July 07, (THEWILL) – Members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the National Assembly have endorsed the recent resolutions of the Southern governors.
THEWILL reports that the governors had met in Lagos on Monday and demanded among others, the inclusion of the electronic transfer of results in the 2010 Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2021 and the inclusion of state police in the ongoing 1999 Constitution review.
The governors, who rejected the 3 percent oil equity share for host communities, also resolved that the 2023 presidency be zoned to the South.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, the PDP Senators led by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, commended the governors for the courage they displayed in taking their bold steps notwithstanding their political party differences.
The opposition lawmakers also pledged to remain actively committed in their legislative activities to ensuring that all the demands of the governors were met in the various legislations pending before the National Assembly.
