The All Progressives Congress (APC) Integrity Group, says it supports Sen. Osita Izunaso as President of the 10th Senate due to his patriotism, competence and political experience acquired in the National Assembly.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday and signed by the group’s National Coordinator, Malam Dawu Mohammed, and Secretary, Comrade Chisom Nwakanma, respectively.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Sen. Izunaso, who is a current Senator-Elect representing Imo West, had declared his interest to be the President of the 10th Senate.
The group described Sen. Izunaso as a senator-elect who had acquired quality education and legislative experiences in both the lower and upper Chambers of the National Assembly.
“Distinguished Sen. Izunaso is a lawmaker who has demonstrated the competence and patriotism in both chambers.
“He is a committed patriot, nationalist, a core party man, urbane, cosmopolitan in outlook and worldview, competent party administrator, journalist of repute and a lawyer,” it said.
The group urged the National Working Committee of the APC to zone the position of the President of the 10th Senate to South-East in the interest of fairness and equity.
