South East Senators Advise Tinubu Against Zoning Senate Presidency To South-South

 

 

The South East Senate caucus has advised the President elect Mister Bola Tinubu to be conscious of the grave implications of zoning and endorsing a candidate for the position of Senate President from the South-South without any regard for the Southeast as such move will no doubt serve as a recipe for Injustice which will culminate to restiveness.

The advise was contained in a communique by the caucus after a meeting in Abuja.

Reading the communique to journalists after the meeting, Senator Ifeanyi Uba says the lawmakers are imploring the President-elect to be sensitive to the times in Nigeria and ensure the country continues to thrive on the part of equity, unity and fairness.

He said the country is already divided amongst ethnic and religious lines because of the exclusion of the Southeast region, adding that he wants the incoming administration of Mr Tinubu to correct this anomaly by ensuring that the Southeast is given the opportunity to produce the next Senate President.
