Speakership: Benue, Plateau members-elect endorse Dyegh vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
This came as Chairman House committee on Maritime, Umar Bago,APC, Chanchaga, Niger State, formally joined the race for the speakership of the House of Representatives.
According to him, “As a representative from the North Central and by extension from Niger State it will be very fair for the party to zone the position of speakership to the north central as we remain committed Progressives desirous of political growth of our great party.” The lawmaker who won his re-election to the 9th National Assembly, promised to lead the House for optimal legislative impact in all ramifications, saying “If given the opportunity, the leadership will derive its strength from an unprecedented inclusivity as the guiding principle even with me as “primus inters pares”. I am a committed and loyal party member ready to lead the ninth Assembly House of Representatives having been in the house since 2007.
The members-elect who revealed this at the weekend when they were hosted to a social gathering by Dyegh in his residence in Abuja, argued that since the position of senate president had been taken to the north-east, the north central, which gave the third highest number of votes in the presidential election should be compensated with speaker.
