I would prefer George Akume to Saraki

Akume joined the APC train around 2011 while Saraki joined just last year
APC also need to solidify their hold on Benue and Akume would be key

We need to squeeeze David Mark and any remnant of PDP out of the polity

You have a point bros.

gabbrri:
sambo and tambuwal are all from north west

That was a misnomer, PDP zoned the seat to SW but members voted againat Mulitak Adeola ( party candidate).

christopheojo:



Mind u edo south senatorial election is still pending so samson osagie the minority leader house rep(APC) might have it

I sincerely hope he wins!

ferhyntorlah:
I'm sorry to say this to you but PDP won all the senatorial and house of rep seats in SE & SS.

I think APC has a senator from Edo state.

Hmmmm......the igbos......,well the naira has said it all
N-Never
A-Allow
I-igbos
R-Rule
A-Again

Election tribunal will produce from the ss or se

Waspy:





Igbos will never be savvy in politics. Guess one can't eat his cake and have it. They already ate the business cake. They shld learn not to be dogmatic in reasons/philosophy. Igbos are more emotive than cognitive

It's idiotic& stewpid of you to toll this line of reasoning. It shows how low you are. What is your concern if we, Ndi Igbo decided to go for PDP? Why take panadol for someone else's headache? What's your guarantee that you will be favoured by APC government? For your information, we do not care for any of such posts? We have been in such position before after the Biafran civil war and we did not die; we have grown from strength to strength as a tribe, despite the occasionally perceived differences. Also, we, as a tribe, do not need the government to develop ourselves. Your APC government will need us to develop itself. Once again, weep not for us but for yourself and your tribe. CAVEAT EMPTOR: He who thinks that he standing on a solid ground should be careful lest he falls.

AbuMikey:
There's a senator from Edo North, Alimekhena, He stands a very good chance too..

I hope he is not a 'new comer'.

Chinom:


Oh really. In that case, he is the next senate president. Experienced or not. Miss Ette, the hairdresser had zero experience when she was made speaker of the house. She got it just for being a Yoruba from the SW. Those positions are zoned for fairness and equity.

That man is a lucky man.

you must be a joker like me.

I'm listening to Big Sean's "don't f with you" . I'll get in touch as soon as there's time for you.

Sadly, He is.

osayuking:
senate leader is yet to be elected...it will be from the south south because th north and west has 01/02 th east are minority ℓ believe samson osagie from Edo who has been there for 16yrs being th minority leader with so much experience is fit for th post and he's yet to be elected hopefully he's gonna be th elected

Samson Osagie was a great opposition lawmaker, he will make good speaker.

emiye:
It was a miscalculation for the east to have voted out Ngige, i mean they ought to have gambled with him at the very least, .

The House of representatives should produce at least one APC member from the east, Imo i presume. whosoever becomes the speaker.

are you people saying the Senate President can only be chose from APC?

AbuMikey:



Sadly, He is.

He stand no chance.

Right. And it would pave the way for Remi Tinubu to become the deputy senate president.

Actually wanted Ngige so as to involve the great Ndi-gbo in d govt but he lost his senatorial bid

amahundu:
The Senate President will go to the South South. It would have gone to South East but day did not produce any APC Senator.

must it be from APC ? This anti -party system is part of corruption o

The Next Senate President Should Be From The South South, Edo State In Particular And In The Person Of Francis Alimekhena. Senator Elect Representing Edo North.

AbuMikey:
There's a senator from Edo North, Alimekhena, He stands a very good chance too..

Is he a fresh senator?

Ayomivic:

offcourse, only the ruling party with majority numbers in the nat. assembly becomes the senate president
o

LasgidyPort:


Is he a fresh senator?

Yes Sir!

For an election that was adjudged by bookmakers can go eitherway, a brief moment of thought should have made ibos at the very worst retain the only APC ibo senator.

MY PEOPLE STUPID FOR POLITICS EH!

I FORESAW THIS SINCE WHEN APC WAS FORMED - I WONDERED WHY OHANAEZE DID NOT ENCOURAGE SOME YOUNG IGBOS TO JOIN APC. THEN I CONSOLED MYSELF WITH THE HOPE THAT NGIGE IS SMART ENOUGH TO JOIN APC ONLY FOR THE STUPID POLITICALLY MYOPIC NDI IGBO TO VOTE OUT THE ONLY APC CANDIDATE IN THE SOUTH EAST!

NOW WE ARE ALL ROUND LOSERS!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SLEEPLESS NIGHT SINCE YESTERDAY JUST TRYING HARD TO OVERLOOK THIS SAD LOSE - BUT THE TRUTH IS, I JUST CANT STOMACH IT! LOOK AT WHAT AN IJAW MAN HAS COST US! WELL I CANT EVEN BLAME THE IJAW MAN I BLAME THE POLITICAL NAIVETY OF MY PEOPLE!

WHEN I REMEMBER THE INSULTS THEY WHERE POURING ON ME WHEN I WAS POINTING OUT TO THEM THAT WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AND GREATER OPPORTUNITIES WITH APC, THAT THE IGBOS SHOULDN'T PUT ALL THEIR EGGS IN ONE BASKET, SOME WHERE EVEN CALLING ME NAMES AND TELLING ME TO GO AND ASK MY MOTHER TO TELL ME WHO TRULY IS MY FATHER CAUSE MY NOT SUPPORTING GOODLUCK IS AN OBVIOUS SIGN THAT MY "IGBONESS" IS IN DOUBT! NOW SEE WHERE WE ENDED UP - WE HAVE BECOME THE ASS-HOLES OF NIGERIAN POLITICS!

THE SAD PART IS MANY OF THEM STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THIS LOSE TO THE IGBO NATION!

NDI IGBO BU OTULE NI FE GBASARA POLITICS!

CHAI! SOMEBODY SHOULD PLS BORROW ME HANDKERCHIEFOOOO!!! EWEEEE!!! NNAAAAAMMMEEEEE!!!! ANWUALAMEEE!!!!!

BASTARD HANG YOUR SELF HATING SELF. BACK TO YOU HANG YOUR SELF . SLAVE

yea ℓ guess he was and ℓ believe he should be th one to fit in for th SP because regional Zoning warrant and fortunately he's a majority BUT th problem now is can he be able to defeat he's PDP opposition here in Benin? He already on th verge of failure before its constituency election was cancelled..well, hopefully he can emerge as a winner now that oshiomole is back to city for G̶̲̥̅̊o̶̲̥̅̊o̶̲̥̅̊d̶̲̥̅̊

yess it has from edo North and he has no experience because this is his first time.....hopefully samson osagie is th man for SP if he wins but his victory has a very rare possibility

christopheojo:

If the Binis have any sense, this is the I opportunity to corner the Senate Presidency. The PDP should concede the senate seat to Samson Osagie. Urhoghide will be in the minority party and inconsequential if he was declared the winner of the senatorial district.
Edo! Wa kugbe ne Samson n'ovbie Osagie!

Can you explain further please? Are they rescheduling the election or what?

The nx senate president can only come from south east or south south. But since APC didn't win any senatorial seat in the south east, then d best bet is dat d senate president will come from the south south....probably a senator from Edo state

Ayomivic:

sadly yes

see permutations nah

Magnus Abe would have been a good option but he ain't going back

joker5180:

yess th election was cancelled due to some irregularities in delay of material, insecurity and card reader failure....so inec is yet to fix date for th election but hopefully soonest it will be rescheduled
