May 16, 2023 10:45 PMhe does not believe President-elect Bola Tinubu is aware of the All Progressives Congress zoning arrangement for speaker and deputy.The APC had announced that Tajudeen Abbas, a lawmaker from Kaduna and Benjamin Kalu, a member from Abia, are the party’s preferred candidates for the position of speaker and deputy for the 10th house of representatives.
Gagdi said the party took the decision without due consultation with the aspirants and key stakeholders. “I know the principles of our President-elect whom I so much respect. Up till today, I don’t believe that what is happening the President-elect is aware of it or it is his idea.Gagdi said Tinubu only won one LGA in Kaduna during the presidential election and that he couldn’t have approved zoning speakership position to the state.He said the APC won more elective offices in the north-central than the north-west and should be rewarded.“I think it negates even the commitment of the President-elect.
