The All Progressives Grand Alliance – APGA says the decision to zone the Speakership position to the Northern part of the state arose from the simple fact that the party had earlier zoned the governorship position in 2022 to the South.

A statement signed by the National Chairman of the Party, Chief Victor Oye said the decision was reached after due and wide consultation with critical stakeholders and need to maintain equity and justice.

The statement explained that the clarification became necessary to correct malicious misrepresentation of facts on the issue.

It urged members of the party across the various divides in the state to abide by the choices made by the party to oversee its affairs in the Seventh Assembly.

It expressed the belief that with the choices, the party is well-positioned to face the challenges ahead and discharge itself creditably in line with democratic tenets, expectations of the people
and the development of the state.
