The senator-elect from Imo North Senatorial District, Patrick Ndubueze, has joined the race for the position of Senate President ahead of the 10th Assembly inauguration.
The Imo-born politician declared his intention in an open letter that he wrote to the ruling All Progressives Congress party and all the 109 Senators-elect to solicit their support to realise this vision.
The development is coming less than two days after former Zamfara Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, has said that he would not step down for the immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godwin Akpabio, who is being considered for the APC’s consensus arrangement.
Ndubueze was first elected member of the Federal House of Representatives representing Okigwe Federal Constituency in Imo State in 1992 and has been touted as one of the loyalists of Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
In his notification letter issued to the APC National Working Committee and made available to journalists on Sunday, the lawmaker thanked the national leadership of the party for giving a level playing field, especially to aspirants in the South, for equity and federal character.
The senator-elect further disclosed that the Senate has grown into an icon of national democratic trajectory and had, over the years, shown a capacity to fulfil the huge expectations of Nigerians across all boards.
The letter partly read, “In respect of current realities in this time which requires sensitive leadership in the Senate in the moulds of focused leadership, one that is people-centric and supportive.
