Why Senators Want Akpabio As Senate President (the odds against Orji Kalu)
-Ayanda Ayotunde
The race for who would become the next Senate President is becoming clearer by the day with the ex-governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio topping the list of contenders.
A source revealed to papermacheonline that APC lawmakers in their calculation prefer Akpabio over Orji Uzor Kalu who is telling everyone his ambition to get the coveted position.
The lawmakers, majorly from the House of Reps are gunning for Akpabio which they consider more qualified than Orji Kalu.
One of their arguments was the result of the presidential election where the SouthSouth had some staggering results compared to the meagre votes that came from Kalu’s zone.
Again, they also alleged the role Kalu played when he supported Ahmed Lawan against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu compared to Akpabio who stepped down his ambition and collapsed his structure for Tinubu.
The lawmakers in their permutation also see the Deputy-Speakership of the House of Reps going to another zone if Orji Kalu was made the Senate President.
The president-elect is reported to be on his way to umra and the lobbying and consultation is expected to continue as some Senators and House of Representative members are also on a pilgrimage with the intention of meeting the president-elect.

All The Shocking Details As PDP Declares Adedamola Osun Flagbearer, Beats Gov Adeleke in Tense Primary
In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.
According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”
Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.
Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.
Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.
Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.
With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.
