[OPINION BY ABDULHALEEM ISHAQ RINGIM] 10th national assembly: The imperative of balancing the scales | TheCable

The 2023 presidential election will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most fiercely competitive and controversial in Nigeria’s democratic history. In an unprecedented turn of events, the president and vice-president will share the same faith, despite representing a transnational handshake from a regional perspective.

However, if left to a laissez-faire approach, Nigeria could end up with an unbalanced leadership structure, with four Muslims at the helm of national affairs. If this were to occur, the senate president and speaker of the house of representatives would most likely be Muslims from northern Nigeria.

Hence, the arrangement should be modified in such a way that the zones to which positions of the senate president and deputy speaker will be deferred are switched while maintaining the speakership and deputy senate presidency for the north-west and north-central respectively. This way, the senate president will come from the south-south, where APC garnered 799,958 votes, representing 29.
