The members under a caucus, the Nationalists Forum, said it would also submit the zoning template for the 10th National Assembly to “President-Elect”, Bola Tinubu.
Over 250 members and members-elect of the House of Representatives met on Tuesday to adopt a zoning template for the Office of the Speaker and other leadership positions in the Second chamber of the Federal Legislature.
The members under a caucus, the Nationalists Forum, said it would also submit the zoning template for the 10th National Assembly to “President-Elect”, Bola Tinubu.
The members in a statement signed by its convener, Philip Agbese, the member-elect representing Ado/ Okpokwu / Ogbadibo, said their group made up of members drawn from different political parties would not bow to tribal, ethnic, and religious sentiments.
Agbese said after their inaugural meeting, Tuesday's session in Abuja was for critical stakeholders with members agreeing on sharing the offices to reflect geographical spread of the country.
He added that they would seek an audience with the “President-elect” to submit their template to him.
He added that what the nation needed at this crucial time was healing and not further division.
The members, however, assured Nigerians that the best set of leaders would emerge to lead the House of Representatives.
