Don't Deny Southeast Senate Presidency - Pressure Group Urges APC Leadership

Ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly in June this year, a group known as Coalition of Ethnic Nationalities for Better Nigeria (CENBN) has advised the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress not to over flog the Southeast geopolitical zone on the account of the party's poor performance in region.

In a statement released to newsmen after it's executive meeting in Jos on Wednesday, the group said the President-elect should show political maturity by embracing all parts of the country irrespective of their political inclinations in the last elections.

Adding that it would amount to clear injustice and persecution of the zone if the Senate Presidency is denied the region.

It was understandable that the region did not meet the standing rules of the Senate to produce Senate President in 2015 and 2019 because there was no high ranking Senator of APC extraction from the zone but the reality has changed this time around because the region not only produced APC senators but also a high ranking Senator like Senator Orji Kalu with requisite experience and exposure to lead the 10th Senate later in the year.

Noting that the last time a Southwest man was elected president of Nigeria, a Northeast man was his deputy while Southeast men where elected Senate Presidents.

Accordingly, history has repeated itself with the emergence of Southwest and Northeast persons as President and Vice President-elect.

Therefore, it is apt that the leadership of APC should not deny the Southeast region the opportunity on account of political differences for the sake of national integration and solidarity among ethnic nationalities.

The party should remember the roles played by men and women of the region in Nigeria's independence struggles as well as the fight against third-term agenda of some persons in past.

Therefore, we appeal to the conscience of the leaders of APC to elevate national integration above partisan affiliation for the overall interest of our dear nation.

Wonder shall never end. Igbo Christian, dot in the circle, 5% population in Nigeria, are looking for Senate president from Apc party.

What happen to the "stolen mandate" that peter obituary is fighting for.
You campaigned, voted for Peter's obituary as your lord and savior from the potopoto region, so you should be expecting a senate president from the party you voted for.

Them go deny them,one thing I've understood about igbo people is that u don't treat them nicely,treat their fukup every time they mess up

God is not a politician

Has any southwest in nairaland benefited from osibanjo being vice president?. Has any northerners here in nairaland benefited from buhari being president?.

The common man on the street doesn't benefit from political post holder coming from their region.its just a mental satisfaction and nothing more .

I bet you don't have TV in your house or cash to buy newspaper if not, You would have seen this news that APC are doing everything possible to beg the Igbos with senate President seat in the 10th assembly

Nothing for SE, the Senate president is going to Akpabio

Shameless tribe, who will beg igbos? Igbos with sentiment and wickedness.

Racoon:

Leave story, southeast leaders are begging for senate president. Shikena!

No we give it to sw the presidency of coming to se by Gods grace.

Even if it is zoned to SE one man will not emerge and even if a candidate emerged he will not last there as i foresee frequent change of leadership in the Senate. This is what happened between 1999-2007 . Evans Ewerem, Chuba Okadigbo, Adolphos Wabara and Ayim Pious Ayim! But when other zones had the position, David Mark remained their from 2007 to 2015 without leadership change.
Ibos put your house in order before aspiring for leadership of NASS.

May South South Apkpabio have it😎
Una don't have monopoly of madness 🙄

Nonsense, the South East does not deserve anything in this administration.

These people just like to reap from where they did not sow.
APC's 1% votes should be compensated with Senate Presidency.

South-Yeast can have Biafra Presidency.
