Asari Dokubo Reveals Which Region Should Produce Next Senate President

 

Former Niger Delta militant, Mujahid Asari Dokubo has named the region that should produce the next Senate President.

 

According to him, the All Progressives Congress (APC) should zone the 10th Senate Presidency to the South East.

 

In a live video feed on his Facebook page over the weekend, Dokubo urged the ruling to consider the Southeast region for the Senate President in its zoning formula for principal officers in the 10th Senate.

 

He stated that it would be politically correct to zone the Senate Presidency to the South East as it would mend wounds, and ensure togetherness, thereby creating unity in the polity.

 

He argued that although the South Eastern states rejected the APC in the presidential election, the region would not have any reason to complain when given the Senate President position.

 

The freedom fighter cautioned that Tinubu might be set up to fail if the South East is not recognized and may spell doom for his administration.

 

He said: “But for me, Mr. President, and my senior brother, give the Senate President to the Southeast. All of this country must come together as we mend the wounds.”

“Any claims that the Igbo are under-represented will be disproved by giving them that position. For the position of Senate President, I have no favorite.”

 

Dokubo also stated that the Senate President position in the 10th National Assembly should not be zoned to the South-South region because the zone will occupy a lot of ministerial positions and the biggest is the oil ministry.
