............reveals further decision

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has ruled out chances of Femi Gbajabiamila in becoming the next Speaker of the House of Representative as the party had excluded the Northwest and Southwest from the zoning of the Senate President and House Speaker as well as their deputies.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, said that all the geopolitical zones must be fairly represented both in the executive and legislative arms.

He said with President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo coming from the North-West and South-West respectively, “the party’s leadership should ensure that the zoning arrangement for the Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in the incoming 9th National Assembly reflects the remaining four geopolitical regions of the country.”

The APC Spokesperson warned that if the party does not get it right now, 2023 elections might turn out to be a free for all, with its attendant electoral consequences.

“The APC has elected National Assembly members from all geopolitical zones of the country.

“Hence, the party’s leadership and indeed the presidency must make deliberate efforts to provide a fair and justifiable zoning arrangement for the 9th National Assembly leadership.

“The zoning arrangement must also respect the fact that the North-west and South-west have already produced the President and Vice President respectively.

“So, for equity and adherence to the principle of federal character which is a constitutional requirement, the positions of Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in the incoming 9th National Assembly must be occupied by APC members from the remaining four geopolitical zones of the country,” he said.

According to the Bayelsa-born APC Chieftain, “the Party’s National Working Committee, NWC, under the leadership of the party National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has already zoned the Senate Presidency to the North-east.

“The Deputy Senate President should be zoned to the South-south while the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives should be zoned to the North-central and South-east in any order agreed by the party’s leadership.

“The South-west already has a slot filled by the Vice President. In any case, the South-west does not necessarily translate to Lagos or Ogun state. This is a sentiment widely shared by our members from the zone.

“As I earlier stated, the party’s leadership must take deliberate steps to provide a fair and justifiable zoning arrangement for the incoming 9th National Assembly leadership.

“Our actions and inactions will have serious implications on party unity and positively or negatively affect our standing ahead of 2023.”

Those who rode on the back of the tiger will end up in it's tummy

Another heavy blow landing on Tinubu chest.

Jagaban when dem dey use do Jaga Jaga, is that one a leader?

I said it before and I will say it again, the North do not like BAT, they only use him to fetch votes from the west.


Congrats to Idris Wase.

So?

i like gbaja sha

apc is bokoharam

Let wait and see

This man is on his own

Amazing clarification ;
After seizing Vice president position, Otunba Gbajabiamala ( south west) wants Speaker post

Useless request

Fair play.This is what was expected of a party that claimed to have national interest.That was why PDP stood out.Glad the APC are finally learning

NgeneUkwenu:
This man is on his own

Between the APC deputy publicity secretary and nairand BMC zombie we know who has more stake in APC

Gbaja go get stroke oh lol
Someone that has already organized orgy at His Oniru bachelor pad to celebrate hahahaha

Ikpu ocha

Stylishly scheming out the burdillion

Okay

Gbaja right now

By the time the north finishes with tinubu and SW......




You think they don't know your moves.

Incorrect headline. Nothing in that post state that APC has taken a position, they are just opinions of some members of National officers of APC.

hmmm

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......... The APC keeps acting like an opposition party, is there anything we're yet to know? ?

Ok

Ok o

This is not the party's decision.

Nabena was speaking on a personal note.

Fake news.

APC can't disobey Tinubu

I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED HE CONTESTED AND LOST.


THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PAINFUL TO TINUBU YORUBA MUSLIM SKULL.


WE WERE READY FOR THEM.

Tell me something

Umar Bago as the will take this speakership on behalf of NC

Hahaha. where jagaban go face now .lol

PaChukwudi44:

He was actually speaking on a personal note, not the position of the party.

But the fact that a member like him will come out to speak against the party's position means there's trouble in la la land and Gbaja might still lose it.

The APC in the North Central are making a very strong claim. And they are right in their assertion.

Small small dem done dey begin to trash tinubu

So oluremi tinubu can't be deputy senate presido again

Gbaja. Booted out


More funny scenario for them ahead

See our hated filled brothers from the East of Niger running up and down the thread shouting about how Tinubu has been landed a blow.

All of them don't want Femi as the Speaker. Now they are bringing up a new narrative about how Tinubu has been used and dumped just the same way called for the head of Kemi Adeosun. Once Kemi was sacked, they were the first shout tell the world about how the Yorubas were shortchanged.

Very funny people.

lol, see game
