A former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo has said the South East geopolitical zone should produce the next Senate President.
Dokubo said the All Progressives Congress, APC, should zone the 10th Senate Presidency to the South East.
The former militant leader said it would be politically correct to zone the Senate Presidency to the South East because it would mend wounds and bring about unity.
In a Facebook Live video broadcast, Dokubo said the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, might be set up to fail if the South East is not allowed to produce the Senate President.
According to Dokubo, ignoring the South East might spell doom for his administration.
He said: “But for me, President and my senior brother, give the Senate President to the South East. All of this country must come together as we mend the wounds.
“Any claims that the Igbo are under-represented will be disproved by giving them that position. For the position of Senate President, I have no favourite.”
