A leading candidate for the position of Senate President, Senator Osita Izunaso has cried out that it is his turn to become the President of the Senate.
Izunaso who spoke to journalists shortly after the Interdenominational service held at the Ecumenical Centre, Abuja declared that for justice, fairness and equity, the new President of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress APC should consider service and sacrifice to the party in deciding who to support for the position of senate president.
Resurrecting the now-popular slogan, the South-East-born Senator stated that he was more qualified and suitable for the position than all the other contenders in terms of competence, experience, education, knowledge, integrity, loyalty and commitment to the party. He maintained that it would be grossly unfair and unjust for the leadership of the party to deny him the senate presidency when he said he was the best among the contestants.
“We conducted 36 governorship primaries, there was not a single litigation, why, because we did the right thing. You will agree with me that, that is what it means to show capacity.
“The people dragging the position of Senate President with me today were in PDP, they were not in APC, they castigated the party then as “dead on arrival” during the formation stage, and recall, PDP did everything within their powers then to frustrate the registration of the party at the corporate affairs commission because they were in power.
