Consequently, six of the aggrieved aspirants, now christened G-6, had threatened to revolt by disobeying the party position if the zoning formula is not reviewed.
“We note the observation that the national chairman of our great party is from the North Central zone and with the appointment of Senator George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, that the North Central has been compensated. But we say no to these assertions as they do not respect the principle of separation of power in a democracy.
Continuing, the North-Central grassroots politician, explained that parliament is a key component in any democratic structure that determines the speed with which an administration can succeed in its quest to deliver dividends of democracy to the people. This was even as he praised the G-6 aspirants for standing their ground and insists on allowing the legislators to decide their leadership.
“As the G-6 is consulting and deliberating on who to rally round and support for the speaker position among themselves, we call on them to consider North Central for Equity, Justice and Fairness.
