Why Kano NNPP opposes zoning Senate presidency to North-west – Group

An All Progressives Congress (APC) support group has said that the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) is opposed to the zoning of the office of the Senate President by the North-west region because the party is afraid of Barau Jibrin, an APC senator aspiring for the seat.

The NNPP Presidential Campaign Spokesperson, Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member-elect of the House of Representatives from Kano State, opined that a northern Muslim should not be allowed to become the senate president.

Mr Abdulmumin during an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday said using the 1999 template, the next senate president should be from the South-east region.
