 Ahead of the 13th June inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, former members of the Federal Parliament from the South-South Geopolitical Zone rejects the micro-zoning of the position of the President of the Senate to God's will at Pabio. The group tagged former National Assembly members South-South Zone says, though the leadership of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, has zoned the position to their geopolitical zone, there is an urgent need to review the stance and throw the contest open to all senators-elect from the South-South. The forum notes further that it is the prerogative or senator-elect of the National Assembly to choose their presiding officers to which, that is to say, President of the Nigeria Senate, the Deputy President of the Senate, and indeed other principal officers of the National Assembly. The forum further notes that, unlike the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where only ranking members can aspire to the position of speakership and deputy speakership positions, all senators-elects are qualified to contest for the offices of the Senate President and that of the Deputy President of the Senate. As defenders and promoters of democracy, we strongly believe that our role as former National Assembly members will be able to pontificate from a positional strength and also from a position of experience. Also important to note that our real aim, our real objective here is how the Senate President should be zoned to the South-South. That is our number one aim. This is democracy. And we all know what democracy means. The rank on and the controversy that has visited the zoning in the recent time is as a result of the market.
