Senate presidency: Yari, Kalu threaten revolt over zoning - Punch Newspapers

“Mr. Chairman, we are not undermining what you are doing. We are doing this for the sake of the party to grow. If we from the North take another decision, it will not be good. It will become history and we don’t want that to happen. Anything from the contrary, Walahi, northern Nigeria will take another decision.”

He warned that it would be wrong for anybody to fault his people in the South East for not coming to the party during the presidential election for obvious reasons. According to him, if the current micro-zoning arrangement is not reviewed, they would be forced to disobey the ruling party position ahead of the inauguration.

“We are going to challenge and say no to it. I am a party man. I have never disobeyed this party. This is the first time we are going to say no to the directive of the party. We are going to say that we are not going to do this on the floor of the Senate. This is unacceptable to us. I will not want to do it and I will not want to disrespect the party. It is still early enough with about 18 to 19 days to resolve it.
