N’Assembly crisis: Tambuwal peace moves crumble!!!

The peace committee chaired by Sokoto State Governor, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, appeared to have failed to resolve the leadership tussle in the caucus of the All Progressives Congress at the House of Representatives.
The indication of this came on Wednesday as the leadership of the House on Wednesday dismissed as “nothing like party position” an earlier letter the APC wrote to the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, on the zoning of principal offices.
After the Tambuwal committee met with the group led by Dogara, and that of a former Minority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, the issue at the centre of the crisis – the sharing of four principal offices – remained unresolved.
Findings showed that the Gbajabimaila group, at its meeting with Tambuwal, had restated its stance that the decision of the APC on the allocation of the offices must stand.
The party had written to the Speaker that the South-West should produce the Majority Leader; North-West, Deputy Leader; North-East, Chief Whip; and South-South, Deputy Whip.
However, the North-East and the South-South later swapped their positions, but still said they remained loyal to the APC.
An offer to Gbajabiamila to head the AdHoc Committee on Constitution Review in place of being the majority leader of the 8th Assembly, was also reportedly turned down by the former minority leader.
The PUNCHhad earlier reported that the Dogara group too had maintained its stance that federal character and zonal balancing must be reflected in the sharing of the positions “in such a way that no zone of the country” would be left out.
“It was this same position that they presented before the Tambuwal committee last night”, a National Assembly official told our correspondent on Wednesday.
However, the spokesman for the Dogara group, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Wednesday said that at the meeting with Tambuwal, the group agreed to concede the House leader to the Gbajabiamila group “provided that neither the South-West nor the North-East” would take the position.
Jibrin added that, in the event the Gbajabiamila group did not accept the “concession”, all the APC caucuses in the House would go for an election to decide who would become the majority leader.
Jibrin also said similar elections would be conducted to fill the three other positions in line with the provisions of the relevant rules of the House.

Sentiment has always been one of our problems in Nigeria. As much as I don’t cherish the so-called party position, it is equally wrong for Dogara group to start looking at zoning which they had earlier objected to. I think this crisis has been targeted at persons rather than national benefit.
