“It is factual that the chairman of the party from inception was ceded to the Central Zone, the Secretary to the Northern zone, Governorship to the South Zone, and Deputy Governor to the Central zone.
“It is also practicable, that the positions of SGS and House speaker are all ceded to the Northern zone, exhibiting fairness, equity and justice to the zones of the state,” they said.
The group said now that the principles of gentleman arrangements is about to shift the sharing formula; “we deem it wise to urge that the Chairmanship position of the party should be ceded to the Southern zone, while that of the Secretary should be left at the Northern zone.”
