<\/p>\nThe president and founder, Oodua People\u2019s Congress, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, on Friday said the distribution of the posts of vice-president, Senate president and House of Representatives Speaker, was a dangerous power configuration for Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\nFasehun said the current political set up had completely excluded the over 40 million people of the South-West from Nigeria\u2019s power equation.<\/span><\/p>\nThe OPC leader, who expressed this fear at a news conference in Lagos, stated that the set up had, by omission or commission, politically excised the Yoruba from the Nigerian federation.<\/span><\/p>\nHe said, \u201cLast Monday, the National Assembly was inducted, with principal officers appointed and elected to pilot the affairs of the legislature.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe congratulate David Mark for his re-emergence as President of the Senate. He appropriately occupies that seat because the slot of Senate President was zoned to the North.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIn the House of Representatives, however, a malevolent plot, deliberately designed to short-change the South-West, sailed through and Aminu Tambuwal from Sokoto State emerged as the speaker. That places Nigeria\u2019s bicameral legislature firmly under the control of one part of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAs a result, the North now controls the positions of the vice-president, Senate president and Reps\u2019 Speaker, that is, number two; number three and number four positions in the country\u2019s hierarchy. This is dangerous. It will be the first time such a configuration is imposed on the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nHe said in 1999 when someone from the South-West was the President and a northerner was the vice-president, the East controlled the Senate while the North headed the House.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe arrangement guaranteed the equitable balancing of the power equation among Nigeria\u2019s geo-political entities. Now, how do you explain the Yoruba from the \u2018First 11\u2019 of the Federal Government? The Yoruba, a majority race of over 40 million people, have been excluded from the leadership of the executive, the legislature or even the Judiciary,\u201d Fasehun stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nRead the original post:
