The election of next Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker will be predicated on zoning and other three-interwoven factors, it was learnt yesterday.
The three factors, which are likely to influence zoning, are religion, voting pattern and political base of aspirants, a party source said.
The source, a highly placed member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC), said the party had delayed its meeting due to the absence of President-elect Bola Tinubu.
Yesterday, Tinubu returned to the country after a 34-day vacation in France, following his victory at the February 25 poll.
Also, the APC national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who is abroad, is expected back soon.
The source said the party’s national leadership will fashion out the zoning formula, adding that its prescription will be final and binding on the aspirants.
