Amalgamated Support Groups Urges Tinubu to Consider Northwest Zone for Senate President 

The Director-General of Amalgamated All Progressives Congress (APC) support groups , Engineer Kailani Muhammad has urged the President -elect to consider the Northwest zone for the Senate Presidency.

According to the DG, the massive votes APC got from northwest, no doubt  gave the President- elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima the deserved victory at the polls .

The Director-General of the Amalgamated APC support groups , Engineer Kailani,who also the National Coordinator of Tinubu Shettima Network (TSN)  stated this  during a visit by the former Governor of Zamafara State , Alhaji Abdula'ziz Abubakar Yari to his office in Abuja to inform the  support groups about his interest to vie for the position of the Senate President.

During the visit Kailani reiterated the call by members of the party from Zamfara State and party across the Northwest zone to consider ceding the Senate Presidency to northwest, especially to former Governor  Yari for his experience and capacity. 

He  said : Yorubas have taken the president; the northeast ,the Vice President and so it's incumbent on the President-elect to give the northwest zone , the seat of the Senate President in appreciation of the invaluable contributions of the zone to his overwhelming victory.

He reiterated," It's the turn of the Northwest to become the Senate President , considering the massive vote given to the zone gave  APC , during the just concluded 2023  general elections."

He however, urged former Zamfara Governor, Abdula'ziz Yari to ensure good rapport between  the Executive arm of government and members of the National Assembly for speedy delivery and passage of  bills sent to the National Assembly that have direct bearing on development of the people and country. 

Former Governor Yari,who was at the APC support groups office to express his interest to become the President of the 10th Senate assured Nigerians of enhanced and quality legislative process for sustainable development across the country.

Yari who overtly signified his interest to  become President of the 10th Senate,said the Northwest zone deserved it for several reasons , amongst which he said are issues of loyalty and support base for the ruling Party .

Speaking on his ability ,Yari said ," I am the most qualified for the position of Senate President considering my  capacity to put everyone together for purpose of APC government succeeding from 2023 to 2027. 

"My relationship with the President elect ,my relationship with the senators ,my relationship with the governors and former Governors cannot be in question".he said.

Reaction to the question of having  Muslims  3 heads of government ,Yari said if Nigerians are practicing true democracy it shouldn't matter.

He explained ," The presidential election should be an eye opener that religion and ethnicity cannot be used as yard stick for electing leaders .

"If it is to be ethnicity,Obi can't win Lagos a predominantly Yoruba state and if it is by religion Asiwaju can't win Zamfara ,a predominantly Hausa State."
