The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has announced zoning for the leadership positions in the impending 10th National Assembly ahead of its inauguration in June.
In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja and endorsed by National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, the APC also micro-zoned the leadership positions to individuals in the regions.
While the Senate Presidency was zoned to South-South (Godswill Akpabio – Akwa-Ibom), the Deputy Senate Presidency slot was zoned to North-West (Barau Jubrin – Kano).
Similarly, the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives was zoned to North-West (Abbas Tajudeen – Kaduna), while the Deputy Speaker was zoned to South-East (Benjamin Kalu – Abia).
The APC called on party leaders, members and all Nigerians to continue to work for peace and progress of the country, during and beyond the current period of leadership transition.
