APC zones Senate presidency to North-East, Speakership to South West



Following resolutions at the APC leadership meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, April 21; which mandated the party to come up with a more acceptable zoning formula, there are strong indications that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come up with a new zoning arrangement.

The new zoning structure, a copy of which was seen by our correspondent, takes cognisance of performance, integrity, legislative experience and ranking in considering candidates for National Assembly positions.

The new zoning formula cedes the Senate Presidency to the North-east while the Speaker goes to the South-west.


The position of Senate Leader went to the North-west while the deputy Senate President went to North-central.

Stakeholders privy to the new zoning formula from the North west and North east expressed delight with the new arrangement while some members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) who know of the new arrangement but not mandated to speak said: “the new zoning formula is with our leaders. We only await directives to make it public.”

Meanwhile, three lawmakers eyeing the Senate Presidency from the North central are yet to respond to journalists enquiries on the party’s new zoning arrangement.

The proposed zoning table is presented below:

I am most sympathetic towards Bukola Saraki who already tweeted about his chance of becoming the Senate President when the party had not really concluded the zoning or slating process

A case of jumping the gun

Then if this is true, I foresee David Mark riding back to be Senate President.

The APC NC will be split btween David Mark and whoever APC has in the NE

I see Tinubu who was backing Akume order his puppets to vote against the APC.

A northeast senate president will make Buhari inviscible and too powerful.

Tinubu will want to check Buhari's new political base.

Can you just keep your peace and not meddle into an affair you know zilch about

What make you think Tinubu will want to checkmate a President who respects him and who he also contributed a lot to enthrone

From the word GO.....Buhari and Tinubu have held each other in high esteem and mutual respect

Go ask Obasanjo about Yaradua and Goodluck how they schemed him out of their govts even though OBJ handpicked and supported them both to the presidency. Obasanjo was helpless because he had no single stake in the national assembly.

Come may 29 protocol will demand that Tinubu can not see Buhari whenever he desires.

Tinubu's controll of the house is not only to check buhari but also to remain actively relevant in a Buhari presidency acting as a go between buhari and the house

save us this story. Tony Anenih saw gej whenever he wished throughout gej's presidency. What protocol are you talking about? BUHARI will need the advice of his party men than that of members of his cabinet.

there are people protocols are breached for. What happened under yaradua was a move to break himself from obj. But, BUHARI is a naturally grateful person. He knows what Tinubu's style of godfatherism has done in the southwest and, won't wan to turn his back on him in that quick succession. We all know Tinubu is a better person than obj. You can see why yaradua subjected obj to protocols and Tinubu might have them breached for him.

APC adviced that we disregard any story in the name of zoning arrangements , as that has been put to rest right now. I shall wait to hear from them again and see which zone gets what. Bukola Saraki and gbaja are my men in this case.



I can't wait to see David Mark as an ordinary senator.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 24, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this post gave me cancer anyway.
