A non political group, ‘The Ikorodu Progressives (TIP)’ has appealed to the leadership of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Lagos state to zone the position of the speaker of the State House of Assembly in the 7th Assembly to Ikorodu axis in the Lagos East Senatorial District.
The group made the request in a release addressed to the Chairman, ACN Lagos state, Chief Henry Ajomale and signed by its Chief Coordinator, Sir Ayodele Elesho.
TIP is specifically requesting that Hon. Sanai Agunbiade who represents Ikorodu 1 constituency be allocated the seat, assuring the party leadership that their representative will not disappoint the party and indeed the good people of Lagos state
"We wish to passionately appeal that under this new dispensation, the speakership should not only be zoned to Ikorodu axis of the East Senatorial District, but specifically allocated to our son, a distinguished returning member of the House in person of Barrister Sanai Agunbiade representing constituency 1 in the House", the release read.
The group appealed to the party leadership not to concede the seat to anyone currently representing a constituency in the Central or West Senatorial Districts because they produced the governor and deputy governor respectively, "doing so will be tantamount to a rape on the long standing zoning/sharing formula", TIP said.
Justifying its request on the principle of zoning that has been in practice in the state since 1992, the group said "it is only fair and politically equitable to zone the speakership seat for the new Assembly to be constituted to the East senatorial."
