Ahead of the June 13 inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, President Bola Tinubu has appealed to All Progressives Congress, APC, Senators-elect to
abide by the zoning arrangements as announced by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party last month.
Tinubu, according to sources, while addressing over 43 APC senators-elect led by Senator Akpabio at the Aso Rock Villa late Wednesday night, made a passionate appeal to them to toe the lines of the party’s zoning arrangement in electing their presiding officers, stressing that it is the right thing to do in support of the Renewed Hope agenda of his administration.
“We must see the situation as a pan-Nigerian project for the executive and the legislature to work out solutions to the challenges of the nation,” he stressed. He added that the senators-elect present at the meeting should reach out and pass the appeal to others unavoidably absent to toe the party line and put a leash on all personal ambition in favour of party programme and national interest.
