NASS leadership: Northern youths blow hot, reveal why Tinubu wants Gbajabiamila as Speaker
Progressives Congress, APC, as an insult on the north and an affront on the principle of federal character as enshrined in the Constitution of Nigeria.
The statement was signed by the NYM Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, where the group insisted the north will resist Oshiomhole and Tinubu’s attempt to zone the House of Representatives Speaker to the Southwest, which already has the Vice President. The group disclosed that President Buhari even had to openly reprimand Oshiomhole for discussing what he described as unnecessary details that were not know to him and that his understanding was that all zones should meet and discuss zoning.
“Our understanding of the federal character formula is that with six positions of President, Vice President, Senate President and Deputy as well as Reps Speaker and Deputy available, the six geopolitical zones must get one position each.
