The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Wase, has said governors from the North-Central geopolitical zone did not reject the All Progressives Congress zoning arrangements for the 10th leadership positions as published in the media which was contrary to the statement he released yesterday.
Wase, who doubles as the Chairman North-Central Caucus of the National Assembly, explained in an interview with journalists in Abuja that the governors at the meeting only made a strong case for the North-Central in the allocation of the National Assembly’s leadership positions.
He added that the governors, being party leaders from the region, cannot adopt a confrontational posture against the party’s position. He explained that the meeting of the governors on Monday reviewed the proposed zoning structure released, and promised to reach out to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and APC National Working Committee.
The meeting, he added, discussed the zoning and raised reservations about the allocation of the positions of the Deputy Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the 10th National Assembly to a particular geopolitical zone of the country.
