- The race for the Senate presidency in the incoming Tenth National Assembly has taken a new turn
- Feelers from the ruling APC indicate that first-timers are showing interest in the race, not minding they are not ranking senators
- Recall that the rule of the red chamber does not explicitly state that only ranking senators can be Senate president
FCT, Abuja – A report by ThisDay indicates that the race for principal offices, particularly the position of Senate President in the upper chamber, has begun.
According to the report, the incumbent Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, and some senators-elect on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform, like Orji Uzor-Kalu, Barau Bibrin, Godswill Akpabio, Adams Oshiomhole, Abdul-Aziz Yari and Dave Umahi, had started subtle campaigns.
