Senate Presidency: Senators Won’t Tolerate Imposition – Yari

Senator-elect Abdulaziz Yari has said the contest for the position of the President of the 10th Senate will be based on constitutional provisions and not instructions by anyone.

Yari, who is also the former Governor of Zamfara, said this on Friday while meeting with the executives of the Tinubu Shettima Network (TSN), headed by its National Chairman, Dr Kailani Muhammad, in Abuja.

Yari had declared his intention to contest for the position of President of the 10th Senate.

The senator-elect described the contest as senators’ business, backed by the constitution to chose leader within themselves.

“The senate presidency is senators’ business and on the ‘D- day’ when we are going to elect our president, we will do the needful.

“When we do that, we are not for anybody. We are doing what the constitution says that we should take our leader within ourselves.

“That is what the sections of the constitution stated very clearly. What is going to happen that day, it is going to happen based on the instructions of the constitution and not for anyone.

“So, we are going to exercise our constitutional rights there,” Yari said

He commended the TSN for supporting his cause to become the President of the 10th Senate, saying that the group’s work in area of mobilisation support for his cause was commendable.
