President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators-elect to abide by the zoning arrangements announced by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party ahead of the inauguration of the 10th Senate on 13th June, 2023.

The APC had endorsed Senator Godswill Akpabio from South-South for President of the Senate and Senator Jibrin Barau from North-West for Deputy Senate President.

However, some lawmakers of the ruling party had expressed their opposition to the proposed zoning formula and vowed to pursue their own ambitions to contest the various positions for which the party had already made choices.

Addressing over 40 APC Senators-elect led by Senator Akpabio at the Aso Rock Villa Wednesday night, President Tinubu appealed to all APC Senators-elect to toe the lines of the party’s zoning arrangement in electing their Presiding Officers.

The president, according to a statement from Akpabio Media Team, stressed that, “this is the right thing to do in support of the Renewed Hope agenda” of his administration.
