Political Statement
- Gentlemen of the press, It is my pleasure to address you on this all-important matter of our party’s forthcoming NEC meeting.
- As you may be aware, the leader of our party, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a National Executive Council meeting of our party for next month.
- We commend the president for finally initiating the meeting which we believe is long over due. There are many outstanding issues in party that are of utmost priority to our zone and our position on it is well documented.
- In setting agenda for the NEC meeting therefore, we are appealing to Mr. President to use his good office to resolve the issues regarding the zoning of party’s chairmanship back to the North Central zone where the seat originally belongs.
- The North Central Zone as a collective is the party’s strongest zone politically today. Five out of the six states in the zone are controlled by the party. This is a National high by percentage.
- We urge Mr. President to consolidate this acceptance of our party in the zone by rewarding the hardwork of our party members in the zone. But more importantly, by ensuring that the Chairmanship of the party zoned back to the North Central, ensure that the yearlong injustice to the zone is righted.
- Since the last reorganisation of the party, all the zones where positions where adequately replaced except for the North Central that has still been left in the cold. We want to also take our seat in the comity of our peers.
- Thank you for listening and May God bless Nigeria.
