National Coordinator, Nigeria Democrat and Equity Mandate Vanguard, a pan-Nigeria mandate group, Mallam Inusa Gaidam, has appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to consider zoning the speakership of the House of Representatives to the South-South geo-political zone.

The group is also backing Pally Iriase for the House of Representatives’ speakership, saying this will give a sense of belonging and balance to the nation’s polity.

At its national working committee/stakeholder conference in Abuja to X-ray the victory of APC and the need for national equity in allotment of positions, the group’s Director of Media Publicity and Social Communication, Mr Oarhe Dickson, said the group, a non-partisan one, decided to back Pally Iriase for Speaker of House of Reps “To promote equity in the polity where all zones across the country will feel that they are being carried along.”

NewNigeriaMind:


don't if the north keeps the remaining position or what is this thing saying.

Is it not your people begging the north to use them to spite the SW.

Don't worry the speaker is coming to the SW, hope that makes you happy

I never knew Yorubas reason like this. I honestly hope not all of them think the way I see them exhibit on nl.
They don't give a damn about any other southerner.

Apparently Hausas are more concerned about carrying others along.smh

Thanks to this election really
