Ahead of the inauguration of the 10th Senate on Tuesday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators-elect to abide by the zoning of leadership positions announced by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.<\/p>\n

Tinubu made the call at a meeting with APC Senators-Elect on Wednesday night in Abuja, according to a statement by the Akpabio\/Jibrin Media Team.<\/p>\n

The APC last month zoned the position of Senate President to the South-South with Senator Godswill Akpabio as the preferred candidate and Senator Jubrin Barau from North West preferred as deputy Senate President.<\/p>\n

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 line of the party\u2019s zoning arrangement in electing their Presiding Officers stressing \u201cthis is the right thing to do in support of the Renewed Hope agenda\u201d of his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point of our history and challenges facing us as a new administration, all hands must be on deck to salvage the unpalatable situation facing the nation. We must see the situation as a pan-Nigerian Project for the Executive and the Legislature to work out solutions to the challenges of the nation,\u201d he told the Senators-elect.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said: \u201cThe task ahead to finding solutions to the myriads of national problems cannot come from the Executive arm of government alone but by the working together of the Executive and the Legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Senators-elect should reach out and pass the appeal to other APC Senators-elect unavoidably absent to toe the party line and put a leash on all personal ambition in favour of party programme and national interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk to your colleagues that are not here to toe the party line and give the Renewed Hope agenda a chance to succeed. The elephant is big enough for all members and indeed Nigerians to have a share of the Renewed Hope in due course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the meeting, which lasted late into the night, Akpabio, once again, congratulated the President on the successful presidential inauguration.<\/p>\n

He said that since the party announced the zoning arrangements for the leadership of the National Assembly, majority of the party\u2019s Senators-elect, led by him and Senator Jibrin, have reached out to other APC Senators-elect and those from the opposition political parties with positive result and pledge of support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
