Despite the resolve by the All Progressives Congress (APC), the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and governors on the party’s platform to settle for consensus candidates, the Senator-elect from the South East, Engr Patrick C. Ndubueze, has joined the race for the Senate presidency of the 10th Assembly.
The party leaders had on Friday settled for Senator Godswill Akpabio and Hon Tajudeen Abbas as preferred choices for Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.
Our sister publication, LEADERSHIP Sunday, had reported yesterday that stiff opposition was gradually mounting against the consensus candidates of the party, with federal lawmakers in the race for the leadership of the National Assembly not willing to give up their ambitions.
