Senate Presidency: PDP Plots Against APC by chibecanglobal(m): 6:40am On Apr 22, 2015
By Johnbosco Agbakwuru
ABUJA—AS the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Senators await the
leadership of the party on the
zoning of positions, especially the
principal officers of the National
Assembly, there are indications that
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is
plotting to snatch the Senate
President from the party.
The APC has about 60 Senators
elected on its platform in the March
28 National Assembly election, while
the PDP that before now had the
majority, only has 49 senators
elected in the election.
Investigations revealed that as the
North East and North Central zones
are lobbying for the Senate
presidency, the PDP, is putting its
house in order to come out with a
candidate anticipating that the APC
might not agree on a sole candidate.
The Senate
An APC Senator, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity, yesterday,
expressed the fear that the PDP
would likely grab the Senate
presidency seat if the APC did not
put its house in order.
The Senator also said that for the
sake of justice and fair-play, the APC
leadership should zone the Senate
presidency to the North East that
produced the second highest
number of votes to the party after
the North West.
Besides, he argued that because the
North East had been devastated as a
result of the insurgency and had
been the most marginalised in terms
of infrastructure, ceding the Senate
President seat to the North East
would assuage the zone.
He also said that the North East had
never been given the opportunity of
occupying the Senate President seat
since the Second Republic, adding
that the North Central had always
been occupying the Senate
president seat.
The APC senator said that since
1999, it was the two states of North
East of Borno and Yobe that had
been steadfast in the opposition
apart from Lagos State, adding that
zoning the seat to the zone would
encourage the people for their
steadfastness.
