The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has announced that governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have resolved to zone the next Senate President to the South-south geopolitical region of the country.

The governors under the umbrella of Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) had earlier recommended that the Senate President should be zoned to either South-east or South-south regions.

They also proposed that the position of majority leader, deputy majority leader and chief whip should be used as compensation for those that may be asked to step down from running from the four presiding officers position.

But, in a video circulating on the internet by African Independent Television (AIT), Mr Ganduje affirmed that the APC governors have decided to support former governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio, who is from the South-south.

The video showed that Mr Ganduje and some of his governor colleagues including Ben Ayade of Cross River State were in a meeting with some individuals.

Mr Ganduje assured that nothing will change the plan of the zoning formula the governors had proposed for the party.

“The Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will come from the South-south and no other person than the former governor of Akwa Ibom , the uncommon governor, , the uncommon minister who will be the uncommon president of the senate,” he said.

“We have resolved that, so we are giving you assurance. We are waiting for the deal day to be the Senate President of Nigeria.”

How will Akpabio becoming the Senate President make Akwa-Ibom very lucky?

FreeStuffsNG:
You are just consoling yourself after your folks were roundly defeated after your toxic politics of lies, hate and tribal/religious bigotry failed.
You are not from Yobe. You are from SE so try visit Yobe to ask real people why it is not good when your tribe loses out completely. It is like you jinxed even highly competent and patriotic Nigerians from your side.

Go and verify It is not my job to school you on politics here sir.
