This was according to a statement from Alh. Tukur Gana, a respected Chieftain of the APC in Sokoto State, in which he urged the northern caucus of the assembly “to balance the understandable jockeying for power with other higher national goals, particularly inclusion and fairness.”
He explained that by zoning the Senate Presidency to the South-South region, the party would be sending a strong message to the nation that it remains committed to the spirit of inclusion and equity that binds the country together. This alongside an expression of its serious appreciation of the the growing support it enjoys in the oil-rich region where the opposition hitherto held sway.
