The senator stated that the issue of zoning does not matter adding that the country needs a Senate president who has the best interest of Nigerians at heart.
He stated this during an interview with ARISE NEWS. His position is at variance with some former Senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, who said that the Senate President should be a Christian from the South-East, and Cletus Obun, who insisted that the Senate presidency should be zoned to the South-South.
Jarigbe said “I think that we should choose the best out of the many that will come out… I think that, as senators, we should be allowed to choose who will be the senate president,” saying that the best candidate could come from any zone or religion, despite the call for equity and balance.
