Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has described as “unacceptable’ the zoning formula for the yet-to-be-inaugurated 10th National Assembly by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking via his Twitter handle on Wednesday, Akeredolu said “it stands logic on the head that one geo-political zone, Northwest in this regard, will be favoured with two presiding officers positions out of four while North Central suffers the consequences for its innocence and shrewd loyalty by having none.
According to him, “It is an insidious permutation that North East will be deprived in the face of the unsavoury generosity dispensed through two slots to a particular geo-political zone. It is self-repudiating for one to argue, therefore, that the Speaker of the House of Representatives cannot also emerge from the North East.”
He further described the zoning formula as “an unworkable arrangement that reinforces injustice and enhances inequity; and I join them in rejecting this zoning formula.”
