There are indications that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may zone the position of the 10th Senate President to the Southeast.

Furthermore, the party may also select a Christian senator for the position, given that the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, and his vice, Kashim Shettima, are Muslims.

What you should know: Using Tinubu’s words, the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, affirmed his bid for the senate presidency.

Senator Kalu, who is also an APC member, added that it was his turn to become the President of the Senate, given that he is the most senior APC Senator from the South East.
