‘An imposition’ — CSOs protest APC’s nominations for n’assembly leadership positions | TheCable
A group known as the Coalition of Pro-democracy Civic Society Organisations has condemned the All Progressives Congress for nominating the presiding officers for the incoming national assembly.
While Akpabio was nominated for president of the senate, Tajudeen was endorsed for the speaker of the house of representatives. He cautioned that those nominated might not enjoy the acceptance of their fellow lawmakers if the arrangement persists.“We were shocked to read reports that the national working committee of the All Progressive Congress has come up with a zoning template and even went further to rub salt on injury by attaching names to the positions of principal officers – senate president, deputy senate president, speaker, deputy speaker and all other offices of the national assembly,” the statement said.
