Giving pies to every region of the nation, according to senator Orji Kalu, makes the nation beautiful.
APC disgruntled members met with APC National Working Committee (NWC) members on Thursday at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja in advance of the June 10th inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.
Senators Abdulaziz Yari, Orji Kalu, Mohammed Musa, and Sadiq Umar are present.
The meeting also included the APC Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, the National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore, and the National Women Leader, Beta Edu.
Candidate for Senate President Kalu said delivering pies to every region of the nation makes it lovely while speaking at the NWC. He stated that the party shouldn’t divide up the leadership of the upcoming National Assembly into zones based on how many votes each zone gave to President-Elect Bola Tinubu’s victory.
He contends that a region where the party received few votes in the previous election might do so again in the future.
Additionally, Yari requested the APC to examine the zoning formula approved just a few days ago as a matter of fairness and equity as she handed the APC chairman the protest letter from the resentful Senators-elect.
The 10th National Assembly’s leadership was zoned by the APC NWC on Monday.
Senator Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), the Senate President, was assigned to the South-South by the party organ, and Senator Barau Jibrin (Kano), the Deputy Senate President, was designated to the North-West.
Abass Tajudeen, the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the North-West (Kaduna), and Ben Kalu, the Speaker for the South-East (Abia), are the other members.
On Tuesday’s episode of Politics Today on Channels Television, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka said that the South-South region, which Akpabio represents, has not produced a Senate President since the start of the Fourth Republic in 1999.
Numerous senior APC members have voiced their opposition to the party’s zoning formula, including Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, who called it “an unworkable and skewed arrangement that reinforces injustice.”
