ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has assured the South-East that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu will compensate the region for missing out on the Senate Presidency.
The Governor said Tinubu would compensate the South-East with other tangible positions for sacrificing the Senate Presidency seat.
Umahi stated this while addressing journalists at the Muhammadu Buhari International Airport, Onueke, Ebonyi State.
According to him: āLet it not be as if we are in opposition all the time.
āPolitics is all about dialogue; give and take. Since we did not get that, we will get something else that is very tangible.ā
Also, Umahi disclosed that most Senators-elect are behind Godswill Akpabio emerging as the next Senate President.
āI am not yet a senator, but if you say senators-elect, the majority of them I know are with Akpabio, and I am Akpabioās campaign coordinator,ā he added.
It would be recalled that Umahi had stepped down for Akpabio as the race for the Senate President heats up.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), in an attempt to pave the way for Akpabio zoned the Senate Presidency to the South-south.
