Salihu Lukman, an APC National Working Committee (NWC) member, and Vice-Chairman, has remarked that a Christian from the South-South region should be spearheading the 10th National Assembly.
According to the Vice Chairman in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 28, reshuffling positions would help douse the current ethnic and religious tension in the country which took root from the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu and Shettima who were both Muslims and hailed from the South-west and the North East respectively.
Although Nigeria’s ruling party is yet to come up with a zoning formula for the leadership positions in the national assembly, a select number of the senators elected have indicated their interest to contest for the position.
Some of the known names in the senatorial race include Abdulaziz Yari, Jibrin Barau, David Umahi, Orji Kalu, Ali Ndume, and Godswill Akpabio.
