The Niger Delta challengers have appealed to President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the seat of the Senate President to the Southeast region for the interest of peace and stability.

The National Coordinator of the group, Engr princess Tina, stated this in a press statement signed and made available to Journalists in Lagos on Monday.

“We call on Mr. President-elect, all members of the National Assembly, APC leadership, and any other relevant stakeholders to consider Southeast as a region that deserved to produce Senate President of the 10th National Assembly.

She said the region should be allowed to produce the next Senate President for peace and stability, adding: “Our party should consider National interest above every other thing by allowing the Southeast region to produce the next Senate President since we have the President from the Southwest and his vice from the Northeast.

“There is a climate of opinion that the Igbos from the Southeast are still being victimized in Nigeria, especially during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“2023 presents a perfect opportunity for President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC to integrate the Southeast region into mainstream politics and also to stabilize the nation for peace and national development. We the Niger Delta Challengers are appealing to our President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to consider the Southeast geopolitical zone for the office of the Senate President,” the statement said.
