The group stated that it took the new position against the earlier position where it backed the zoning of the leadership positions to the South-east region.
In a statement issued at the end of a meeting in Umuahia, jointly signed by the president Ifeanyi Nwaudunna and the publicity secretary, Magnus Abara, the group said it was out to support the position of the party.
The group said that the choice of Lawan and Okafor as leaders at the National Assembly would stabilise the polity and unite the country for development.
According to the statement, “the country will make progress if the presidency and the national assembly forged closer relations in developing policies for the development of the country”.
The earlier demand that the positions of both the Senate president and deputy be zoned to the South-east was retracted but call for party leaders to close ranks on the issue.
The group called on senators and members of the House of Representatives especially those of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to validate the party’s endorsement of Lawan and Okafor for credible representative, equity and fairness.
It described the pair of Lawan and Okafor as true party men who would leave no stone unturned in promoting the ideology of the ruling party.
