Saraki, Akume Jostle For Senate President Seat by Mickop(m): 7:33pm On Apr 02, 2015 |
Abuja - With the All Progressives Congress (APC) winning majority of the seats in the Senate in the next dispensation, behind the scene moves for leadership positions in the upper chamber has begun, reports Daily Trust. Senators Bukola Saraki from Kwara, George Akume from Benue and Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa are in contention for the Senate President seat. The APC had tentatively zoned the position of the Senate President to the North Central after its national convention in December following the emergence Muhammadu Buhari, who is from the North West, as the party’s presidential candidate and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, from the South West. Incidentally all the three Senators jostling for the seat are former governors of their respective states. The North East APC Senators are also making a case for the position of Senate President to be zoned to their region. The party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) is expected to take on a power sharing arrangement next week |

The sweet thing about being in the opposition is that , except if they are able to arrive at a consensus , the position will be determined by the pdp delegates if put to vote 1 Like |

George Akume would win the seat. He has been the leader of the APC senators in the upper chamber since 2011. Naturally he would get their support while saraki would be chosen as the deputy. 1 Like |

They should zone it to SS (Edo). APC won some senatorial seats there. Igbos would have automatically occupied that seat but for the reason(s) best known to them, they voted out their senator in APC. |

So the position can't go to SE/SS. Change has really come by marginalising some region. 1 Like |

OrigamiIII: If one of them becomes the president, there is no way the other will be deputy. One can go for Senate President while the other will go for Majority Leader. 1 Like |
