There are
reports that the All
Progressives Congress
(APC) is going ahead
with an open primary to
select a sole candidate to
succeed David Mark as
Senate President next
month, Daily Sun
reports.
Reports say 59 senators
and senators-elect of the
party will make the
decision at a one-day
retreat which starts
today.
It is yet unclear whether
the primary would hold
in Abuja or Lagos but it
was further gathered
that, all the 59 senators
and senators-elect are
“expected to sign an
undertaking to abide by
the party position on
whoever emerges as the
party’s candidate after
the primary.
“Thereafter, the runner-
up is expected to emerge
as the deputy Senate
President. In the event
where the runner-up is
from the same zone as
the winner of the
primary, another
primary election would
be conducted and
whoever emerges would
be the deputy.”
Presently, major
contenders are: Senators
Ahmad Lawan (Yobe,
North east), Bukola
Saraki (Kwara, North
central), George Akume
(Benue, North central)
and Ali Mohammed
Ndume (Borno, North
east).
Some senators are
reportedly not happy
with the arrangement.
They would rather
senators are allowed to
“choose our leader in the
chamber,” said a senator
from the North west but
who declined to be
named. www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/apc-to-elect-next-senate-president-at-party-primaries-today-daily-sun.112080/

I support Bukola Saraki for Senate President

If they go ahead with this method then I think Saraki would probably secure the support of the majority of his peers to emerge Senate President. As for the Primaries idea, it is a good and democratic one that should see the APC emerge united and focused whoever wins since every senator would have been carried along and given the chance to independently choose their own leader without the imposition of an 'anointed' choice of one godfather or the other.

Let the best candidate win so NIGERIANS will know how far.

Let them stop their mind game plus talkating syndrome we need actiion.
