The All-Progressives Congress, (APC) Northwest youths, has appealed   to the President-elect, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima, the party leadership and the party stakeholders to zone the seat of the Senate President to the Northwest. 

The youths said zoning senate president seat to the  NorthWest becomes imperative, bearing in mind the region's active participation and contribution towards the victory of party in the just concluded presidential election.

The APC youths wing said it observed that party is taking too long to deliberate on which region should occupy the senate president seat as the region have capable lawmakers from APC that were  re-elected and can occupy the seat. 

In a statement by the Northwest APC youth leader, Hon. Abdulhamid  Umar Moh'd( Oscar) , he explained that  the Northwest  remains a major APC stronghold in geo-political scheme of the country, followed by the Southwest, North East, North central, South South and south East.

 Accirding to him, There is need to compensate the northwest region with the seat of the senate president due to the votes and supports garnered from region.

"We gave President -Elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu the highest number of votes, Among the entire geopolitical zones across the country, the youths and every other person from the northwest geopolitical zone that exercised their civic obligation and voted the president elect will be gladly overwhelmed if the Senate Presidential seat is  zoned to the Northwest. 

"We observed that the party has been deliberating on zoning of the senate president seat for quite a while, there is no need to deliberate on this, judging from ranking perspective, APC have senators that are highly competent from the Northwest. Some have been in the National Assembly since 1999 and are doing very well in addressing issues regarding the country as a whole. We also have senators returning for there third time in the senate which are competent enough to deliver in the 10th coming senate.

"For equity and fairness, the Southwest produced the president-elect, the Northeast produced Vice president-elect while the party chairman is from the Northcentral, and the northwest that gave the largest block of votes and support that assured the victory of the party deserve compensation. 

"We are therefore, urging the party leadership and president and vice president elect to  zone the senate president seat to the Northwest, this will canvass enormous support and confidence of the APC leadership by our teaming voters across the geo political zone who went out in mass to ensure victory of our great party," Moh'd said.
