Reno Omokri believes that in order to achieve a balance between religious and regional factors, the Senate Presidency should have been given to a Northern Christian.
He expressed this viewpoint on his Instagram page following the emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President.
According to Omokri, ”Ideally, the Senate Presidency should have gone to a Northern Christian to balance both the religious and regional factors. That way, Northerners would have felt a sense of representation, and Christians would still feel comfortable. Let us learn from our history instead of repeating history and accusing history of repeating itself. We have a Southern President and Chief Justice as heads of the Executive and Judiciary. As a result, the head of the Legislature ought to have been a Northerner. Anytime there is an imbalance in the three arms of Government, Nigeria has always faced political instability. Sharing power equitably is the only antidote to that volatility.”
