Ngige brings to public notice APC’s rotation agreement
Senator Chris Ngige, the Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Employment, has brought to public notice, what they agreed in APC in terms of political office zoning.
Ngige, while speaking with ThisDay, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has a gentleman agreement on rotational presidency and made it clear that the decision was taken to ensure the stability of the country.
However, he also added that it was not written into the APC’s constitution.
According to him, “It is not written in our constitution. But it will make for stability and fairness if it rotates back to the South. I was in PDP, we practiced it.

“I was one of the wise men that drafted the APC constitution with Chief Segun Osoba as head. That’s what we agreed on; that we don’t have to insert it but these are things that could be done by gentleman agreement.
“Whether there should be rotation, zoning or not for me is a simple matter. It is a gentleman agreement. Even the American constitution doesn’t have everything written in it,”.
