

We don’t care, go and test your popularity. We don’t care who becomes what, stop using ethnic sentiments for your selfish interest.

Which position?
Gentleman, You have no leverage upon which to make demands.

Ogaaa am not part of, they called it one Nigeria but some people are taking it as self Nigeria which is bad

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah should goan meet Ucultic Obi

Stop wasting your time!


SE or Kalu deserves just Senate Leader! You can never eat your cake and still have it!

Elluuuuu pee

See this clueless set of people again? When Nigerians were busy sharing the common interest of uniting the country cleverly, you guys were there shouting Ellluupee
You refused to merge with common interest of the nation for your selfish reasons, and now you're crying fowl over a position which you don't literally deserve. Politics is simply a game of number.
1. If you can't beat them, join them or
2. If you can't join them just forget about the fruitful things to come out of it
I like Igbos, but they need to wake-up to shine eyes and learn from previous experiences

Lol. The bridge OUK has been building since 1999 is not due for commissioning in your famous 'one Nigeria'? At least, no one can argue he's detribalized. What disqualifies him but qualifies Akpabio? Both are criminals, both are ambitious, but OUK is a better party man. Igbophobia is real, and the sooner they realize it and stop trying to pander to the blackmail of 'building bridges', the better for them. In 4 yrs time, Umahi will also be discredited one way or another. You're all hypocrites.

We all saw how Ogbannaya Onu was rewarded for the bridge he started building since 1999.

Man was loyal to Buhari from ANPP days to CPN to APC.
He became a victim of Igbophobia, was left crying like a baby in APC primaries with Buhari and co laughing at him.

Igbo politicians are mentally challenged. I look at them and I laugh.
Where is Rochas Okorocha, was he not once the darling of the Igbophobic Nigerians for his "bridge building"( which to these Igbophobe actually means being self hating and insulting fellow Igbos)?

Umahi always had a facial of someone mentally challenged, I'm not surprised he is currently following same "Bridge building" path.

Common sense should tell you that a people who hate your people can never love you.

What is special about senate president?

Does having it transforms communities, states or whatever

Today North has both the president and the senate president yet some guys in president’s state ate grass

Where your voice dey during the presidential election?

You are not

Actually Nigeria is not ready for progress.

That is the logic some of these mentally challenged Igbo senator's and reps do not understand.

You cannot because of OUK's narrow ambitions, start undermining Igbo long-term goals. At least Akpabio is an in-law, let Igbos support him, after all, he seems to have the support of his party, and there is a mild political understanding between the SE and the SS, and OUK'S ambition is not a worth destroying the current political alliance.
This political alliance helped give PO a fighting chance in the current political fight, and OUK is too much of a useless entity to the current struggle to deserve jettisoning our current self-interest driven political alliance with the SS.

OUK cannot be building bridges with the north and be destroying bridges in the south because of his myopic political ambitions.
The bridge that PO is building is way more significant and beneficial to every Nigerian, than OUK's selfish SP ambitions.

H

If obi collect mandate,make una become anything wey una like.

Hahahahaha, is it possible for someone to work all his life as Zenith branch manager but after retirement he was expecting GTB to pay his pension?

Exactly the situation here. You pour water on the ground so that you can match wet ground but instead and lava you guys poured on ground, match una lava like that

He as a member of the 10th senate, should advise Iwuanyanwu to embrace the same weight loss regime he employed.

That is the only sane demand all Igbos should make from the 10th Senate.

Lanretoye:
If obi collect mandate,make una become anything wey una like.

We have actually found their missing mandate. It's located at 15 nautical miles to Atlantic ocean

The unfortunate part of it is the mandate has been swallowed by blue whales.

Location known, the target recognized, we are looking for volunteers for the retrieval...

Lol who send you people come....

How's that our business....


Every region spread derr Votes nd not face one place you same people that tagged others Tribalist pack ur vote for one place nd now expecting something from the same person you never believed in....


Same people that always come online and tell us they don't support cluelessness dey rally round someone that couldn't do anything in his state no wonder them dey package fraud for others to follow....


If the country don tire una u know the right thing to do start submitting succession form at the NASS it can be considered leave all this online tears and do the right thing for once and let people vote...

You people know how to cry till today you guys can't tell us who the SE Delegates from APC and PDP voted for your delegates can't even vote you buh expecting others to du it and reward you with dere vote You can't hold your delegates responsible for failing to play dere own part buh blame others...


You will never complain about how PDP treated you guys like shiit buh APC wey Neva du half of wetin PDP du to u people are your headache....

Imagine you tell us you don't support clueless leaders buh you guy's no mind Kalu that couldn't even say this what I did in Abia at least Akpabio we can point to one or two things in Akwa Ibom.....

You think when people see your loyalty they won't pay at least APC saw Akpabio that just joined own and is audible to the blind than someone that's been dere at least dey dashed Kalu judgement of not rotting in jail na one reward of building bridge be that also manage that ...

kiki....igbos dont want to help bake the cake but want to have their share of the cake too....

shey you south southerners dey see their true faces now....??

You said you are biafrans.

There can't be any balance of equations in a country where some regions don't fit in, discrimination is the main call of each day.
This country is doomed.

The south east don't need that post because nzogbutically obi is the president and you can't have Senate elect another SE for number 3 when it's not a position you can reshuffle again

The LP senator (umeh) that is supporting Igbo for Senate president is he saying he doesn't believe his friend obi stand a chance in collecting mandate

This man has really slim down ø.
I now prefer this new look.

Where are the bridge builders

If Senator Akpabio can not have it let Ahmad Lawan or another Fulani continue
Nothing for you

if you are been sincere akpabio stepped down for tinubu in primaries while kalu pushed lawan against tinubu till the end

Akpabio delivered more votes for tinubu compared to kalu who has great influence over his district

Kalu has been at apc but he doesn't really follow his party popular decision until it's too late

Umahi would go farther than him, they even compensated kalu with deputy speaker for his boy

Nobody can force the president to pick a candidate he's not disposed to whether u're part of Nigeria or not. First u must learn to integrate urself away from politics of hate at every part of Nigeria only then we would realize u're a part of Nigeria but as it stand today, u're what u created for urself.

U're can't use blackmail to pick who d president want to work with him. After all, there still other positions not yet shared.

You people think u're always smart to think u're d only wise people in Nigeria. Why didn't u say that yo Buhari during his 8yrs period cos its d same now. U hated an Hausa man still hating on a southern president except urself and u're talking about being part of Nigeria, does hating people d same people inclusive in ur nigerianist?

Una never see anything, u people will understand politics by force! U can't eat from where u didn't labor using propagandaike this.

U think Tinubu is stupid? Can u handover ur house keys to a known thief?
