Fresh indications emerged on Monday that
the South-West geo-political zone would produce the next Deputy Senate
President based on the ranking rule of the upper chamber which gives
preference to returning senators.
A critical analysis of the incoming 8th
Senate indicated that with a simple majority in the chamber, the All
Progressives Congress’ members are expected to emerge as, Senate
President; Deputy Senate President; Senate Majority Leader; Chief Whip;
Deputy Majority Leader and Deputy Chief Whip.
A ranking senator, who preferred
anonymity, told our correspondent that the APC Senate Caucus members
were pushing for the Deputy Senate President slot to be filled by the
South-West since the North-Central and the North-East were currently
battling to produce the Senate President.
