zoned the positions<\/a> of the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly to the South-south and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to North-west.<\/p>\nReacting to the NWC decision, Akeredolu, in a statement on Wednesday, said the zoning formula is an indication of the kind of challenges the president-elect may be confronted with when he’s eventually sworn in. <\/p>\n
He stated that the \u201cearly signs of steps aimed at attempts to cabin the hard-earned Presidency for our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, by a few individuals with eyes on \u2018Aso Rock Power Buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s statement was titled, \u2018Proposed APC zoning formula for NASS leadership positions is a skewed arrangement that reinforces injustice and enhances inequity\u201d.<\/p>\n
He noted that it was illogical to have two of the four principal officers of the national assembly from the north west while the north got nothing. <\/p>\n
The statement read, \u201cIt is trite to aver, that, it stands logic on the head that one geo-political zone, North-west in this regard, will be favoured with two presiding officers positions out of four while North-Central suffers the consequences for its innocence and shrewd loyalty by having none.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an insidious permutation that North-East will be deprived in the face of the unsavory generosity dispensed through two slots to a particular geo-political zone. It is self-repudiating for one to argue, therefore, that the Speaker of the House of Representatives cannot also emerge from the North-east.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, the move to zone the National Assembly leadership positions on the behest of interested personalities with perceived closeness to the President-elect as manifesting, lays the dangerous foundation of distrust, needless suspicion even as it structures nothing but a combination of booby traps. We must avoid all these.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet the North play a stronger, more robust and all-inclusive role in the emergence of the positions zoned to the region, especially the Speakership. Furthermore, it strikes a huge ingratitude that the role of the Progressive Governors Forum appears unimportant. As leaders of the party in their respective states, there cannot be a greater disservice to them that a consensus was yet to be reached when the NWC hurriedly released a dangerous tool for the opposition in the guise of a zoning formula. To me, even on this note, it\u2019s unacceptable.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it not also exude a serious discomfort that the aspirants to the speakership were not consulted, approached, and effectively engaged before the purported zoning formula? It does, and clearly so.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is in this regard that I salute the courage of the speakership aspirants for their show of solidarity, companionship, and applaudable love for the party in their rejection, resentment and objection to the brazenly teleguided zoning arrangement that is skewed and targeted against some zones and identified individuals. Their action is commendable just as they are urged to ensure they pursue this to a logical conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
The governor, who rejected the zoning formula, said the move was an unworkable arrangement that reinforces \u201cinjustice and enhances inequity\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call on the NWC of our great party to follow the path of purity and justice. It is perhaps expedient that Mr. President-elect interrogates this skewed arrangement and gives direction that reflects our collective commitment to equality and fairness.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this particular case, and for the purpose of avoiding a repeat of untoward situations, it is advised that the APC NWC immediately summons the National Executive Committee after robust National Caucus\/Stakeholders parley to agree on terms that would strengthen our great party,\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
