TOP STORY: Umahi visits Buhari, says south-east deserves senate presidency | TheCable
David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi, says the south-east geo-political zone deserves the office of senate president.
Umahi said the south-east made considerable contributions to Bola Tinubu’s victory as the president-elect, adding that allowing the region to produce the next senate president would inspire buy-in from the opposition in the national assembly. “So, for inclusiveness, unity of the country and for everybody to be carried along, the south-east deserves the position and so far, nobody has been able to say this is the reason why the south-east should not be given that position and I am pleading for that.
Umahi pointed out that he had garnered enough experience in the public sector as a two-term governor and from the private sector as a businessman, to lead the 10th senate.
