It is also expected to assuage the feeling of real or perceived disparity among the Igbo people.
Speaking with Vanguard, a reliable source who craved anonymity said Tinubu has vowed to ensure that all regions of the country were represented in his new government regardless of their political parties.
He said that Tinubu was said to have already informed some of his supporters among the elected senators to start shopping for anyone from the Southeast as the next Senate President.
A source disclosed that the zoning of the Senate Presidency and the speakership of the 10th House will be among the top agenda that will be discussed at an APC meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Monday at the State House in Abuja.
According to the source, Tinubu might make his preference for a South East Senate President known at the meeting and might anoint his close ally and the current Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
He said: “For the balance of Power, our President-elect understands that to have a rancor-free administration, every region must be carried along and the South East is very paramount to him.
“He has confided in us his commitment to support the emergence of a Senate President from the Southeast for the sake of equity, fairness, and justice, thus maintaining the balance of power and a sense of inclusion.”
