The controversy bedeviling the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken another dimension as aggrieved Senate Presidential aspirants have openly informed the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) that they will disobey the directive to have Senator Godswill Akpabio as the next Senate President.
The senators who made the declaration include former Zamfara state governor Abdulaziz Yari, former governor of Abia state Orji Uzor-Kalu, and Senator Sani Musa, amongst others.
Making their remarks at an ongoing meeting, the aggrieved aspirants submitted a letter jointly signed and asked the party to correct “its mistake or face the consequences.”
According to Yari, any attempt to zone the Senate Presidency out of Northern Nigeria will spell doom for the ruling party.

The former governor said: “APC will become history if the North is not allowed to produce the next Senate President.”
King, Orji Kalu threatened not to obey the APC zoning arrangement if justice was not done to the Southeast.
He said: “We will not obey the party on the floor of the Senate.”
Also, Senator Sani Musa insisted that the party correct the injustice done to North-central.
