The selection of the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu, and Senator Sani Musa (Niger East) as the preferred candidates for Senate President and Deputy Senate President of the 10th Senate National Assembly, respectively, will be discussed in a meeting of northern stakeholders drawn from across party and religious lines.
It was learned yesterday that the stakeholders, which included some senators-elect, traditionalists, and religious leaders, had consented to meet and strategize on whether to support the Senate Chief Whip and his colleague from the Niger East as the choice of BolaTinubu and the senators-elect.
Earlier in the week, Tinubu had agreed that the Senate presidency of the next 10th National Assembly would be zoned to the All Progressives Congress.
