APC To Elect Next Senate President At Party Primaries Today by Johnnyessence(m): 7:15am On May 22, 2015 |
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/ |

aare07: 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. |
