…as 55 Reps-elect of the entire south south endorse Abass
The major reason and circumstances surrounding why Hon Aliyu Betara dumped his speakership ambition has emerged.
TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports Betara after an exhaustive consultation with critical stakeholders in his geo-political zone and key political acolytes finally decided to abide by the position of APC.
Before now according to sources close to the Borno born lawmaker there was immense pressure on him to allow APC anointed candidates sail through.
One of the sources told TNG under the condition of anonymity that: Betara as at yesterday (Saturday) was invited to Aso Rock for further consultations and as a loyal party man he obliged without complaints.
This is just as 55 Reps-elect in the entire south south zone late Sunday night endorsed Abass.
“Even immediately the president won the election, he invited him to France where he equally persuaded him not to overlook the position of the party.
“He still came back home and held further consultations on the way forward and considered reviewing the zoning arrangements.
“The man loves his party he can’t be one of those rocking the boat of a new government.
Another close source revealed that”Betara has towed the right direction and very soon others will step down as there’s the possibility of a consensus candidate emerging is already unfolding.
In a related development late Sunday night, 55 Reps-elect of the entire south south endorsed the Abass/Kalu ticket.
The coast is beginning to be cleared for an Abass to emerge on Tuesday as Betara who is firmly rooted in the House politics has joined the winning team.
