Barring unforeseen circumstances, the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, will today return from his trip to Europe and is expected to meet with the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress regarding the constitution of the leadership of the 10th National Assembly.
Tinubu has travelled to Europe since March 21 and Iwitnesslive reported on Sunday that the former Governor of Lagos State would be returning on Monday (today).
The report was later corroborated by James Faleke, the Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council who tweeted that Tinubu alongside his wife, Senator Remi Tinubu, would land “by 2 pm at the presidential wing of the International Airport.”
“My dear brothers and sisters of this unique family, I wish to inform and request of us all that anyone in Abuja and Nasarawa is invited to join in receiving our people’s President-elect and First Lady tomorrow by 2 pm at the Presidential wing of the International Airport.
“Departure Time:2pm; departure venue: The Campaign Office; Accreditation time: 12 pm. Buses will be provided. Only Accredited persons will be allowed at the airport for security reasons,” Faleke’s tweet read.
However, the president-elect will get down to business immediately after he returns as the lingering issue of the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives has taken the front burner.
In a bid to forestall the recurrence of the rebellion that happened in 2015, the APC is planning to zone key National Assembly positions and the party has been waiting on Tinubu’s input before the final resolution will be announced.
“He will meet with the APC NWC this week and by next week the resolution on zoning will be announced as the party is expected to also dialogue with all the aspirants for both the Senate President and House of Reps Speaker. We expect that the process will be without many hiccups,” a source within the party said.
