The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Wednesday, said the next Senate President should be Igbo.
In a statement signed by his spokesman, Oluwatosin Osho, the cleric said if a Muslim emerges as the next Senate President, the incoming government will be in jeopardy because there will be political tension in the country. He further advised Igbo lawmakers to come together to support one of their own to attain the position of Senate President because the zone will be sidelined for many years if they are unable to produce the next person that will occupy the position.
“Igbo lawmakers need to be united than ever before in order to push one of their own to become the next senate president because if they are unable to make it happen, the region will be sidelined in this incoming government.
