Senator-elect for Ebonyi South senatorial district, Dave Umahi has joined other senators to battle for the position of Senate presidency.
Umahi’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Francis
Nwaze made this known in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.
He wrote, “Governor David Umahi, CON, indicates interest in
contesting for the President of the Senate of the 10th Senate”.
There are indications that the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC may zone the position of the 10th senate president to the
Southeast.
The party may also pick a Christian senator for the
position, having the president-elect, Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima
as Muslims.
Recall that the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor
Kalu, on Tuesday warned that since Nigeria is a secular state, it would not be
right for persons of the same religious faith to occupy the first three highest
political offices in the country.
Kalu who spoke with journalists on Tuesday, stated that it
was his turn to become the President of the Senate, noting that he is the most
ranking Senator of the APC from the South East.
