The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will soon be meeting to decide on the zoning of offices among the six geo-political zones.

According to sources, the North Central caucus of the party wants the position of the Senate presidency.



Senate Presidency: APC Hunt For Leader

The Senate presidency position is also wanted by the North West due to them having the highest number of APC senators.

This is being considered by the party, and candidates on the shortlist are the former governor of Zamfara state, Senator Ahmed Sani, fondly known as Yerima, and Senator Kabiru Gaya.

The North Central APC caucus, in a communique by the zonal chairman the party, Zakari Ede, and the six state chairmen in the region, said that the party would be the majority in the incoming administration.

They demanded the Senate presidency because their zone did well for the party during the elections, and claimed that giving the position of Senate president to the North Central zone would be a reward for their performance.

Insisting that the success in the North Central zone, being a vulnerable zone, should not be taken for granted, they said it would only be just and equitable for the position of the Senate president to be allotted to the zone.

The communique read: “Following our party’s overwhelming victory at the National Assembly polls, it is clear that our party will form the majority in the forthcoming eight Assembly.

“We need to emphasize here that North Central is a vulnerable zone and our success and victory should not be taken for granted.

“On the basis of the above reasoning, we therefore came to the conclusion and we humbly wish to state that, it would only be just and equitable for the position of the Senate President to be allotted to the North Central Zone and we hereby demand for same.”

High ranking senators from the North-West geo-political zone have began lobbying for the position of Senate president, and some sources deep in the party believe that the position is likely to be zoned to the area.

Senator Ahmed Sani looks to be the leading candidate from the zone which produced the president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd).

There are 20 senators from the North-West, eight of them ranking, having been elected more than twice, while some have come from the House of Representatives, where they are also considered as ranking members in the chamber.
