A forum of former members of the house of representatives from the north-central says the region deserves to produce the speaker of the 10th assembly.
The group said for the sake of “justice, equity and fairness”, the All Progressives Congress(APC) should zone the speakership position to the geopolitical zone.
In a communique read by Idris Yakubu, a member of the fourth assembly, on Sunday, the forum said if reports that suggest President-elect Bola Tinubu is backing the north-west for the position are accurate — then he must have been “misled”.
The forum said the north-central should be rewarded for its loyalty to the APC over the past eight years.
