The statement which was copied to senators representing the state including Senator Suleiman Oth- man Hunkuyi , Senator Shehu Sani , and Senator Laah stated that usually, the political offices in Kaduna State have always been fairly shared or distributed amongst the three senatorial districts in line with the principles of Federal Character en shrined in Section 14 and of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria .
CEDRA statement reads in parts Our Distinguished Senators, in the discharge of his constitutional duty to appoint a Federal Execu tive Council, President Muham- madu Buhari has submitted the list of the Minister nominees to the Nigerian Senate vide the Senate President for screening and, pos sibly, clearance.
If the nomination of Amina Mohammed is allowed by the Senators, especially, you, the distinguished Senators from Kadu- na State, the indigenes of the State will be short-changed; and this will be unconstitutional .
The group prayed that the sena tors should use their good offices to reject the nomination of the said Amina Mohammed and direct that an indigene of Kaduna State, prefer ably from Southern Kaduna senato rial district, be nominated and sent to the Senate for screening.
