The zoning of the speaker and Deputy Senate President, according to sources is expected to be resolved today or possibly tomorrow by the party hierarchy.

The party NWC had reportedly favoured the Southwest Zone for the office of speaker a decision that subsequently generated controversy as leaders from the Northeast were believed to have also claimed the position besides the office of Deputy Senate President that was reportedly also zoned to the zone.

However, gladiators within the Northeast were yesterday reported to be canvassing the allocation of the DSP position to the Bauchi/Gombe axis in the region given the claim that other states in the region had been satisfied with other positions.

According to sources, the APC has conceded the Chairman of the Board of Trustees to Adamawa/Taraba axis, Deputy Senate President to Bauchi/Gombe axis and House Leader to Borno/Yobe axis of the northeast zone.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar according to sources is to be chairman of the BoT of the party putting Adamawa/Taraba axis out of contention in the race for DSP.
