Senate President: Why Yari Is Best Man For The Job – EYLC

The Ethnic Youth Leaders Council of Nigeria (EYLC) has thrown its weight behind Zamfara West Senator-elect, Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari, to emerge Senate President in the next 10th National Assembly.

EYLC is apolitical, non-religious, multi-ethnic and egalitarian coalition of youth leaders in Nigeria.

The group further urged President Bola Tinubu to steer clear of the election of presiding officers for the 10th National Assembly as a Democrat, who will want democracy to thrive in Nigeria.

The Ethnic Youth Leaders Council of Nigeria (EYLC) wishes to announce that following a painstaking analysis of all the top aspirants for the Presidency of the 10th Senate, we reached the unassailable conclusion that Senator Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari is the most eligible candidate to be our next Senate President. We therefore humbly implore the President and Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, to kindly steer clear of the politics of the National Assembly and allow the Federal Legislators to elect the various leaders of their choice, while appealing to all the distinguished members of the 10th Senate to cast their votes for Sen.
