Afegbua says ‘South-South key to Nigeria’s existence, APC’s victory… must clinch Senate Presidency’

…says Kalu, others failed to deliver, cannot be rewarded for failure

Former Commissioner for Information in Edo State, Prince Kassim Afegbua, has maintained that the he South South geo-political zone must produce the leader of Nigeria’s 10th Senate due to the region’s vital importance to the country’s economic survival and its formidable contribution to the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the February 2023 presidential contest.

Afegbua repeated the call in a recent media interview where he emphasized the South South’s peculiar status as the country’s “treasure base”, while noting the failure of other regional contenders vying for the Senate Presidency to either satisfy the need for geo-political balancing or make the difference for the party at the polls.
