National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu says the party will not
compromise merit as it chooses the new Senate president for
the incoming 8th National Assembly. According to Tinubu, the
party has ruled out zoning of the seat because it could
compromise the credibility and qualification of an individual.
He said for anyone to aspire to be the Senate president, such
a person must be competent and possess the character of a
leader. He said this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja
yesterday May 21st.
"Well, you have heard from the party; you have heard
from leadership. My desire is not to rock the party. I
am a disciplined party man and we will look at it
critically. However, the nation is expecting us to take a
decisive leadership decision. Merit would not be
compromised. You have to be competent; you have to
possess the character for the leadership. You have to
be PAN Nigerian and be a very solid character to lead
the National Assembly and that is what we are talking
about,’’ he said.
