10th Assembly: NDF faults APC’s choice of Akpabio, Abbas

Tamarauemi Ebimini

The National Democratic Front (NDF) has criticised the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over its choice of Senator Godswill Akpabio and Abbas Tajudeen for the positions of Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly.

In a statement signed by the convener, Sani Gwandu, the NDF said the party’s zoning template was “the most grievous injustice to the people of the North Central who were being taken for granted in the political equation of the country.”

He said the election of presiding officers of the National Assembly was the exclusive business of the legislators-elect and not the party.

While noting that consensus required discussion by stakeholders and wide consultations, Gwandu added that the most critical elements of competence, capacity and acceptability were ignored by the ruling party which had again marginalised some regions.
