The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday held a meeting behind closed-doors at the Defence House, Abuja.
Others who were in the meeting are the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and the Secretary of the dissolved Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke.
Though the agenda of the meeting was withheld from curious journalists, there are strong indications that the issue of zoning of the 10th National Assembly principal offices were discussed.
The APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore maintained sealed lips, while Senator Adamu only told journalists that the meeting was a routine exercise.
The meeting took place barely 48 hours after the President-elect returned from Europe, having travelled out after his declaration as winner of the 2023 Presidential election.
Meanwhile, in the National Assembly, Senators and members-elect lobbying for various offices in the 10th NASS have been kept in suspense awaiting the pronouncement on zoning of principal offices by the ruling party.
The waiting game has heightened anxiety, but lobbyists were undeterred as they could be seen churning out press releases in print and online news outlets canvassing for support on a daily basis.
Banners of themselves with the President-elect were hung in strategic locations all over the NASS complex with promises of allegiance to Tinubu’s government.
Tinubu’s return on Monday, Media Talk Africa observed, further increased anxiety among lawmakers seeking offices in the upper and lower legislative chambers.
