Senator Sani Musa (Niger East) has restated his interest in contesting for senate president.
Musa, who made the clarification in a statement he personally signed yesterday, said reports that all contestants from the North had withdrawn was not the true position of the situation on ground.
He stressed that the only condition that could make him withdraw from the race is if the All Progressives Congress (APC) zones the presiding officer’s positions to other zones apart from the North Central.
Musa said,
“I am still in the race and will only decide otherwise if the zoning arrangement of our great party, the APC, did not favour my zone. I appeal to my Senators-elect, my constituents and the public to remain steadfast and be hopeful for a united and robust 10th National Assembly that will be independent and committed partner to our incoming administration.”
