I will step down if APC zones speakership to South East – Hon. Bago
Bago, a third-time representative from Chanchanga federal constituency of Niger State, alluded that the South East and the North Central were the greatest casualties of the zoning formula of the All Progressive Congress .The decision did not go down well with stakeholders from North Central, who feel greatly marginalized in the new arrangement.
“If the party has come out to say we are zoning speakership to the South East, honestly I will have just gone to contest for deputy speaker if I want to,” he said. “We have even produced more than the zone that has produced a vice president and look at the logic if you have taken senate presidency from North Central and speakership from North East who had it in the 8th Assembly, under normal circumstances you should be considering North Central.
The ranking lawmaker said the North Central had put so much on the table and cannot afford be overran.
