The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has offered 40 automatic tickets to Senators.
After a three-hour meeting, President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) conceded automatic tickets to 40 out of 72 PDP Senators to return to the Red Chamber. The President and the PDP will however engage the governors of the party to allow experienced Senators to come back in 2015.
Jonathan said it pays the nation to have built a stronger legislature than starting afresh all the time.
But governors interested in picking their successors might not be given senatorial ticket. With the development, some governors may lose out of the senatorial politics.
The governors are Sullivan Chime (Enugu West already conceded to Ekweremadu); Suswam (Benue North-East where Gemade may be retained); Liyel Imoke now to accept Victor Ndoma-Egba for Cross River Central instead of a new candidate); and Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta South now conceded to the incumbent, James Manager). According to a Senator from the South-East, the session at the Presidential Villa was a frank session with all the sides allowed to air their views.
