A meeting of top members of APC convened to resolve all
disagreements bordering on the zoning of top offices in the
incoming National Assembly ended in a deadlock on at the
Rivers state Governors lodge Abuja on Wednesday April 22nd.
According to Vanguard, the meeting came to a deadlock after
the leaders failed to reach a consensus on where to zone the
office of the speaker of the House of Representatives. The
members were divided between zoning it to the North-East
and South-West. The leaders however agreed on the zoning of
the office of Senate President to the North-Central and the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, to the
South-East.
Sources say outgoing minority leader, Femi Gbajabiamila and
Yakubu Dogara are being nominated for either speaker or
deputy speaker of the House of Representatives. In attendance
at the meeting were President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd); Vice-President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; party leader,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; governors-elect, senators-elect as well
as some top executive officers of the party.
