National Assembly Leadership: Tinubu, Governors Dump Consensus For Zoning

-

 

The president-elect, Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, has admonished the All Progressives Congress governors to work with the party to avoid precipitating a leadership crisis in the National Assembly.

Tinubu asked the governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Hope Uzodimma (Imo) and others to work with the party leadership and lawmakers on the election of principal officers of the National Assembly.

The ex-Lagos State governor spoke on Thursday during a meeting with the Progressives Governors Forum members who visited him at the Defence House in Abuja, according to a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman.

Reports learnt that the President-elect agreed with the suggestion of the governors that consensus candidates should not be picked. Rather the positions should be zoned.

It was gathered that the meeting was part of Tinubu’s consultations with the APC stakeholders for the planned zoning of the positions.

He had earlier met with the party’s National Working Committee members and some aspirants.

The governors were led to the meeting by the Chairman of the PGF who also doubles as the governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu.

The President Elect surely would not want to betray the process that ushered him in as the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

Recall that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged his party ticket as Presidential flagbearer against the consensus decisions of his fellow aspirants. He stood his ground to the final to allow democratic decisions take charge and care of the party's decision.

Tinubu's consultation meetings with concerned stakeholders and acceptance of zoning of the National Assembly leadership is a sign of continuous uphold of democratic development of the party and the proposed Asiwaju's Presidential Administration.
