The group argued that since the President was from the Northern region and his Vice hailed from the Southwest, it was fair if the party zoned the Senate leadership to the Southeast since the region gave its best support ever to the President in last week’s election.
In a statement issued yesterday, the IPF also called on Igbo sons and daughters to support the President Buhari-led government, stressing that the future of Nigeria is bright under the current administration. The statement reads: “with the results of the February 23, 2019 presidential and national assembly elections, it is glaring that President Buhari is popular and well accepted by the people regardless of party affiliation.
”The votes polled by the President in the 2019 election in the South East is more than what he scored in 2015.”We appeal to the top echelon of the APC to consider the South East for the position of Senate President. “The President is from the North and the Vice President is from the West. In the spirit of patriotism, Ndigbo should be considered for Senate President.The forum while admonishing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to accept defeat in good faith, stressed that politics is not a do-or-die affair.Anyim equally urged Ndigbo to take active part in national politics, noting that the people of the South East have contributed immensely to the economic development of Nigeria.
Tweetwizzard This plea is as good as dead... Then what happens to the promise made to the West?
Y er Igbo Begin now...wen de hv d opportunity to vote for dia own ...Peter obi...some of dem were busy campaigning...PMB .......here comes d next level
We will not give them evee minority leader.

No, it should go to Northeast for thier Loyalty to the Party
😂😂 U can’t eat your cake and have it back
Which igbo group please
You don’t need to beg , plz ask urself this candid question , which support did he get from igbos , we all saw the result all the east was won by atiku so east can’t have it , we have the candidate for that already , you can ask atiku you gave ur vote to
Shadow Senate President you mean
Why should you beg ?
This is just making me laugh, so y'all want the SP seat and you've been denigrating the xter of the other two regions all this while plus you voted out Akpabio that can be deem fit to get it with its maverick act.
Not possible..
Pls...that is irrelevant... Let it be zoned to daura for all I care!
I have issues with our press. Why didn't that just say group begs APC. The Igbo in the headline creates room for nonsense. AsoRock this is hate speech
After voting for Atiku? Come to think of it please
Who will be the Senate President?
Wonderful
... APC will not zone the Senate president to Igbo cos the party is been runned by youruba n hausa
who is beginning, nonsense
Seek your presidency in PDP come 2023, that's the party majority of you gave your support...shikena, opari!
Why should they when they lost all the south east to PDP I warned but una refuse oya let's wait again till 2023 KenechiMbanugo Sweetphenol
Integrates
Please do not beg them. They should hold theor power.
These guys are funny, they always want to eat where they did not work. Sorry, SP is for north east and Speaker is for North Central
U people are funny. So u need SP and u did not vote for bubu. Na WA oooo. Monkey dey work bamboo wan chop.
These so-called IgboBeggers! Please stop disgracing us! Why should beg to become senate president?
Honestly, SE should be given opportunity to contest as President in 2023, but looking at the last Presidential Results in February 23rd, SE did Not vote for APC; they voted massively for PDP. So, the request should be directed to PDP and not APC. You Reap Where You Sow.
This igbo people are funny...
Who would zone it for them when they couldn't zone themselves.
I think there is no harm. Okorochas is there but this should be an eye opener for Igbo guys. Buhari's administration has done more capital projects in the east than any region of this country.
How many APC senators are from the south east?
When apc was beginning the igbo's they where busy calling buhari robot a death man why are they begin a death man now
Is not late. Not all of you are narrow minded.
Never going to give them cause they all voted for Atiku...
How can. When they rejected apc?
Nonsense!
Why they give there votes to PDP
We don’t need the senate president.Okadigbo,Enwerem,Anyim,ken impact on the Zone.make una give North
Typographic error.. We meant to South-South where there are APC senators, thanks for your understanding.
Senate president? After playing politics of hatred and bitterness. Shior
It's a shameful thing for the wisest people in Africa to be begging for a piece of bread The problem with Ndigbo has been disunity from time immemorial Until, there's oneness & a clear focus, they can't achieve a National goal but individual greatness
That is it, you will be in opposition during elections but will want to reap where you do not sow. You were against PMB and APC from coming to power but now you want the Senate president to be zoned to the East. Wait till PDP that you supported comes to power.
For what pls
KANU is fit in
Nothing concerns Igbos to Buhari govt pls
Idiots go and fight for it power is not tea party
My Igbo brothers, when will u be wise? Wit all PMB did for us, I expected a block vote for him, u went left. Now you're looking for zoning!
Senator Ahmad Lawan is our next Senate President In Shaa Allahu.
What a shame a majority tribe in the fraudulent one Nigeria is begging Buhari lead government for senate president after they said we are one Nigeria my foot . We must be liberated Biafra is the only way out for peace and progress in African continent take it or leave it.
Let all the positions go to the North. We don't need it. No matter the political intimidation and hatred, we will always be the richest and most successful region in the country.
Going back to Saraki days?!
You refused to wise! With what PMB did for us, I expected a block vote from you, yet, you voted failure...now you're looking for zoning!
Keep begging ok!
I didn’t hear about any group begging for support for the APC in the South East?
If and only if there is a senator from APC ba?
Okorohausa behind this. Good move by Oshimhole!
You people are mad Wake up now clowns 🤡
No way
OK, we shall see.
Did you vote APC senators, those one you voted lack integrity
If not because of some Igbo Buharists I'll have so much insulted these ones.
Power is not served ala carte
The APC they did not vote for! These people are funny
For Ekweremadu
Leave the work of SPNigeria Presidency for NWC of APCNigeria to decide which is possibly zone it to solicitor geopolitical zone on certain conditions
This is an insult to our collective face.we struggle to get presidency and some very minor in the land who knows nothing but to hate. asking for senate president.senate president my foot.
We don't need it.
To who? PDP OR first timer:Okorocha,Uzor Kalu? Igbos have missed it again.Regional politics and hatred for Buhari caused it.
Senate President will zones to Northeast and I nominate Senator Ahmed Lawan of Yobe State
It ain't gonna happen
There is nothing like zoning in nigeria constitution ,take note
No b only south east na north east u eat ur cake and still want to have it abi bloody loosers
Only a PURE breed APC man will be allowed to lead the senate and the house of rep too.
Wait until atiku of the OfficialPDPNig win your request will be guaranteed.
No fucking way! They can ask PDP for them when “ever” they are allowed to ruin Nigeria again
