The All Progressives Congress (APC)
National Leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu, says merit will
not be compromised while choosing the Senate
President.

Tinubu said this in Abuja on Thursday after holding
a closed-door meeting with the President-elect,
retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

He said he would not go against anything the party
decided but assured that merit would not be
compromised while making the decision.

He said: “Well, you have heard from the party; you
have heard from leadership. My desire is not to
rock the party. I am a disciplined party man and
we will look at it critically.

“However, the nation is expecting us to take a
decisive leadership decision. Merit would not be
compromised. You have to be competent; you
have to possess the character for the leadership.
“You have to be PAN Nigerian and be a very solid
character to lead the National Assembly and that is
what we are talking about,’’ he said.

Tinubu said the party had decided, in a meeting,
that zoning would not be considered in choosing
the leader because it could “compromise the
credibility, qualification of an individual.

“Let everybody aspire just like we aspired’’.
He said predictions were rife during the APC
presidential primaries that the party would run into
“chaotic storm.

“We put those people to shame and came up with
the best. Expect the best from us always,” he said.
