Governor Aminu Masari says northerners’ commitment to the APC zoning arrangement ensured the emergence of President-elect Bola Tinubu.
INEC has urged Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi residents to scrutinise the final list of candidates for the November 11 governorship election and challenge any false claims.
“The law did not say an APC member-elect must be the speaker.”
Mr Abubakar said that the PDP formed in 1999 as a dominant political party was passing through challenges that must be addressed.
The senators included Senators Abdulaziz Yari (APC-Zamfara), Sani Musa (APC-Niger) and Orji Uzor Kalu (APC-Abia).
“So, our resolve to participate is to reverse the uneventful and uninspiring narratives. It is to restore the lost glory of local government administration and its pride.
“This is the month of grace, the month of renewed hope, a time for success, joy, unity, healing and grace.”
The presidential election petitions tribunal has adjourned until May 18, the hearing of the February 25 election disputes.
The tribunal will hear Mr Abubakar and the PDP’s motions seeking live transmission of court proceedings and petitions challenging the presidential poll’s outcome.
“The overwhelming majority of the senators-elect are of the opinion that we must be independent. That is the only way we can take the executive to account.”
