Today, governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are set to meet and discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding leadership allocation in the National Assembly.
The issue has caused anxiety among APC governors, with some lobbying to maintain the party’s original zoning plan.
However, the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has criticized the plan as inequitable and unworkable.
The initial allocation plan included positions for individuals from different regions, but some party stakeholders are advocating for its retention.
Meanwhile, new proposals have been extended to aspirants for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives, encouraging them to accept the deputy speaker role.
The frustrated candidates, known as the G-6, include Deputy Speaker Hon. Ahmed Wase and others.
Opposition lawmakers, particularly from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are evaluating their chances of presenting a “surprise nomination,” depending on how the APC resolves the zoning arrangements and whether it can bring all stakeholders onboard.
