10th NASS Leadership: Ndume says open competition better than zoning

Ali Ndume, a senator for Borno South Senatorial District, has argued that the 10th National Assembly’s leadership should be inclusive rather than restricted to particular geographical regions in Nigeria.

Ndume, a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, also stated that he is awaiting a decision on the leadership of the new Senate and House of Representatives from his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is now in power.

With more than 55 Senate seats out of 109 and more than 160 out of 360 House of Representatives seats, the APC won the majority of the legislative seats during the elections.
