Senators have Commenced voting in the floor on Tuesday as former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio and former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdul Aziz Yari are squaring up to contest for the presidency of the Nigerian senate . This is just as fresh tension envelopes the National Assembly over the next leadership of the 10th National Assembly.
While Senator Ali Ndume nominated Godswill Akpabio, Senator Elisha Abbo, nominated Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari for the same position.
While the Akpabio camp claim they have 70 out of the 109 senators on their side, those on the camp of Yari claim to have 68 senators. There are uncertainties over the plan by either of the camps to make some members switch allegiance at the critical time.
