The PUNCH had reported how the ruling APC zoned the seat of Speaker to popular Kaduna lawmaker, Tajudeen Abass, while the reps-elect from South East, Benjamin Kalu, clinched the Deputy Speaker slot. But some of the aggrieved lawmakers vying for the position of Speaker rallied themselves and stormed the national headquarters of the ruling party seeking an explanation to the adopted zoning formula. He said, “You recall in one of the meetings which you (Adamu) summoned us to the Villa with the vice president. While doing that, as politicians, we slowed things but everybody continues the fight to get the favour of our colleagues. We will re-invite all Senators and House of reps-elect in due course after the National Assembly election.
