Nyesom Wike, the former Governor of Rivers State, reportedly held a six-hour meeting with Senate President Godswill Akpabio in an effort to influence the selection of Senate Minority leaders in both the upper and lower legislative chambers of the National Assembly.
The meeting, which took place in anticipation of the Senate resumption on July 4, 2023, was attended by several other senators.
Wike emphasized the necessity for his faction to nominate the Minority leader of the 10th Senate rather than allowing the PDP’s national body to handle the nomination.
While it remains unclear whether the Senate President accepted Wike’s proposal, he is actively seeking support from the National Assembly’s leadership and minority political parties in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The current composition of the Senate consists of 59 senators from the All Progressives Congress (APC), 36 from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), 8 from the Labour Party, 2 from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), 2 from the Social Democratic Party (SDP), 1 from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and 1 from the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
