Senate Presidency: APC Zones Out Lawan, Akpabio Others by Oluwabash(m): 1:31pm On Mar 16, 2023 |
Senate Presidency: APC Zones Out Lawan, Akpabio Others After weeks of tension and uncertainty, the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday released lists of principal officers of the 10th National Assembly, where the aspirations of the Senate President, Dr. Ahmed Lawan, Godswill Akpabio and others were dashed with outright zoning of the position to Southeast region. This zoning has finally laid to rest the general controversy surrounding who becomes the next President of the Senate and other Principal Officers of the 10th National Assembly. The party said this move was in line to strictly narrow contestants to the position of Senate President and other positions to embrace the zoning formula in order to swap offices held between the six geo-political zones in the country. In essence, the Southeast will produce the next President of the Senate, North West, Deputy Senate President, Southsouth, Senate Majority Leader, Southwest, Senate Majority Chief Whip, North Central, Speaker, House of Representatives, Southwest, Deputy Speaker, North East, House Majority Leader and Southsouth, House Majority Whip. However, party sources claimed that the South-East was the target of the agreement, adding that top hierarchy of the APC may have agreed on a power-sharing arrangement ahead of the inception of the 10th National Assembly by June 2023. This was as the party instructed that all its Senators-elect, and Members-elect must come on the same page, having put behind them events of the recent past, which threatened the party to its roots. The February 25, 2023, President and National Assembly elections had a total of seven political parties contested for Senatorial seats with APC topping the list with 57 seats. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 29 seats; Labour Party six; New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) two; Social Democratic Party (SDP) also two; the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Young Peoples Party (YPP) won one seat each. As the tradition spelled on every four years transition programme, the President-elect taking oath of office on May 29, 2023, he will by early June, transmit a proclamation letter to the National Assembly to terminate the Ninth Assembly and kick-start the 10th Assembly. Right on the list of contestants for Chairman of the 10th National Assembly are, Senators Orji Uzor, Kalu, (Abia) , Barau Jubril, (Kano), Sani Musa (Niger), Osita Izunaso, (Imo), Godswill Akpabio, (Akwa Ibom) among others. |

Lawan is handing over to Orji Kalu his old pal and Tinubu's right man, as the next Senate President. But APC are afraid that in the event Peter Obi wins in court and Orji Kalu being the Senate President, it will be a political suicide as both the President and Senate President are from the same region. 1 Like |
