Former Kaduna Central Senator, Senator Shehu Sani has maintained that electing a Christian as the Senate President is the only way to balance power in the religious contest, following the Muslim /Muslim administration.
He made this known via his Official Twitter Account @ShehuSani recently.
According to him, the implication of not having a Christian as the Senate President would exaggerate the already burning accusation against them as religious bigots.
He said, ” I watched the video clip where the Vice President, Shetima spoke about the comparative suitability and competence of a Northern Muslim and Southern Christian.
“My understanding is that he spoke within the context of their effort to balance the religious scale with regards to who becomes the Senate President.He is evidently making a case for a Christian Senate President in view of the lopsided religious configuration.
“With a Muslim President and Vice President and a Muslim Speaker and Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, the ruling party’s only opportunity to score a balance is the Senate Presidency. If they lost this, definitely the accusation against them will be a proven case.”
