[TOP STORY] Yari to Buhari: Reward performance, not religion… north deserves senate presidency | TheCable
April 30, 2023 11:36 PMAbdul’Aziz Yari, former governor of Zamfara state, says the incoming senate president deserves to come from the northern part of Nigeria.
The senator-elect asked the APC to reward performance and not buy into the sentiments of religion or ethnicity when zoning key offices in the 10th national assembly. “Therefore, we’re saying the party should do the right thing. And those that are going around saying ‘Muslim-Christian’ should be very careful. Our education in politics is more than that now.”
“The 10th assembly is entirely distinct from the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth assemblies. Any party with a majority often holds that position with two thirds of the vote. But our situation is very different,” Yari said.
