President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Senators-elect on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to accept the party’s 10th National Assembly leadership zoning arrangements, adding that the “elephant is big enough for all members to have a share.”
Tinubu made the appeal while addressing over 43 APC senators-elect led by Senator Akpabio at the Aso Rock Villa late Wednesday night, ahead of the June 13 inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.
Recall that the APC had zoned the President of the Senate to the South-South, with former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as the party’s preferred candidate and Senator Jibrin Barau from North-West as Deputy Senate President.
Tinubu passionately appealed to the senators-elect to toe the lines of the party’s zoning arrangement in electing their presiding officers as he stressed that it was the right thing to do in support of the Renewed Hope agenda of his administration.
