Baring last minute changes ahead of the 10th Senate leadership and Inauguration, 62 out of 109 elected senators endorsed Senator Barau Jibrin from Kano State for the position of Senate President.

This was disclosed by an anonymous Senator from the Northwest and also a close friend of Jibrin after an emergency meeting in the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja.

He explained that 62 Senators Elect have so far endorsed Senator Jibrin and 46 of them were physically present at the all night meeting held at the Transcorp Hotel.

The meeting was centred on strategizing to mobilise other Senators Elect to join hands in delivering Senator Jibrin as the 10th senate President.

The Lawmakers-elect, were against the nomination of Akpabio as Senate president.

We Know that the Tinubu’s preference for Akpabio was only to carry the Christians in Nigeria along, and not necessarily because of his competence or contribution to the success of the party. Unfortunately Akpabio would not be able to pilot the affairs of the parliament, lawmaker said.

We shall resist any attempt to anoint him or any aspirant on us, we are not children therefore capable of sorting ourselves to ensure that the Senate presidency go to a competent and qualify Senator preferably from the Northwest and not the South, given the contributions of the zone to the victory of Tinubu during the February presidential Election.

The North has contributed over 63 per cent of the votes that drove Tinubu to victory, Said senator elect.

We chose Jibrin because of his competent and unblemished records, he is also the highest-ranking, longest-serving legislator in the Senate, and the most qualify to be the 10th Senate President.

if I am there I will vote against any Christian that want to be senate president. They are the same people that said religion doesn't matter, Muslim Muslim ticket doesn't matter.
Now the are trying to tell us that the Christians should be given a chance. My question is: When did religion start determining who be senate president?
All the officials must be Muslims. Last last we shall get sense.

Since Muslim Muslim ticket is not a crime, Muslim Senate president and Muslim speaker is not also a crime.
Some idiots will still tell us that the country is not islamised.

But you and your likes were shouting it on the roof tops the importance of competence and capacity over religion and zone

Why is zoning and religion coming to the front burner at the moment as regards the office of the senate President and that of the speaker

kestolove95:

The consensus is Akpabio for SP while Barau for DSP.

Moreover , why should you be concerned, are you now in Apc?
