Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi, a founding member of South West Agenda (SWAGA) reaffirms his support for the 10th Assembly zoning arrangement out in place by APC National Working Committee (NWC) .
This shall promote balance, equity and fairness required for necessary stability in our ethno-religious diverse country.
Between 1999 till date, the South East (SE) zone had their fair share of Senate Presidency with the following Senators on the seat:
(a) Sen Enwerem
(b) Sen.(Dr) Chuba Okadigbo
(c). Sen. Ken Nnamani
(d). Sen Pius Anyim
Whereas, the SS zone has never been opportuned during the time highlighted.
Now, analyzing How Each Zone voted for President Elect TINUBU, the 2023 Geopolitical Presidential election result are as detailed below:
NORTH WEST: 2,652,235
NORTH CENTRAL: 1,742,993
NORTH EAST : 1,185,458
SOUTH WEST : 2,279,407
SOUTH SOUTH : 799,957
SOUTH EAST : 127, 605
Clearly, the SS zone contributed much more significantly, when compared to SE zone.
The NWC should therefore continue consultation with party leaders and interested parties.
Without mincing words, the Peaceful take off of the 10th National Assembly will enhance the economic recovery plan of the incoming administration. We must therefore get this right.
