Tinubu, APC NWC meet, favour Akpabio as Senate President, Tajudeen as Speaker

---

President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Friday met with the leadership of the
National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as consultation continue on the zoning of the leadership position of the 10th National Assembly.

DAILY POST gathered that the meeting which had in attendance the NationalChairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari, Deputy National Chairman, South, Emma Eneukwu and the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore took place at the Defence House in Abuja.

A reliable source who preferred anonymity said during the meeting that lasted for about 1hr 30mins, Tinubu told leaders of the party of his preference for Akpabio as the 10th Senate President while Senator Jibrin Barau will serve as his deputy.

Also, the meeting reached a compromise on the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, with Abbas Tajudeen giving the nod to preside over the 10th House.

The source said: “It is true Asiwaju met with Adamu, Omisore, Kyari and Eneukwu today (Friday).

They have agreed that Akpabio will be the next Senate President while Jibrin will be his deputy. TJ (Abbas Tajudeen) will be the next Speaker.)”

The source added that the North Central would be compensated with the position of Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

Recall that Adamu had hinted on Wednesday at the end of the NWC meeting that the ruling party alongside the president-elect would agree on a consensus in the zoning of the leadership positions of the next Assembly.

“That is not what today’s meeting is all about.

When we do the zoning meeting, we don’t just go alone as a party.

Zoning is to take along the person who has the mandate of this country, the president-elect, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, we want to take him along.

He travelled after the election and he came back only last week and we have to carry him along.

“And we cannot stop those who are ambitious or zoning interests, or individual interests, we cannot deny them.

And as long as that is there, we have to find a way, persuasively, to reach some level of consensus.

That’s what we are working on. It is not a one-day affair,” Adamu had said.

This is to show how Tinubu's Leadership will be bias to SE.
Anyways, I'm so happy that no SE person has been appointed for any office under tinubu.
Let him keep appointing his people and the Northerners so that when they crumble Nigeria finish,No one will blame the igbos

APC favors the south better than any other party

Yes ma man

Wow. I trust Jagaban good of him

I think the President-elect may be rewarding Senator Akpabio for his commitment to his Presidential bid.

Remember that Akpabio was the first of all the APC Presidential Candidates to step down for Tinubu on the night of the APC Primaries.

After he did, previous speakers like Dimeji Bankole and others, who hadn't previously stepped down during their address to the electorate, returned to the rostrum to announce that they were similarly stepping down.

I remember the panache with which he announced that he and his '1200 delegate votes for his uncommon transformation' or something in that line, would be 'collapsing their structures for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu' to raptorous applause from the delegates.

He deserves this one. We all hope their reign brings uncommon transformation to Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom Ayaya!


This piece is dedicated to my best buddie, Gabbie Akanieyene and my god-daughter, his daughter, Uya Imai, of Ibiono in Akwa Ibom State.

I used to think that elected members decide their leaders by voting?

This is not about Nigerian politics.

Trump, and even Obama pushed their own candidate for leadership of the Senate and House of rep.

This is why Nigeria will not get head . Every bill will be on yes sir , yes sir.

Very good. Very fair.

Tinubu should tamper mercy in justice for perter obi and fix him in one position because the man will remain stranded for good 4 years.

Why have everyone suddenly forgotten about our mandate and moved on?

It's not fair, obident lives matters

One of the most important factors in choosing him is religion.

Igbos no follow for this country , ah swear , I blame them sha

There is something called lobbying in politics. Read about it.

Hmmmm don’t trust any Igbo man but ….

But there’s honor among THIEVES!
