North-central senators-elect said their demand is to ensure that the dividends of democracy are extended to the people of the zone
Senators-elect from the North-central geopolitical region have named the senator representing Niger East, Sani Musa, as their choice for the position of Deputy Senate President in the 10th assembly.
Mr Wadada’s submission came a few hours after he and his colleagues from Nasarawa North, Godiya Akwashiki, endorsed the candidature of Godswill Akpabio as the senate president. “The North-central will not, and cannot be left out with a representative like us. We will always strive to get what belongs to us or what we deserve. We already had a press briefing where we clearly stated our position. After the press briefing, when the zoning arrangements had been announced, we also took a stand and our governors supported us,” he said.
