He said: “Well, you have heard from the party; you have heard from the leadership. My desire is not to rock the party. I am a disciplined party man and we will look at it critically.
“However, the nation is expecting us to take a decisive leadership decision. Merit would not be compromised. You have to be competent; you have to possess the character for the leadership.
“You have to be PAN Nigerian and be a very solid character to lead the National Assembly and that is what we are talking about,’’ he said.
According to Tinubu, the party had decided, in a meeting, that zoning would not be considered in choosing the leader because it could “compromise the credibility and of qualification of an individual.
“Let everybody aspire just like we aspired’’.
He said predictions were rife during the APC presidential primaries that the party would run into “chaotic storm.
“We put those people to shame and came up with the best. Expect the best from us always,” he said.
