Elder statesmen and leading traditional rulers from the North and the South West have intervened to douse tensions over the race for leadership of the 10th National Assembly.
The elders, it was gathered, weighed in to stem the tide of bad blood growing among the legislators and polarisation of the country on ethnic and religious lines.
The unfolding tussle for leadership of the 10th Assembly has pitched loyalists of President Muhammadu Buhari against those of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, creating a crack within the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This followed the recent contentious micro zoning of the senate president to the South-South, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
