The National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (North-West), Malam Salihu Lukman, on Monday, warned against choosing a Muslim lawmaker as the next Senate president to avoid a repeat of the tension that greeted the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket last year.

The emergence of Yari and Barau has increased the number of senators jostling for the number one office in the Red Chamber.

But Lukman, a member of the APC National Working Committee, however, reiterated that no North-West or North-East candidate should be considered for the position. “Any Muslim aspiring for the position of Senate President has no respect for both the constitutions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the APC.

I repeat, both the Senate President and Speaker HoR must be Christians.

The fact that this is a bone of contention is the reason we need to weed this party off Aso rock. callous!

APC must be very careful in order to avoid the repeat of 2015 situation. The opposition are at work

Why? Everyone one of them should be a Muslim

We need a Muslim senate President... From the North West

What matters is competence not religion

Who cares. If una like make una give all the appointment to Muslims, the one Buhari do na who e help? Rubbish!!!

Why is he opposing Religion and tribe should not be considerations for political offices. As far as i am concerned, the NW Muslims are in a better position for that role at the moment. They have really delivered for the APC as well.

It will not be well for the APC vice chair that said this Every post to go to Northern Muslims Religion over competence Senate leadership House of Rep leadership SGD CHIEF OF STAFF MINISTERS CHAIRMEN OF AGENCIES and all other significant post should go to Northern Muslims

We want Muslim Senate President please

I see no rationale behind this man's opposition of the Senate president being a Muslim. His opinion is totally antithetical to the templates of APC's nomination procedures, therefore I can confidently say he's displaying anti party tendencies.

Oga na Muslim Senate president we want.

Daily loud!!!!

In fact give all post to Muslims as long as they're competent. Religion do not matter.

Why

Religion do not matter what we need is competence.
