The Elephant Is Big Enough To Share – President Tinubu Tells Senators-Elect To Accept APC Zoning ArrangementTinubu made the appeal while addressing over 43 APC senators-elect led by Senator Akpabio at the Aso Rock Villa late Wednesday night, ahead of the June 13 inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.
Recall that the APC had zoned the President of the Senate to the South-South, with former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as the party’s preferred candidate and Senator Jibrin Barau from North-West as Deputy Senate President. Tinubu was quoted by Daily Post as saying that “At this point of our history and challenges facing us as a new administration, all hands must be on deck to salvage the unpalatable situation facing the nation.
According to him, the task ahead to finding solutions to the myriads of national problems cannot come from the executive arm of government alone, but from jointly working together of the executive and the legislature.
