10th NASS: APC To Review Zoning Formula As Yari, Kalu, 3 Others Protest - Latest News
The speakership aspirants referred to as the G7 had equally taken their grievances to the NWC on Wednesday, saying the party’s leadership should be prepared for a repeat of what happened in 2015 when those endorsed by the party could not emerge as presiding officers of the National Assembly.
Speaking at a meeting with the party’s NWC, the Senate president aspirants who submitted a protest letter jointly signed by them, asked the party leadership to correct the mistake on the zoning formula or face the consequences. Adamu said, “As chairman of the APC, I take responsibility for what has gone on air. I take absolute responsibility for that. Yes, there was no sufficient or adequate consultations with you who are contesting and it is simple principle of democracy that you get views and opinions. But the circumstances that we found ourselves in after the elections frustrated our desire.
“So, he is right now outside the country and by the grace of God when he comes back we will go back to the drawing board and put ours heads together again and see what we will get.
