Between 1999 and 2007 (eight years), five Senate presidents emerged from the five South-East states: one from each of the states. It is a point used to ridicule the South-East geopolitical zone as incapable of working as one. But those who make that argument miss the underlying point in that scenario.
Between 2007 and 2019, a period of 12 years, one person from the South-East, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, was the Deputy Senate President. The South-East ensured that he was not removed or replaced. No Senate President or Deputy Senate President or Speaker has stayed that long in office in Nigeria.
