Civil Society Organisation known as the Nigeria Civil Society Advocacy Group (NiCAG) has said that the position of the senate presidency should be zoned to the South South geopolitical zone of the country .
The group which held a press conference Abuja on Tuesday insisted that Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio who hails from that region is eminently qualified to be the senate President .
According to the group leader, Kenneth Etta Obi,
" Akpabio remains the best material for this top position under the present circumstances, adding that an Akpabio as the President of the Senate under the Tinubu Presidency would be the best thing to happen to Nigerians in terms of inclusive democracy and good governance.
The group further urged political all political actors to appreciate the efforts and huge sacrifices of the South-South in ensuring that the Tinubu-Shettima ticket won the 2023 Presidential election.
"The National Assembly is a microcosm of the Nigerian-state and the politics of the National Assembly must be played to equally reflect and satisfy the yearnings of Nigerians for equity, justice and fairness to the zones that have not produced its leadership since the return of democracy
Obi rounded up .
