Indications have emerged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will zone the position of Senate Presidency to the South East to assuage feelings of people from the region.

According to inside sources, with Bola Tinubu, from South West, as president from May 29 and Kashim Shetima, from North East, as Vice President, caucuses in APC are favourably disposed to having a Senate president from South East.

Confirming this, a member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC, who wants to remain anonymous, said some elders of the party believe that zoning of the number three position to South East will create a balance of power, in line with the original tripod in the county.

He revealed that majority of the party’s NWC are of the view that in the spirit of inclusiveness promised by Tinubu, it will pay the APC to zone the Senate Presidency to South East, at a time numbers of APC senators from the region has risen to six, from one in 2015.

The NWC member said those ing this arrangement have started reaching out to other zones to get their endorsement.

“Having missed out from the presidential contest in all parties at a time the clamour for a president of Igbo extraction was high, it is in the interest of the APC to zone the number three political position to South East,” he said.

The source further revealed that the North Central and the South South have also been positioned to produce the Deputy Senate President and Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, respectively, while North West will produce Speaker, House of Representatives.

He said the NWC were keen on dousing religious and tribal tension in the country, with its zoning formula.

According to him, “there is tension already and the party is determined to reduce it by doing its best to zone its offices, beginning with the Senate Presidency to the South East.

Arrangements have been concluded to meet with our President-elect, Tinubu, on this matter.

“Since 2015, the distribution of leadership positions by the APC has not been balanced and we are committed to correcting it with the 10th Assembly. So far, we are the majority with 57 senatorial seats.

“During our party’s primaries, the South East didn’t get the of the party to produce the candidate. This didn’t go down well with them. Now is another opportunity to prove to Nigerians that we are a party for all.”

Any southeasterner or person from South south especially a Christian that takes any political appointment from Tinubu is a bastard.

Any of them that accepts Tinubu's appointments will have the blood of Deborah and the murdered southern Kaduna Christians in their hands.

Stay off from his government. Let him appoint his thugs and muslim jihadists.

When he wanted to take a vice, he didn't deem you fit enough, hence dont accept his inferior political positions

South south gave apc lot of votes.
Four states in SS gave apc more than one hundred thousand votes each. That not easy achievement.

You can't eat where you're being hateful! They don't deserve it. Only Umahi deserves it.

Fools!

We don’t want.

What did David Mark achieve for North Central with his Senate Presidency?

What has Ahmed Lawan achieved for the Northeast with his Senate Presidency?

We are not interested.

Ndi ala!

Goodluck to them

You can't bribe us with rubber stamp Senate president. You must return our stolen mandate.

Good move. If PO was loyal and humble he would have rather ed APC and contest for senate so that by now he would have been given senate president instead of Nigeria president. As he came out third position with a third class degree, it's clear the number 3 position would have fit him better.

I really hope they can give it to Dave Umahi despite his lack of legislative experience. Orji Uzor Kalu is too tainted with a lot of baggage. Umahi is a fresh face at the national level and a solid performer. He also delivered 25% to APC in Ebonyi. He has my full .

May God continue to punish christians that reason like you with so much hate. You claim to be a Christian and you have so much hate in your heart.

I think Uzo Kalu will be favoured more based on his loyalty to Apc and Tinubu. Probably Oshiomole might get deputy.

I will rather a South South candidate.

Pls you can wail but don't cry cos it's too early.
Politics isn't meant for kids and emotional folks like you.
Politics is not a game of emotion but of interest.

Orji uzor kalu,
I laugh in chinese

Atiku is getting his mandate back.
Mark this space

We won't be needing, except they are going consider giving it Umahi, Orji Uzo kalu, will not give the best representation

A northerner will be deputy. NW maybe if NC get the speaker.

The president of the Senate is going to Akpabio

Is this guy okay at all? The Senate Presidency would be zoned to the south south and Akpabio would emerge. There's nothing you can do about it.

Were you expecting Tinubu who's from the southwest to make someone from the south south his running mate? What do you guys smoke on this forum?

Yes that's also possible for a good balance.

Kalu did anti party

Senate president should go to NW. (They gave the majority votes and you'll be back next four years to solicit their votes)

DEPUTY SS
SPEAKER SE
deputy NE
SGF NC

Sammy07:


Kalu did anti party

I don't think so. He has always been very loyal to Apc. He even fought against PO and SE presidency for APC.

Going against party choice and then, then APC got 5+ for president in the whole abia but he delivered 30k+ for him self for senate

Senate President has been zoned to the South South by APC and it is between Oshiomhole and Akpabio

If I'm north west do you think I'll be happy that I gave you the highest votes and I did not get even the third position..

Just dey play..

You rigged them out of presidency and now wants to compensate them with the third national position the exact way you placed Peter Obi as the third winner....from your rigger Yakubu....


I believe that this election isn't over just yet!

The 5 percenters begged for it.

WHY UNA NO JUST COME OUT STRAIGHT SAY OBI NA IPOB PROJECT??


Obi who doctors went on strike for 13 months under his watch in Anambra promised you good health system during the 2023 presidential election and you voted for him.


The same Pandora who ASUU went on strike for months under his watch promised you NO MORE ASUU STRIKE during the last election and you still voted him.


Obi at 62 (a grandpa) claims he is a youth and you voted for him.


Under Obi’s watch in Anambra for eight years, hundreds of YOUTHS were killed by AKWAZU SARS. The same Obi promised he would deliver you from bandits and terrrorists and you still voted for him during the last general election.


Obi claimed he wore a watch for 14 years and you believed me thinking he will not mismanage Nigeria.


Obi was in PDP. He is part of the old thieves we keep recycling but you still voted for him.

You called Obi a unifier and voted for him. The same Obi who wore tags on northerners (as if they are dogs) in Anambra



WHY UNA NO JUST COME OUT STRAIGHT SAY OBI NA IPOB PROJECT


I HEAR SAY THIS BABA BIRTHDAY NA YESTERDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM

Nah, senate president should go to the Niger delta not these useless 5%
