The enlarged National Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has ratified the zoning formula of the party, signalling the possible re-emergence of Senator David Mark as Senate President while Hon. Muraina Ajibola (PDP, Oyo) is set to emerge as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. With this development, the South-East geo-political zone has lost its bid for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The party has also set machinery in motion for the emergence of a new national chairman of the party from the North-East zone in March 2012. These were some of the key decisions taken late Tuesday night by the Caucus at its emergency meeting held in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Impeccable sources at the meeting told National Mirror that the Caucus adopted wholesale the zoning formula presented to it by the National Working Committee.
The arrangement zoned the President of the Senate to the North-Central, the Speaker of the House of Representative to the South-West, the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF) to the South- East and the National Chairman of the party to the North-East zone. The South-East is also to produce the Deputy Senate President. Already, the President has gone to the South- South zone while the North-West got the position of the Vice-President. With this development, the coast appears clear for Senate President David Mark to retain his position while Ajibola is set to emerge as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
