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.
