The South-East Senate caucus has advised the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to be conscious of the grave implications of zoning and endorsing a candidate for the position of Senate President from the South-South without any regard for the South-East as such move will no doubt serve as a recipe for injustice which will culminate to restiveness.
The advise was contained in a communique by the caucus after a meeting in Abuja.
Reading the communique to journalists after the meeting, Senator Ifeanyi Uba said the lawmakers are imploring the President-elect to be sensitive to the times in Nigeria and ensure the country continues to thrive on the part of equity, unity and fairness.
Senator Orji Uzor-Kalu and first time Senator-elect, Dave Umahi are the top candidates from the South-East for the position of the Senate President.
For the speakership, other top APC lawmakers like Ado Doguwa from Kano State and Yusuf Gagdi from Plateau State are also gunning for the position.
Gagdi, a second-term federal lawmaker said to achieve his ambition, he is courting elected lawmakers from other parts of the country as well as other political parties.
