Indications have emerged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will zone the position of Senate Presidency to the South East to assuage feelings of people from the region.

According to inside sources, with Bola Tinubu, from South West, as president from May 29 and Kashim Shetima, from North East, as Vice President, caucuses in APC are favourably disposed to having a Senate president from South East.

Confirming this, a member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC, who wants to remain anonymous, said some elders of the party believe that zoning of the number three position to South East will create a balance of power, in line with the original tripod in the county.

He revealed that majority of the party’s NWC are of the view that in the spirit of inclusiveness promised by Tinubu, it will pay the APC to zone the Senate Presidency to South East, at a time numbers of APC senators from the region has risen to six, from one in 2015.

The NWC member said those ing this arrangement have started reaching out to other zones to get their endorsement.

“Having missed out from the presidential contest in all parties at a time the clamour for a president of Igbo extraction was high, it is in the interest of the APC to zone the number three political position to South East,” he said.


The source further revealed that the North Central and the South South have also been positioned to produce the Deputy Senate President and Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, respectively, while North West will produce Speaker, House of Representatives.

He said the NWC were keen on dousing religious and tribal tension in the country, with its zoning formula.

According to him, “there is tension already and the party is determined to reduce it by doing its best to zone its offices, beginning with the Senate Presidency to the South East.

Arrangements have been concluded to meet with our President-elect, Tinubu, on this matter.

“Since 2015, the distribution of leadership positions by the APC has not been balanced and we are committed to correcting it with the 10th Assembly. So far, we are the majority with 57 senatorial seats.

“During our party’s primaries, the South East didn’t get the of the party to produce the candidate. This didn’t go down well with them. Now is another opportunity to prove to Nigerians that we are a party for all.”

Stop talking nonsense

Did you not read where I wrote that the stolen mandate must be returned ?

Igbos definitely don't need this ,if we survived buhari with no Igbos in the first 10 positions, we will survive this.

Igbos should avoid this trap

LP will give SW Senate Presidency when the dust settles.

No need to rush. Everyone should calm down, especially the riggers.

APC wants to beg the Igbos after wronging the region for 8 years

They've seen that the south east grow even more stronger despite Buhari neglect and will grow more stronger going forward so they have no choice than to beg the Igbos with Senate enate Presidency

Tinubu stole the peoples mandate and until he return it that peace will reign in his disturbed life

Suddenly they now think the 5%ters or people of the dot nation matters in the scheme of things? Why perinatal the Senate Presidency? SE does not deserves something more better? Yet one Nigeria not built on equity, fairness, or justice? Hell no!

You don't deserve a thing in the government.

Lmao. aka Princeoflagos, have you given up on Obi already? You are posting about Senate Presidency in APC government Lmao.

Scam

It would be an inclusive government after all Nigeria belongs to all

L

Okay

Return d mandate to obi.... Stop this nonsense

Make them win the supreme court case first.

God forbid evil....

South south should get it.
They will disorganise the government of our lovely President elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Hate runs in their blood!

It's good if the APC wants to create a sense of equity by zoning the position of SP to the SE. But objectively speaking, the SE do not deserve that seat more than the NW, NC or SS who actually produced substantial votes that aided the APC to retain power at the federal level.

The SE ought to know that there are consequences for our political choices. You can't keep playing amiss and expect to be awarded a prize for that. It is well sha........

All these undisciplined teenagers on this forum, If you quote me to spew rubbish, I will send you home to deliver a message to your father. Be guided.

To be truthful, those who play politics of hatred and bitterness don't need to be placated or rewarded. Hatred has to good reward.

They really do not deserve a position like this in national politics, but knowing who Asiwaju is, they will be carried along.

Did you read that we are begging for it? Who cares about your government?

Taba21:
