North West?

Let's see how this fare but I personally prefer South South, Godswill Akpabio.

The senate President is suitable for south east

Next SP must come from South

Meet Pandora criminal, he'll give you Senate President.

In this tenure of Amuda Lamidi Sangodele, nothing for you.

Akpabio should get it while Wamakko from Sokoto should deputize him.

Did you read that part that reported he mobilized 70 senators? Do you think such a person will give you the Senate Presidency with just 6 APC senators from SE?

Northwest delivered the highest votes to help APC clinch victory while NC has the best spread of APC victory across the map.

What will 6 Senators who were suspected to be complicit in the pervasive massive widespread rigging against Asiwaju in Igboland with doctored Agulu results do?

It is democracy o. You have won with landslide of the highest number and speed of generating hate, bigotry, insults and curses online so you can go collect your trophy and Senate Presidency for SE from the dark web online. As you can see from your PTSD after beating by Asiwaju Tinubu, you really repped SE well well (pun intended).

Senate president should come to SW

Because with a sick old man there in the name of ceremonial president, we dont really have anyone

Power is still in the north

Tinubu is just wasting southern turn

North is the genius here

kk2027:

Okay sir. E pele sir

We can’t have a Muslim Muslim president and vice president and still have a Muslim senate president.

Some of these politicians must learn to be considerate and accommodating. This is the time to make all necessary concession in the overall interest of peace, unity, stability and national cohesion. We should all the SE for senate president. That’s the best way to start the healing process.

I really don't get it.....


When Buhari took over, his vice was a southerner and the senate president came from the North....


Now we're have a southern president and a northern vice, the number three position will go South!

This time around, the SouthSouth will take the seat!

These abokis should stop craving for seats that isn't theirs!

Muslim president ,vice and senate President ...hope the Christians that voted APC are happy

I a Moslem from NW for the Senate President. Then, another Moslem from NE or NC for the House Speaker

Godswill Akpabio is the man for the Senate President Job. Agulu Nelson Mandela and his fellow ipob terrorists ( Not all Igbo) will not smell any power.

SE will NW for Senate President, preferably a Moslem

Tinubu presidency if allowed will be a stooge of the North. The better South will allow them to clip him to size

No one should be talking about anything except Buhari and Emefiele do something about the cash crunch affecting 200m Nigerians...

What's all these? People are dying, they cant access their money to buy common food for market...

Ok

Awon werey

South east contributed close to nothing in TINUBU's victory....it's only fair that one shouldn't reap where he/she didn't sow
.
.
Only two strong senators from South east are
Orji uzo kalu, an ex-Convict....hence not suited.
Abaribe is IPOB Apologist... Plus in a party without majority (APGA) Hence not suited.
The rest...na wash

I don't understand why these people are this selfish. We already have South West President-elect and North East Vice President-elect, shouldn't the Senate President slot go to either South South or South East?

Since President is from the South, the Senate President must be from the South also.

Vice President and Speaker would be from the North.

This one is just wasting his time.

We need Good leaders in every strata of leadership pls

Oga stop wasting your time cos the mother of all protest is coming

na lie o!! All of them must be muslims. From president to deputy speaker of HOA. Infact all the legislators who are christians should convert to Islam.

I love it that way 😐😐😐

And why is it a most now?

Oshiomole for the SP.

There is a way the Team will be assembled not just anyhow.
