The Buhari Youth Organisation,
BYO, in collaboration with Youth Support Groups in the North Central have
expressed their dissatisfaction with the zoning formula of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) regarding the leadership of the incoming 9th National Assembly.
Mr Dabit Joseph, the North
Central Coordinator of the group, made the disclosure at a news conference in
Keffi, Nasarawa State, on Friday, NAN reports.
Joseph said their displeasure was
particularly on the zoning of the leadership of the House of Representatives to
South West.
According to him, in view of the
voting contributions of the North Central zone to the success of the APC in the
last general elections, the zone deserves to produce the next Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
“Based on the contribution of
votes to the success of the APC in the recently concluded 2019 elections, the
North Central was rated third by voting percentage after North West and North
East.
“The North West has the President
and the Senate President has been zoned to North East, the next position which
is the Speaker of the House of Representatives should in all fairness be zoned
to the North Central Zone.
“The proposed zoning of the
Speaker of the House of Representatives to the South West which have the Vice
President of Nigeria who is not only from the same state but same Federal
Constituency negates the principle of equity, fairness and justice which the
APC stands for”.
Joseph, therefore, appealed to
the leadership of APC to see to their plight by reviewing the zoning
arrangement for the sake of carrying all the stakeholders along.
He, however, congratulated
President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, APC Governors-elect,
Senators and House of Representatives members elect on their well-deserved
victory at the polls.
