By DAPO ALAOSEBIKAN –

It is an open secret that the race for the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly is on. It is equally a national knowledge that the race is literally between the South-South and South-East geopolitical zones of the country though the North-West is lately trying to be in contention with the recent news of intention by ex-Governor Abdulaziz Yari from Zamfara State.

As things currently stand in geopolitical Nigeria however, the two front liners for the coveted post of nation’s Apex Legislature being mentioned in our social space are Senators Godswill Akpabio and Orji Uzor Kalu from South-South and South-East respectively.
