The Senate South-East Caucus has demanded that the All Progressives Congress (APC) zone the Senate presidency of the 10th Assembly to the South-East.

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah (YPP-Anambra) disclosed the caucusโ€™ position in a communique he signed. It came at the end of a meeting of the caucus on Sunday in Abuja.

The group also urged the President-elect Bola Tinubu to ensure that the position was zoned to the South-East.

โ€œThe incoming administration of Tinubu must correct this anomaly by ensuring that the South-East is given the opportunity to produce the next Senate President.

โ€œThe President-elect should be sensitive to the times in Nigeria and ensure the country continues to thrive on the part of equity, unity and fairness to the tripod of Nigeria (Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba) and the geopolitical zones.

โ€œWith the side-lining of the South-East from producing the Presidential candidates of the major political parties before the general elections, the only means through which the zone can be compensated and given a sense of belonging is for the zone to produce the next Senate President.

โ€œThis will restore confidence of the people from the South-East and South-South geo-political zones and indeed all Nigerians in the unity of the country.โ€

The group added: โ€œThe APC must rise above primordial and political interest.

โ€œIt must also shun the โ€˜winner takes all syndromeโ€™ and pursue ethno-religious inclusivity and a strong, virile, united, progressive, prosperous, equitable and just democratic nation.

โ€œThe South-East has been denied the chance of producing the president of Nigeria since 1966.

โ€œThe South-South has produced a president for six years and also had a Deputy Senate President in the outgoing administration.โ€

โ€œThe only zone in the South that has not been favoured is the South-East.

โ€œThe South-West has a President, the North-East has a Vice-President. It is only just that the least position at the moment that can assuage the South-East is given the chance to be the President of the 10th Senate.

โ€œWe have collectively resolved to support South-East aspirants of the APC. โ€œWe remain committed and have since expanded negotiations with other well-meaning senators-elect to rally round the South-East to ensure that justice, fairness and unity of the country prevailsโ€.

Reports are rife that the Mr Tinubu and the APC hierarchy are tending towards zoning the Senate President position to South-South, particularly to Senator Godswill Akpabio (APC-Akwa Ibom).
