All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has appealed to the national leadership of the party to retain the zoning arrangement, which zoned the position of the Senate president to the North-Central.

This formed part of the resolutions of the APC's state working committee at the end of its meeting in Ilorin yesterday.

The party, which also organized a special prayer for the actualization of the aspiration of Dr. Bukola Saraki to become the Senate president in the eighth Senate, insisted that the position of the Senate president should remain in the North-Central in the interest of fairness, justice and equity.

The special prayer, which was held at the party's secretariat in Ilorin, was led by Ustaz Usman Basambo Jabata, who prayed Allah to make it possible for Saraki to become the next Senate president because of his devotion to the development of Kwara State and kindness to the masses.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting of its central working committee, the APC noted that the party recorded 100 percent victory in the just concluded general elections in the zone and therefore, deserved the position of the Senate president which the national working committee of the party had allotted to it.

The CWC expressed its gratitude to members of the National Working Committee of the party (NWC) for deeming it fit to zone the position to the North-Central zone.

"The NWC members, we believe took this wise and popular decision in recognition of our zone's contributions to the development of our party in all the states of the North-Central zone.

"We want to assure the national leadership of our party of our continued support for the party's programmes and activities.
