As the jostle for Senate Presidency intensifies, senators may defy the zoning arrangement of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if the Senate Presidency is not properly zoned, the Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Ahmad Sani, says. According to Sani, the National Assembly was now made up of more independent minded individuals who hold national interests above that of the party.
He recalled that Hon. Aminu Tambuwal was not the candidate of the PDP for Speaker, but he was
elected by members all the same. According to him, if the APC does not zone the seat correctly, the senators may defy it and vote the right candidate. "Zoning is a party matter, it is not a Senate matter, the senators can decide to vote for the best candidate that they think will lead them more properly and more efficiently. ``Party can make its zoning, if they don’t zone it correctly, and it is not acceptable to the National Assembly members, they can decide to do election and elect the candidate they think will lead them properly.’’
