APC is unarguably the party of the majority. It is expected that the majority lead the Senate. However, there is need for a party to respect its people's ambitions too.

It has become common practice in APC that SELECTION trumps above ELECTION. Selection reduces competitiveness and emphasize favouritism.

In a democratic nation like Nigeria, election should be allowed to thrive.

The question is: is Lawan more qualified than Ndume in leadership?

Are APC senators robots that cannot determine who lead them?

Everybody in the senate has been elected by Nigerians as their Representatives, hence everyone of them is qualified to vie for any position. We must pick competence over mediocrity.

SOLUTION
Let there be an internal election conducted for Lawan, Ndume and other APC senators interested in the senate president seat, and whoever wins can become the party's choice for the exalted office

If APC does not do this, they will have inner saboteurs which the PDP senators can leverage on.
