As the inauguration of federal parliamentarians approaches, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leadership is allegedly perplexed about the zoning of the 10th National Assembly’s major officials.
According to information obtained, Adamu Abdullahi’s absence from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has caused disarray inside the ruling APC.
This, according to a source close to the APC NWC, has prevented the 10th National Assembly’s major officers from being zoned.

Before the NASS’s June inauguration, elect Senators and members of the House of Representatives from every geopolitical zone have expressed interest in running for Senate President or Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.
According to the source, the party’s leadership’s inability to convene and settle the zoning formula had led to the multiple interests of several elected legislators on the party platform across the nation.
The delay in addressing the zoning arrangements was caused, according to a member of the NWC, by Senator Iyiola Omisore’s absence as chairman and secretary.
The source said: “Zoning of the leadership of the principal officers of the National Assembly is a sensitive issue that requires the involvement and input of the NWC. But as worrisome as it may sound, there has not been a properly convened meeting of the NWC since the conclusion of the presidential election on February 25.

“It is really a thing of concern because there is no solution at sight since both the chairman and secretary are currently not around to convene the meeting where decision concerning the zoning of the principal officers of the 10th National Assembly will be discussed and resolved. Everything is at a standstill for now. We are being reduced to spectators on a sensitive issue in which we are supposed to play a critical role. It is not surprising seeing all manners of legislators jostling for the position without recourse to the input of the national leadership of our party.”
