The National Publicity Secretary
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Lanre Issa-Onilu, has said the ruling
party is working on a zoning arrangement for the leadership of the ninth
National Assembly.
This comes on the heels of
alleged plot to alienate the Southeast geopolitical zone in the scheme of
things within the leadership of the incoming federal legislature.
Speaking with reporters in Abuja
Sunday night, Issa-Onilu disclosed, “Our party will soon release the zoning
arrangements for the principal positions of the incoming 9th National Assembly.”
He added that the party will also
make its position clear in the coming days on the principal positions in the
House of Representatives.
The position of Speaker of the
House of Representatives is hotly contested by House Leader Femi Gbajabiamila
(APC, Lagos), Ahmed Idris Wase (APC, Plateau), and Abdulrazak Namdas (APC,
Adamawa).
Others are Mohammed Umar Bago
(APC, Niger), Babangida Ibrahim (APC, Katsina), Muktar Aliyu Betara (APC,
Borno) and Nkeiruka Onyeajocha (APC, Abia) as the top contenders from the six
geopolitical zones.
