By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
President-elect, Bola Tinubu has been warned against endorsing a candidate for the position of Senate President from the South-South without any regard for the Southeast.
The South East caucus gave the advise in a communique issued after a meeting on Monday in Abuja.
Senator Ifeanyi Uba, who read the read the communique on behalf of the South East Senate caucus, said such move will no doubt serve as a recipe for Injustice which will culminate to restiveness.
He said the lawmakers are imploring the President-elect to be sensitive to the times in Nigeria and ensure the country continues to thrive on the part of equity, unity and fairness.
He said the country is already divided amongst ethnic and religious lines because of the exclusion of the Southeast region, adding that he wants the incoming administration of Mr Tinubu to correct this anomaly by ensuring that the Southeast is given the opportunity to produce the next Senate President.
