APC stakeholders want Senate President, Deputy zoned to South-South, North West

As the All Progressives Congress is yet to make it’s zoning arrangements known with regards to the 10th National Assembly, some concerned APC members have asked the party to look the direction of the south-south for the Senate President.

At a news briefing in Abuja, the group urged the APC National Working Committee and the Progressives Governors Forum to consider zoning of President of the Senate and Deputy Senate President to the South-South and North West respectively.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Okpokwu Ogenyi, said both zones contributed massive votes to the victory of the governing party in the February election and should be adequately rewarded.

They maintained that the duo of Godswill Akpabio, ( Akwa-Ibom North West) and Barau Jibrin, ( Kano North) are competent ranking Senators from both zones and should be considered for the seats.
