South-south APC lobbies Buhari for Senate presidency
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress in the South-south have demanded the position of the Senate President.
Although the president cannot singlehandedly determine who emerges as the Senate President, he can, however, influence his party which usually zones such plum positions. The party currently has over 60 senators-elect, a clear majority. He said the leadership of the party in the zone “has done extreme hard work towards stabilising the polity to ensure that business thrives in the region, and also informing the youth that development can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace”.
“Therefore, a Senate President from the South-South zone will stabilise the polity, focus on its statutory role of making laws. Furthermore, a Senate President from the region will avoid unnecessary clashes with the executive as has been witnessed in the recent past,” part of the statement read.
