The group said since the party leadership has zoned the Senate presidency to the Northeast, the more plausible thing to do is to allow the Southeast produce the Speaker.
“However, now that the party in its wisdom has decided to zone the Senate President position to the North-East, we strongly believe that the just and equitable thing for our party to do is to zone the Speakership of the House of Representatives to the South-East. Instead, what we see rankles our sense of justice and distorts the pattern of fair sharing as intended by the Federal Character clause in our constitution.

Regrettably, this scenario continues to fuel and amplify the voice of few of our agitating brothers who purport to seek the end of the union, in the absence of fairness and justice.
“But in our case, we are left to swim against the tide. Our assurances to our people that the APC mean well for our people and are willing to integrate us into the mainstream always fall flat on its face because of the attitude of our party to the region.
