Prince John Mayaki, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Edo State, has faulted the argument of Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba that the leadership of the 10th Senate should be zoned to the South-East region based on historical precedent and the constitution’s recommendation for equity and justice in government composition.
Ndoma-Egba, a former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), made the claim in a recent media interview, citing the events that characterized the two-term tenure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo which saw a series of Senators from the South-East assume the leadership of the Senate.
