The North Central Caucus of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC in the House of Representatives has called on the National Working Committee NWC of the ruling party to push to the zone the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives in the upcoming 9th National Assembly.
The Caucus made up of lawmakers from Benue Nasarawa, Taraba, Kwara, Kogi and Niger states at a press briefing at the House Press Corps on Tuesday called for equity in the zoning of principal officers of the National Assembly by the ruling party.
Leader of the group Hon.Dr.John Dyegh who addressed journalists alongside other APC lawmakers said that they appeal to APC leadership to strongly consider the North Central geo-political zone for the position of Speakership of the House of Representatives in the 9th National Assembly.
He added that zoning the position of speaker to the North Central will satisfy and advance the cause of equity since the North-West and and South-west already have the presidency respectively.
He further hinted that apart from the North-west and North East, the North Central zone delivered handsomely for the party in the general elections and as such needs to be rewarded for the hard work and loyalty.
He said: “the need to ensure balance and spread between and among the six geopolitical zones has made it imperative to give prime consideration to the North Central zone to produce the position of speaker. Being the zone with delicate and peculiar location and challenges within the federation, it is of utmost importance to carry us along in the hierarchy of power distribution in the country as this will in no small measure help in stabilizing the polity.
” It is no coincidence that the Nigerian Constitution enshrines federal character in the distribution of offices and leadership positions in the country. Section 14 ( 4) of the grundnum speaks eloquently to this fact. The North Central geopolitical zone would feel a sense of belonging if it is allowed to produce the Speaker in the next assembly”.
The lawmakers said that the call for the North Central zone to produce the next speaker of the House is an appeal to the sense of justice, fairness and equity on the ruling APC and would help the party to avoid pitfalls and engender harmony, peace, stability in the House of Representatives as partners in progress with the executive.
