Former Presidential aide Reno Omokri has reacted to the election of Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President of the 10th Senate.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio emerged winner of the keenly contested election held on Tuesday.
Reacting, Omokri, in a tweet via his Twitter handle, claimed that Akpbabio’s election created an imbalance in the government in favour of Southern Nigeria.
He tweeted, “In my opinion, it is wrong for the 10th Senate to have elected any Southerner as Senate President. It creates an imbalance in the government in favour of Southern Nigeria.
“The head of the executive, President Tinubu, is from the Southwest. The head of the judiciary, Justice Ariwoola, is also from the Southwest. Now, the head of the legislature, Akpabio, is from the South-South.
“If you were a Northerner, how would you feel? Yes, Buhari did it. And we complained. We were not happy. If we keep quiet now, are we not as hypocritical as those who justified Buhari’s Northernisation policy?”.
