N/west Abandons Senate Presidency, Seeks Senate Leader Slot by kemitwarrior: 6:40am On Apr 17, 2015 |
With calculations and permutations on-going among caucuses in the Senate on how to position their zones for principal offices, the North West, bearing in mind that the president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, is from Katsina State in the North West, has decided to drop out of the race for Senate president and settle for the office of the Senate leader in the Eighth assembly. The North West geo-political zone voted in the highest number of All Progressives Congress (APC) senators, numbering up to 20, in the March 28 senatorial election. Many of the senators-elect are freshers to the Senate, while eight are ranking, having been elected to the chamber at least twice before. Others have previously been members of the House of Representatives where they ranked as members of the chamber. According to the rules of the Senate, only ranking members can vie for leadership positions. Those in the category of former House members include senators-elect Bala Ibn Na’Allah from Kebbi State and governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso. Returning members from Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara are Senators Kabiru Gaya (Kano), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Abu Ibrahim (Katsina), Ahmed Ru’fai Sani (Zamfara), Kabir Marafa (Zamfara) and Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto.) But the ranking rule favours Senators Sani, Marafa, Gaya and Adamu Aliero ahead of the others, as they have been in the chamber for more than two terms. |

disloman:The hate you are insinuating is nothing compared with the raging scramble for niger brewing, previously it was the zoning of major seats like president of senate ,speaker ,sgf that was done before inauguration of the house, but now it is blatant struggle for principal offices that is going on before the scheduled inauguration of the house. This is exactly like sharing the meat before it has been cooked. This APC is really desperate for the spoils of office rather than hold important discuss about policies and bills to sponsor all these people discuss is sharing of principal offices |
