AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima, said Senators should not pick a leader that would be a rubber stamp to President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

According to Shettima: “The South-South and Southeast have come to the fore, but it’s left to the National Assembly to look inward because we expect that the Senate Presidency should come from there.NYSC Portal

“They should look out for a competent hand and consider it. The Southsouth and Southeast are more qualified, and they should come from there. They should consider selecting a more serious-minded person from those zones; they should not consider a rubber-stamped leader.NYSC Portal

“They should look out for the character before deciding who emerges so that there would be a truly democratic process in the National Assembly. If we have a rubber stamp like this ninth Assembly, then we would have a problem; there must be check and balances.”

“As Tinubu assumes office, I want him to look inward and discharge his duty as the president of Nigeria, he shouldn’t be seen as a sectional leader. He should do justice to all,” he added.JAMB Result
